How to Make Great Fresh Mozzarella Cheese This has been Revised a little bit because some people have had a little trouble with the original. Even I had a few bad batches. The main differences are the times in the microwave. Follow the instructions carefully and you should end up with an almost 100% foolproof batch of Mozzarella Cheese If you like fresh home made Mozzarella Cheese then try out this Instructable. There are a lot of recipes on the internet but a lot of them seem to skip an important step or 2 or don't really explain it well enough, so I have made many batches through trial and error combining things that I have learned and experimented with (so you don't have to) and come up with this recipe that seems to work real good. There are also a lot of recipes out there saying make Mozzarella Cheese in 30 minutes. I use whole milk for mine but you should be able to use skimmed, 1%, or 2% milk also.

Free Online Course Materials | Courses Sea Shepherd Creating A Simple And Inexpensive Rain Water Collection System | The Farm - Old World Garden Farms Our barn’s metal roof is our supply of water for the entire farm Visitors to the farm are usually surprised to learn that we water the entire garden and landscape with reclaimed rain water. Our system, which collects and stores rainwater from our barn’s metal roof, provides 100% of our annual watering needs. The best part, it was extremely easy to install, and can be inexpensively adapted to almost any home, shed or roof with a gutter. We spent the past week hooking our tanks back up from winter storage – and within 24 hours - we had just over 150 gallons stored from a single rain. It gives us access to free water, and with our two plastic tote tanks, can collect as much as 550 gallons from a single downpour. How it works: Through a simple in-line diverter – the rainwater is carried to our main capture tank The system collects rain water from a simple adapter made to fit our existing barn’s gutter. This is from one single rain last week – about 125 gallons Happy Gardening!! Like this:
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Global carbon dioxide concentrations surpass 400 ppm Greenhouse gas rise is 'significant milestone' How To Become Water Self Sufficient The following article has been contributed by Lucas Patriotus, a special services veteran with years of survival training. It has been published with permission of the author. It does not necessarily represent the views of PreppingToSurvive.com. Water Is Life I don’t need to tell you why your family needs safe potable water as well as long term food storage, first aid kits, and other survival gear to survive the aftermath of an emergency or disaster. People can live for days or even weeks without food but no one survives past 4 or 5 days without water. “…Drinking, sanitation and hygiene constitute the basic human survival needs for water. Including drinking, sanitation and hygiene that same family of four would require 1560 gallons of potable water to survive for 30 days. Water Availability is not Guaranteed What if one day after an emergency or disaster you turn on the tap and either nothing comes out, or what comes out is unsafe to drink?

Chinese and Japanese Kanji Translation and Tattoo Image Service Don't end up with meaningless or fake Chinese characters on your body! Free Japanese/Chinese Dragon Symbol Tattoo. The Asian Tattoo Caveat: It seems that having Chinese/Japanese character tattoos is getting more popular every day. But there is a huge problem! Many people (including Britney Spears) are ending up with incorrect characters or meaningless characters that some tattoo artist simply made up. There are even websites in China and Japan whose sole purpose seems to be making fun of American movie stars, ball players, and singers who've been inked with strange Asian tattoos. Don't end up with "Big Gay Pink Dragon" on your arm (unless that's what you want). To help you avoid tragedy, I've created this "Asian tattoo service". Whether you need just one simple character, or you want a whole phrase translated, we'll do it for you, and output it as large image files in a variety of character styles. I've been studying Japanese and Chinese for a decade, but that's not enough. To Order: Zhuanshu:
Cheapest DIY Rain Barrel (Works Better Than Most) So I found a way to build an effective rain collection barrel for around $40. All parts were purchased at the local Ace Hardware store. I used a trash can (32 gal) for easy cleaning and construction. A 55 gal blue barrel could be adapted for increased water needs. 1 trash can with lid2 plastic downspout extenders (accordion style), fitted to the size of your downspout1 bulkhead fitting1 boiler drain valve1 tube silver gutter sealant At first I tried silicone to seal the seams, but it wouldn't stick the the trash can material. Since using Seamer Mate, I found the Lowe's version. This stuff has a million waterproofing uses, and what great adhesion! Here is a close-up of the bulkhead fitting. The best part about this design is that every drop of rain is directed into the barrel, and once full, all rain is redirected into your drain system. During winter, the barrel can be removed. If the trash can is too much of an eyesore, you could always build a little house like I did here.
