I love this dessert, I tend to go over the top and get a bunch of berries and put them through a flour sifter and add that pulp to straight gelatin rather then do jello. I like a cookie or gram cracker crust but I tend again to go overboard and do 6 layers of deep dish goodness, I find a pie...

Yeah one good breeder in all of BC, check them out http://www.gradeehfarms.ca/barnevelder.html Very good people but expensive birds for a reason, which is why I'm really thinking about it, I think the price is fair my fear is my own inexperience, I just dont want to buy chicks at such a cost and...

@doublelaced So pretty, I'm not a fan of the blue but the black and the silvers are on my wanted list Nice chicken! @junibutt no I have not but I will, I really wanted to avoid shipping but depending on where she is I'll think about it. I'll probably go with the better stock of the breeder as...

Its so pretty, nice meringue onlyorps! Congratulations also! How far along are you? I'm about 25 weeks. My husband gained a fair bit of weight with me through the first pregnancy but I did better loosing mine, he's doing so good with his commitment to getting in shape so far. His issue is...

Thank you for that note, I dont think I would as I love taking photos and I'd remove the saddles if I did as shoot. Glad your chickens are mite free!

So that's why people get chicken saddles, I'm so silly, I actually thought it was some sort of fancy way to ID your chickens. Thank you for this, I've decided to get some barred Plymouth rocks, I FOUND A SOURCE! and do some more research on barnevelders. I can get 3 pullets for 100$, or straight...

Last time I made a lemon pie I had it with a nice roast and roasted garlic mash potatoes, any time I know my husband needs a chear up meal it's a roast, meaty stew or chilli. Meat, men love meat or at least thats how it works for all the men I know. Plus then you get roast beef sandwiches to...

I look forward to seeing all the recipes posted, I'm terrible and a lot of the food I make I don't really follow a recipe, I just feel it out. I have one bread book "Dough simple contemporary bread" by Richard Bertinet, that I really enjoy using, if anyone wants I could post some of the recipes...

Thank you cavemanrich.

Not that I can take them being in Canada but PICTURES PLEASE! If you can.

Nope can't look at chicks yet, no temptation allowed as still need to move onto the property and build a coop. I may pick up mid April or May and I've planned on getting my Plymouth Rocks from True North Farms in Langley. But soon, soon I will have little peeping fuzz balls.

I would make soup, portion and freeze. When I was working anyways, my pots aren't big enough to make so much that my husband will let me put any in the freezer. Love broccoli soup, I've done a broccoli, spinach, cream cheese mixture and wrapped it up in philo pastry and froze that in individual...

Awesome thread, I used to work as a chef and I always ended up on desserts as I seemed to be the only one who never made a mistake baking. I did a year at a production bakery as my last job before I got pregnant and had so much fun making bread and since then have never bought a loaf. Store...

Please give me advice on sand Hi, I'm planning my coop, which we wanted to incorporate under a deck. Basically we have a 4 foot high deck off our house with two open ends, one end being nest box area and the other end a door for opening up for chickens and cleaning. Under the deck has great...

This is such a beautiful photograph of a beautiful bird I hope you think about entering it in a photo contest. Seriously stunning. Getting my first chickens, BPR in a month, hope to make therm happy and they return my kindness in yummy eggs.
