I asked about that, Smarty Plants, because I had that fear as well. The owner will take out insurance when she opens her new goat yoga mobile studio and it will cover any injuries to the people, to me, and to the goats. Supposedly. I'd need to read the policy of course and would need to make...

My favorite way to save money is to cut the meat in half and bulk the dish up with vegetables instead. Big chunks of onion, green pepper, celery, tomato, and spinach are my usual choices. I grow them at home, so it saves money. It's easy to cut the meat in half when you're making spaghetti...

Which of the conventions and expos have you found to be the most valuable? I think it's important to stay up to date on the latest products and farming methods, but it's hard to take time away, so I need to be strategic about it.
