I'm glad you liked it. Hope it will come in handy for any of us trying to cook what we grow.
I tried out the Fricassee of Chicken on an old rooster, and it came out all-right. I need more practice to judge the quality against my limited cooking skills. That's the only thing to say about...
SERVING AND CARVING POULTRY
Poultry of any kind should always be served on a platter or in a dish that has been heated in the oven or by running hot water over it. After placing the cooked bird on the platter or the dish from which it is to be served, it should be taken to the dining room and...

PREPARATION BY STEWING AND OTHER COOKING METHODS
CHICKEN STEWED.--Perhaps the most common way of preparing chicken is to stew it. When chicken is so cooked, such an addition as dumplings or noodles is generally made because of the excellent food combination that...
COOKING OF POULTRY
COOKERY METHODS
With poultry, as in the case of meats of any kind, it is the composition that determines the method of cookery; and, as the structure and composition of the tissue of poultry do not differ materially from those of meats, the application of the various cooking...
PREPARATION OF POULTRY OTHER THAN CHICKEN
PREPARATION OF TURKEY.--The preparation of a plucked turkey for cooking is almost identically the same as that of a plucked chicken. Begin the preparation by singeing it; that is, hold it over a flame and turn it so that all the hairs on the skin will...
PREPARATION OF POULTRY FOR COOKING
PREPARATION OF CHICKEN
As has been implied, poultry must be properly prepared before it is ready for cooking; likewise, the method of cookery determines how it must be prepared. For example, if it is to be roasted, it must be drawn; if it is to be stewed, it...
SELECTION OF POULTRY OTHER THAN CHICKEN
The determination of quality, especially freshness, is much the same for other kinds of poultry as it is for chicken. In fact, the same points apply in most cases, but each kind seems to have a few distinguishing features, which are here pointed out...
SELECTION OF CHICKEN
To be able to select chicken properly, the housewife must be familiar with the terms that are applied to chickens to designate their age or the cookery process for which they are most suitable. Chicken is a general name for all varieties of this kind of poultry, but in its...
SELECTION OF POULTRY
GENERAL INFORMATION.-- The selection of any kind of poultry to be used as food is a matter that should not be left to the butcher. Rather, it should be done by some one who understands the purpose for which the poultry is to be used, and, in the home, this is a duty that...

POULTRY AS A FOOD
POULTRY is the term used to designate birds that have been domesticated, or brought under the control of man, for two purposes, namely, the eggs they produce and the flesh food they supply. All...
I thought I'd pass this along to all the cooks here. It is a chapter from a set of Home Economics textbooks printed in 1923, and consisted of 5 volumes. If anyone is interested, Project Gutenberg has all 5 volumes. Unfortunately, they didn't keep the illustrations, so I had to remove all...
Went thru this as well, and all our kids have had varying degrees of impaction.
Enemas are more hurtful than helpful to small children! Add to that that enemas can be painful, SCARY, and stressful.
The doctor's at Children's Hospital here had us use Glycerin Suppositories (just plain...
Here's a few ideas for fighting cold weather --
Get a BLACK tarp that will cover the roof of your building. The black will absorb the most solar heat possible. You could paint it, but then you have to fight the excess heat come summer.
Wrap the OUTSIDE of your building and run with Heavy...
I get $2.50 per dozen for small to large eggs, mixed cartons (I carton them as they're laid). I get $3.75 per dozen for the Extra-large and Jumbo eggs. (some of these are as big as a duck egg)
I recycle cartons collected from friends and neighbors, so no costs there. For my regular customers...
My bunch will peck at my shoelaces on whatever pair I'm wearing, whether it's tennies, or moccasins. I think they think I have worms on my shoes. They of course, love the beads on my moccasins! They haven't pulled any off, but anytime I wear them, at least one of them has to have a peck at...
Still WANT that Holy Water?? I'll send ya some if you do.
Sounds like it's time to move the rambling horde out to a nursery pen with a good heat lamp.
Hope Dharma and Crowd are still OK
Birdnutz - I hear ya on the seeing for miles! I miss it, and would be there in a heartbeat if I could.
You've got some experience with arid conditions up there in WY, but there will be some differences as well.
Best advice I can give you is go rent a place for a whole year. SEE for yourself...
