    Sometimes it depends on the rice too. One cannot expect the same performance as a heavy duty one. I had the Ultra Fastgrind and it was definitely grinding it fine. But that one was huge and heavy to handle for my small hands. It grinds fine when I soak the grains overnight. But a lot depends on the rice variety, if I use the local Uncle Ben's parboiled, not even the heavy duty one grinds that rice.

    I gave her 1000mg ( 1 capsule /day ). The company is local here called Zeller which makes plant based supplements. The Capsule name is called Epogam. I take 1 cap per day. It helps with hormonal balance in the later years of a woman. My daughter doesn't take it now, maybe now will start during the summer school break.

    I did this myself and it works to get tread, BUT if they are too longs (more tread) the wheels rip up the boundary wire. Less in more (or else you will be splicing/fixed the wire; it is easy to FIND the broken wire since it stops right in the place it cut it).

I use little baby cornichon style pickles last time and they came out super crunchy. This time I used large waxy cucumbers so I would have long Spears they did not stay crunchy as last time. So yes and this is actually today so yes the type of cucumber definitely matters. I don't really like the brine flavor. I didn't mean to offend you but yes yours had kind of an off-color. What I do is after a few days I pour off the salty brine and add in vinegar and sugar to give it a pickle flavor but use the fermentation process. Definitely the type of pickle matters I won't use big Spears anymore.. good luck

I have been searching for a good salve or balm to help moisturize her skin. I’m excited to try this recipe!

    Thank you for your kind comments and feedback. Sometimes, I feel no amount of creams help if we don't address the underlying cause. In today's environment, its quite difficult to address everything. But as parents we try. Children undergo a lot of stress too even in the womb and such things trigger their imbalances. My daughter is still not fully cured, but we try to keep it under control. Dairy and gluten is just one of the main causes. But its difficult to keep it under control when she is out and about. For the milk intolerance, we found a way to give her Lactase tablets (that is what its called here in German) and that way she can tolerate diary to a certain extent. Ok will change the title.
