Junk Food Cheap? Believe it Not!

It just now occurred to me how lavishly St. John the Baptist lived.  Anyone seen the price of raw honey these days?

You could go with "funny honey" from China.

I am unfamiliar with the Padre Pio diet.  Anyone care to enlighten me?

Nothing but Holy Communion.

My wife was anorexic for many years (still is)

when her Italiain grandmother used to harass her about it she'd said "I'm on the Padre Pio diet!" to shut her up, as her grandmother was a tad obsessed with St. Pio and had pictures of him all over the house.

Thanks for the info.  I should have remembered that as I did read a biography of the saint.  Surely the book would have mentioned it.  Maybe I just need the Ginko Bilabo diet.

I've never been able to manage the St. Pio diet for longer than 24 hours but that's a good one to remember next time someone disturbs me while I'm working.

Hmm.  Actually, that might be the Sherlock Holmes diet I'm thinking about.

$16 for 5lbs of local raw honey for me.

Wow, I think it's about $8/ lb here.

Gloating, hmm?  I haven't touched honey in ages.  The stuff at the store is suspect (Jester's Funny Hunny) and the good stuff has jumped in price.  Colony collapse disorder is likely the culprit.

You just need to move to FlyOver Land (AKA North Dakota).

i saw on one of the permaculture sites i visit recently a home beehive in big mason jars, like the kind you get corn in. there's a few other decent home builds around on a bigger scale too. never tried it myself, though.

good read on top bar hives: http://permaculturenews.org/2010/06/21/home-made-bee-hives/

and a hive in a jar one: http://removeandreplace.com/2013/05/07/how-to-easily-make-a-beehive-in-a-jar-backyard-project-diy/

that's not the hive in a jar i saw, can't find it right now, but it's a pretty simple build.
