Nope! Unless a stray cat comes up to the door We have 2 hanging around now.

Once, in my old house, we had a mallard pair come to the door and knock on it with their bills. It was hilarious.

That would be funny! Did they get a handout?

Made a little dessert for after dinner tonight. It's from an old King Arthur recipe that I can't find online anymore. I call it chocolate pudding, KA called it chocolate intemperance (a variation is to add booze to it).

Chocolate Pudding
Make 4 servings 1/2 cup each

1/2 Cup Dutch process cocoa
1 Cup sugar
3 Tablespoons either Instant Clear Jel or cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Cup water
1 Tablespoon either vanilla extract OR espresso powder OR 1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Cups milk or cream
1 Cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, Clear Jel or cornstarch and the salt.
2. Slowly whisk in the water, then the flavor of your choice, and then the milk or cream.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, whisking until they melt.
5. Pour into a bowl, stir occasionally as it cools, to prevent a skin from forming.
6. Pour into individual serving bowl or cups or pour into another storage container. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on the surface, again, to keep a skin from forming.
7. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Sore in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Note: Another variation is to add vodka and coffee liqueur to each 1/2 cup serving. Then rim the glassware with cinnamon sugar (wipe the edge of each glass with a wet cloth and dip into cinnamon sugar mixture).

My messy pouring will be hidden once the whipped cream is put on top

Thanks!

No, they didn't get a handout. I wonder what qualifies as a handout for a duck........

I like eating the skin on it.

I have a question for anyone who cares to answer...how do you store your homemade bread?

 

[jnicholes]

I either freeze it in a bag or I put it in a bag on the counter if I'm going to eat it right away.

It doesn’t last long enough to store it

 

[BullChick]

Bread fits in chicken or turkey processing bags.
