Well it’s that time of year again for making home made Horse Radish right out of your garden.  I had so many folks ask me how I make mine so………………….here it is.  Enjoy!

A simple recipe for plain ol’ home made Horseradish. I make a lot at once and I put mine in the fridge for 3-4 days then transfer all but one to the freezer. Note: Prep Time and Servings depends on the amount of Horseradish you have and want to make. I also recommend you make this outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

1
Cut roots into manageable pieces.
2
Scrape the outside of the horseradish roots until clean.

3
Drop into cold water after scraping to prevent discoloration.

4
Drain and grind up fine with a hand-grinder.

5
Add 1 tsp of salt to each quart, along with three table spoons of good brand name vinegar to each quart.

6
Cover and refrigerate for a few days before using.

7

If you so choose you can add a touch of sugar for taste, that part is optional.  Enjoy!

I gotta’ tell ya.  I couldn’t have said it any better myself and makes me smile when folks have the gumption to tell it like it is.   Take A Look.

Right on, Andy Rooney!

Andy Rooney said on ’60 Minutes’ a few weeks back:

I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens…Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right ‘NOT’ to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American/Canadian/British citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot or arrest you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can’t understand the word ‘freeze’ or ‘stop’ in English, see the above lines.

I don’t think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special National Assistance, loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, corner store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don’t hate the rich I don’t pity the poor

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn’t stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that’s better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say ‘NO!’

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of ‘Political Correctness.’ I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in  Africa  ; so how can they be ‘African-Americans/Canadian/British’? Besides,  Africa  is a continent.. I don’t go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe  . I am proud to be from America  and nowhere else

And if you don’t like my point of view, tough…

Food For Thought You Might Say

When eating any meal, start with the most bland-tasting foods first, and only move to sweeter or more savory foods later in the meal. This is a great way to train yourself to eat less of the more filling sweetened foods and more of the food basics like salads and vegetables which may not taste quite as exciting. Don’t make the mistake of eating a bite of dessert before the meal, because it really does “recalibrate” your taste and make non-sweetened foods seem ho-hum

pH In The Human Body

Thought You Might like to take a look a pH Chart which shows the pH in certain things. Give you a bit of an idea on how it works.  A little bit of prevention is better than waiting till it’s to late, I always say.

At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live!

Celery, Storage & How To Use It

Well time to start thinking of what lies ahead.  For example winter.  I know, you saying it’s to early, but it isn’t. Fact of the matter is, that this is the time things should be done up and put into jars like tomatoes,  beans, turnips, broccoli, well you can see where I am going.  One item which is on top of our list is good old celery, yep celery.  What we do for most parts is we save the leaves.  My wife she picks all she can, hangs them with a twine till dry and stores in paper bags. Come winter, I gotta’ tell ya, there isn’t nothing better for mixing with meat, soups, or spaghetti’s, just to name a few. Celery may also be dug out of the garden, with the roots
still attached which I do and placed in the basement or root cellar before the freezing temperatures occur.  Then set the plants on the floor and pack them together tightly. If kept moderately moist, the plants will keep 1 to 2 months.Now how hard is that.  Right, not hard at all. Celery should not be stored with turnips or cabbage as the flavor of the celery will be tainted. The temperature of the storage area should be near 34 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity moderate. The roots should be in moist sand or soil. So………….there you go, now when them old north winds start to howl and you want something really tasty.  Make up a bowl of home made tomato soup and sprinkle on top, a few of them dried celery leaves. Hmm…………………….good.  No reason not to stay healthy all winter long.
