If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

Welcome to the Pioneering Today podcast episode number 85 with me Melissa K Norris and I am

really excited today's episode. We are talking about a very old-fashioned old-time pioneer way of preserving your meat using the dry curing method. I'm so excited for this episode because this is an area

that I don't have a ton of experience in personally but I've always been fascinated by.

So we have done where you've brine different cuts of your meat

and then we have smoked them.

We've done ribs and fish, but I haven't done my own pepperoni's salamisashuto pincheta and all of those different cuts and I

haven't done where you do the dry curing meaning with just the salt and then you hang the cuts like they did back in the

pioneer days but I love these old-time forms of preservation one because I think

they're important skills that a lot of us don't have today,

and if we don't find people that know how to do them and teach them and pass them on to other

people, then these can be lost. And I also think it's important to know how to do

this one so we can do it ourselves because I mean who doesn't want home cured
