post #39371 of 50938

Reading all this talk about canning is making me long for summer.  We have wild black raspberries in the woods, rhubarb and strawberries in the garden, two pear trees, two blueberry bushes, two cherry trees and one small apple orchard.  I spend most of my summer canning jams, veggies, making applesauses and anything else we can come up with.  We even have two kitchens so I can keep harvesting and canning while cooking dinners.

 

I really had a hard time typing this, while watching my son eating fried rice.pop.gifHe takes a very small bite of rice and washes it down with water, while the rice is still in his mouth.  He even growled at the rice once.  Two large glasses of water later he finally finished the small amount of rice.  I don't understand how a kid will eat Kvas, but won't eat rice or anything with rice in it!  idunno.gif

Fuzzy-

I am so sorry about your hen..every now and then one of them is very special and its very sad to lose them. I felt that way about Carmen- the only chicken I have had that had a real name.. hugs.gif

 

Someone said something about skunks-

 

When my sweet old Dane met a skunk, she was sooooooooooooooo sickbyc.gif  I was told to go to the store and buy womens douche..enough to soak her...wanna guess what any of the people at the store thought when I bought enough douche to soak a Great Dane?

ALLLLLLLLLLLLL my little Showgirls and SHowgirl Nots have come out from under the heater thing! THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!

 

I got seven showgirls. and three nots. 

One black, and TWO of the CUTEST black but not black, the fuzz on their bowties, top of their heads, and chests is grey...

 

SOO adorable. 

 

Two eggs that are due on Friday are peeping loudly...so I pulled the eggs out from under my broody and stuck them under her. I actually put four eggs, but two are duds- they shouldnt have made lockdown, but I didnt want to give up on them. Those two peeping are Uggo eggs, actually three of my showgirls and nots are Uggos...I just dont know which ones.

Olive -I would love to can but would not want to impose.  I suppose we could prepare the fruit or item to be canned in our own kitchen and just do the actual canning part together in  your kitchen.

And we could bring our own jars and even pots/pressure cookers.

I would love to do tomatoes and jams.

My husband won't eat rice.  He says it reminds him too much of maggots.

Olive..your kitchen is too far away from me.

I would really enjoy seeing your farm, and learning how to can. My grandmother used to make grape jelly from the grapes off her vines.

I never paid any attention. 

 

THen, when I lived with my Gram and Gramps in Tennessee, I was too busy being a teenager to pay attention when they canned EVERYTHING..back then, I was trying to find a reason NOT to be in the kitchen with them...now I wish...

WOOHOO! PARTY AT OLIVE'S!


HH, I have been having posting problems on my regular computer, phone still works ok

In a moment of weakness I ordered silkie eggs. Then, conveniently forgetting it, I ordered more silkie eggs. Then in a moment of rebellion (Don't you have enough chicks already?) I ordered more cochin bantam eggs. roll.png

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

 I have seen that myself. They know when one of their own are dead.  I have even had a hen follow me and look in the hole as I buried her friend.  We underestimate these creatures.

I want to learn to can. My bio mom says she will teach me.

Fuzzy, sorry about Rose. That being said, Leila is only just a year, and she is on her second brood. She has also turned into the biggest (b)witch ever. I am going to be setting her up in solitary this weekend. She's due to hatch them silkie babies on the 17th. Wow. She is very food aggressive when she comes out to eat. She is also the filthiest right now. Her current littles get all over her... Have crapped on her! Ugh!

I couldn't believe 69 posts while I was gone today! Chattering. Good canning and recipe info.

I have to go empty chicken and duck food out of my car....
At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.
