Lost my little rose, the one that was brooding. Feel like i lost part of myself. Of the hens, there are two that i loved the most, and wanted to keep, she was one of them. I have spent the last couple days caring for her, trying to help her. I had found out that she was constipated, she had not wanted to get off the nest to go. I tried everything to help, but she just didn't make it. I feel so awful, i shouldn't have let her brood at so young an age, i had thought that they were born "knowing what to do".

Sorry about your loss.

Don't blame you.  The "tomatoes" they sell in stores don't taste good anyway.  

I make a similar sauce -- but do not blend it because I like mine chunky -- and when I cook for our family of four I just cover one of my big cookie sheets with the sauce ingredients.  Maybe Chicken Grandma will have more precise measurements. 

I'm not really expecting precision...I just know me, and I would end up using too much onion or something & it would turn out blech. lol...some things in the kitchen I can master, but some things I just plain suck at.

All this talk of food & cooking...I've wandered over to the recipe index here, there's some stuff I think I want to try

v.

A past participle of buy.

adj.

1. Commercially made; purchased, as opposed to homemade: boughten bread.

2. Artificial; false. Used of teeth.

Regional Note: American regional dialects allow freer adjectival use of certain past participles of verbs than does Standard English. Time-honored examples are boughten (chiefly Northern U.S.) and bought (chiefly Southern U.S.) to mean "purchased rather than homemade": a boughten dress, bought bread. The Northern form boughten (as in store boughten) features the participial ending -en, added to bought, the participial form, probably by analogy with more common participial adjectives such as frozen. Another development, analogous to homemade, is evident in bought-made, cited in DARE from a Texas informant

 

 

Fuzzy, sorry to hear about your little hen.

 

Baking improves the taste of store tomatoes beyond belief

OMG this is hilarious, I did not realize that was a real word either even though I sometimes say it!! Now i can tell my BF to stop correcting me, hehe.

I will have to try baking tomatoes I get from the store until I can get a crop to pick from. :)

Yep it is Homers baby. Nice lookin boy but needs a mate or a roaster

Homer has turned into quite a stud goose once he got his mojo back. Has two girlies and he keeps those eggs fertile.

The one baby gosling I kept of his I named Gisele. Was sexed as a girl :(. Turned into George last fall.
