Rethinking 'Homemaking' with Friends

My first project will be Sima, a low alcohol, quick mead. I learned about it at Hella D. Now I am also thinking that I will make this an informal get together of other folks curious about those lost arts that used to be standard household/ kitchen operations.

So if you are one of my invited friends, and you want to participate/ partake, not just watch, here is what you will need to bring; brown sugar,  honey, lemons, raisins, used wine bottle and a few bucks to go toward the purchase of wine corks/ corker that is still needed.  You will be able to drink your Sima in about a week!!

The next project will be Jelly Canning: either herbal, tea or fruit depending on what we can get enough of. What to bring for that one; herb/tea/fruit we chose, sugar, pectin, rings, lids and jars (for jelly, usually pint sized or smaller).

Future projects will be Sausage, Cheese making, Bee Keeping/Hive Making and Plant clipping/ seedling swap!!! Details to be announced later!
