Looked in your closet lately? If you have and cringe at the sight of some your clothes, it's time to start going through your closet and get rid of the old stuff. After all, you don't need to b...

What the Heck is Bouquet Garni and Why Would I Use It?
Bouquet garni is a fancy French term for a bundle of fresh herbs tied together and added to soups and stews. The dried version is much more practical and easy to put together. It stores well in an airtight container and needs no refrigeration...

So, you're looking for a purebred dog from a dog breeder who specializes in the type of breed you're interested in. I'm not going to go over the breed types and what breed is right for you, but rather where you should buy your dog. I'm not going to go over why you should adopt from a shelter or b...

Mead or honey-wine has an ancient history that dates back to at least 7000 BCE. Over the centuries, mead has been the drink of kings, warriors, and commoners, and has come back into favor with home brewers and craft meaderies. You can make your own mead quite easily. It only takes water, honey, a...

Is that olive oil you're using really extra virgin? Or is it some tawdry strumpet made up to look like extra virgin olive oil? Sure, it says it is extra virgin olive oil on the label, but how would you know if it weren't? It's not as if looking at the contents from outside the bottle will tell yo...

"Did know you can hunt outside of Los Angeles?" Larry asked me the other day.
To be perfectly honest, I had no idea. But I wasn't too surprised. But if you live in an urban area and are new to hunting, chances are you may think that you can't be a locacarnivore because you don't live in someplace...

It's no secret that if you can't find game animals, you can't shoot them. Which is why having a good game spotter in your party is imperative. Don't despair if you hunt alone -- there are ways to improve your game spotting techniques.
Over the years, I've been the primary game spotter of the fami...

We were walking through the timber when suddenly we heard the distinctive sound of ruffled feathers as a grouse exploded from its hideout. I had some choice words for it as the bird gave me the bird and soared downhill, never to be seen again.
Grouse. If it's not on the menu, well, it should be. ...

You got a deer this season! Congratulations! At this point, you've noticed that the deer had a bunch of fat on it and instead of tossing it in the trash, you were wondering if there was something easy you could do with it. It's no good for eating, being extremely gamey, but it does make excellent...

This year, I've had the luck of happening into cucumbers and tomatillos for free. (These kinds of things sometimes happen when you live in a rural area.) So, I immediately set about preserving them for use. I love green salsa, so getting a bunch of tomatillos was a huge windfall.
My own tomatillo...

It's getting to be that time of year when our gardens are starting to wind down. If you're a lazy farmer,
chances are you've let some of your plants already go to seed. That's actually a good thing, if you think about it. Saving seeds is an excellent way to maintain sustainability and to take you...
