Thanks, y'all. I did tell them "Nice work, ladies!" when I found them. I just now went out there this morning (froze my feet off) and let them out of the coop and gave them more food. No more eggs yet. Still haven't eaten any of the first three from yesterday. I figure my wife put the...
My wife has been doing 95% of the feeding/watering/cleaning for the chickens but yesterday after work I just happened to walk back and check on them. These are our first chickens ever. I was pretty surprised/excited to find 3 eggs! We have 6 chickens and got all of them too young to lay. We...
I'm planning on (one day) putting a sign on our coop that reads... "De Ville". But first gotta finish the lattice on the deck, build the raised garden enclosed by fence, decorative outhouse to use for storing gardening tools, wishing well cover for the well pump out front, wiring the shop...
Need a slice of cheese (cheddar or American) on that and mayo instead of mustard and lots of black pepper. Never tried the Heinz 57 sauce on one. Sounds interesting. Hey, I'm next door in Fuquay.
My dogs and my cat like to all come get in my lap and sit with me for a couple of hours early weekend mornings while we're waiting for everyone else to get up. I must not be a completely bad guy after all.
OK, let's see what y'all are having. I'll start out by showing the hot wings I made. Half are hot (Frank's, butter, garlic powder), about 1/4 are teriaki & black pepper, and 1/4 are salt & vinegar. They're crisping up a little more in the oven right now. Got lots more food for the superbowl...
Yeah, let us know what happens. I love my two doggies so much I can't stand it when they're sick. My little Shi-tzhu was recently groomed and they cut her hair too short so she gets cold a lot. She's got a sweater on right now and is snuggled up between my legs on the foot-stool with a...
So we went out and got 6 chickens. First we got a RIR and a Golden Buff. Those two have been together in the same run/coop from day one and are doing fine together. Then my wife went and got 2 baby chicks (they're about 3 weeks old now) that are both Ameraucanas and a Silkie that is about...
Two eggs fried in bacon grease over medium, lots of fresh ground black pepper with a half can of "Ranch Style Beans" and a few shakes of Dat'l Do-It Devil Drops.
Chicken... um... suprise. I boiled 3-4 chicken legs and a couple of thighs about 1/2 hour then let them cool. Shredded them and de-boned them and put them back into the broth they'd made. Added a can of cream of mushroom soup and some egg noodles and a diced onion... and a bouillon cube...
Homemade macaroni and cheese with bacon here. I boiled some elbow macaroni in water and a little bacon grease to keep it from sticking together. I fried up about 1 1/2 pounds of bacon and drained it, then crumbled it all up. I diced up an onion and sauteed it in some of the leftover bacon...
Me. Of course when I show up, the meatloaf and potatoes don't stay around for long. But seriously, how about some navy beans? Don't forget LOTS of gravy, and no tomato paste stuff on the meatloaf... Melt some cheese on top for the last 5 minutes in the oven instead. mmmm....
'Bout to get my drink on and my snack on. That's an icy cold Yuengling and some stew beef that I cut up really small and marinated for about 3 hours in soy sauce and hot chili sauce, then fried in the pan. Some celery salt and cracked black pepper to top it off. Weather sucks outside so I'm...
Welcome and thanks for the idea. I mentioned to my wife about a month ago that I was thinking of building a decorative outhouse to put in the back yard just because I think it would look cool and we live out in the middle of nowhere so it's not like any neighbors would complain or something...
