Beef or pork?

Sorry to hear about your accident. Maybe you need to start using a cane. I have one cane for use while tending the chickens and another in my truck. Please make sure you use your whole arm on the left side. Get well!

I agree! I bought a cane when I impaled myself on a garden rake (it was nasty). Doing animal chores alone means no crutches, and I do keep injuring myself. Hugo has feet to stay in place even in the bedding of the coop, and I used another in the house.

Tried something new today...I took 2 different breakfast cookie recipes and combined parts of both to make my own version. They turned out well and will be fun to play around making with different ingredients.

Breakfast Cookies
(makes 12)

2 to 2 1/2 Cups oats
2 ripe, mashed bananas
1 Cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 Cup honey or real maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cup mix ins (dried fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut, chocolate chips, etc.)

* Heat oven to 325*
* Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well
* Using a 1/4 Cup measuring cup, scoop dough onto lined baking sheet (about 6 per sheet). Gently press dough down as these cookies do not spread.
* Bake 17-20 minutes (until edges are lightly browned)
* Cook on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to cooling rack
* Store at room temp up to 5 days or in fridge up to 10 days

The ones I made today had dried cherries, coconut and pepitas in them...yum!

The variance in the oat measure is due to what you put into the mix. If you substitute something like pumpkin puree for the banana, you might want to add the additional oats for the thicker batter. You can also substitute apple butter or maybe applesauce for the honey.

Well, shoot. Now I gotta go to the store tomorrow and get some stuff- these sound like a must make.

Good morning Marie Hope life is treating you well . My issues are still bothering me and now I have a new problem. On Monday I was collecting eggs and on my way back and started up the steps when my right knee gave out. I fell backwards and landed on the ground, catching myself with my left hand. I broke my hand in two places. I had surgery on Friday, they put a metal plate and pins in my wrist. Needless to say, it hurts a lo, but I'll get through it like I get through everything else. Thank you for asking about me.

Oh Grammy60, prayers for a speedy healing. Work that hand, shoulder and elbow. When you get up in age, joints want to freeze on ya - ask me how i know. I will give you the advise my MD gave me- slow down, watch where you put your feet and stay off ladders. i would add- use a cane.

Hope you like them! They're good with a cup of coffee or hot tea and they aren't too sweet.

Thanks for the great advice, I will remember to do that and talk with the doctor about it as well. Thanks for the hugs




Thank you I agree with you, didn't need or want another injury . I've never broken anything before and wish I hadn't. I will hope it heal fairly quick, but being my age I don't know . Less pain would be awesome.




No jumping around here, just walking normal and my knee gave out . Yes, I have my hubby here to help out.

I'm so pleased you have a little help

The end of last year, i fell spilling coffee up my walls and really hurting my elbow, my dog just sat near me bless him until I could get back up. It's not an injury where it can be fixed so have to be careful not to lean on it. My knee and ankles can stick at times I try to exercise my ankles and feet, nothing can be done for my knees or anywhere on my body, so i just keep plodding on regardless hoping I can last out

Hey we are still alive that's something to be grateful for.

Hello

Like me you have an adversity to metal, so I loathe aluminium and have been trying to find a ceramic frying pan or skillet as you Americans call them. Would you have any ideas?

I've been trying to find something for weeks, still no luck

Mine is named after my sister because it was born on her birthday. Also, it makes such a face when it’s hungry!
