    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...

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    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.

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    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...

    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...

    What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

    I bred netherland dwarf rabbits for my two boas and two corn snakes, it worked very well as the adult bunnies never got bigger then the my biggest female could take and any babies that didn't make it or had to be culled went to the smaller snakes. Anyone who knows true netherland dwarf knows the...

    I was sad too, Precious was a beautiful duck but he also lived a solid pampered life, he even fought off a mink to save his ladies, brave boy. Some Greenpeace do gooders released all the minks at a mink farm near my house, they got the chickens but my Drake kept them off his lady loves. It was...

    Nice bird! You'll never see a slug again with your chickens and Muscovys on the hunt, that was definitely one of the things I loved about my ducks. They could pick a plant clean with no damage, I loved them for eggs but I could never kill or eat a duck. Ducks are way too cute and although I make...

    I know I was so happy when someone on here posted the link to True North and after reading their site I was set on getting my birds from them. Their right close to where we're moving and my husband drives pass them for one of his work site. I think we may just get chicks as I'm probably putting...
