I made this lovely salad bar for them to snack on.....
And they really seemed to enjoy it....
THEN the temperature soared into the triple digits and they decided to renovate it into something more useful.....
So I made them a new salad bar,
and now they have both...salad bar and dust...
My brand new, just-delivered-today Licorice colored KA stand mixer just got through kneading Gump Bread....
This thing is soooooo fabulous I had to give her a name (the Betty part is after Ms Crocker, of course!!).
I quit making homemade bread ages ago because of the hassle, but Betty is gonna...
I just created some yummmmmmmy deviled eggs.....my apologies if someone else has already come up with this, I've never made them and have never looked at recipes, this just popped into my head.
Mixed the yolks with cream cheese and chopped Jalapeno Bread-n-Butters........ I just discovered the...
Got my 3 girls on June 1st.
Pearl (BO) laid the day I brought them home and has done a fine and steady job.
Dorothy (EE) started a week or so later and just about caught up with Pearl, I mean when she started layin', SHE STARTED LAYIN'!
Mildred (RIW) has been the hold out. Nary an egg outta...
I just experienced the most awesome taste sensation!!
They are sweet pickles (hamburger chip style) but have a hot bite to them......anybody know a recipe for canning anything like that?
Just a sweet pickle recipe with jalapenos added to the jar??
I'm new to canning.... and was thinking that...
My new Presto 16qt pressure cooker/canner just arrived!!!
~~just barely though, my garage door was up and my Jeep in the garage and the UPS guy jumped out of his skin when I opened the front door and said "don't scare me like that!!".... I thought it odd that someone who makes a living...
This is just so good for a cold lunch on a hot day......
A can of flaked salmon (not the stuff with skin & bones)
some cream cheese, chopped garlic &/or jalapeno, chopped onion (really just whatever extras you like...) I mix ahead and chill it.
Mix that all up and drop a scoop of it into a...
I have always dreamed of a KitchenAid stand mixer... I have struggled with crappy hand mixers my whole life, and am wondering if I will reeeeeally love a stand mixer like I think I will, or if it will be one of those things you buy and never use.
I love baking, especially things with pie crusts...
Pearl scared the bejeebers outta me! I went out there and she was laying down, but not the usual pre-lay-an-egg thing, I thought she was "gone". Wasn't until I got right up to her that she hopped up.
It's a pretty hot day, so I think that was a lot of it, she was maybe just napping in the shade...
Is there any reason why chix should NOT have wild bird seed? I don't mean as their source of food, I mean just scattered around once in awhile...theory being, they can either snack on it, or it might sprout into a tasty morsel....I have sunflowers sprouting from seeds dropped from the wild bird...
I got my girls on Monday, one has laid 3 times, the other two not yet.
What I find odd is that they had no interest whatsoever in the celery I tossed to them, or the cantaloupe, or the ears of corn. I thought they'd really go for those things!!
Could it be because maybe they were never given...
Greetings from Texas.......
I recently decided to convert and old dog house into a hen house (the dogs have a doggy-door and access to my bed, so naturally they turn their noses up at a dog house!!)
It's a big one 4' high, 7' wide and 4' deep, shingled roof, pretty old but still holding up.
I...
