32°F now with a lot of snow over the night. Decided to have a little fun this morning.

Well, I was wrong about that large 2.5oz egg. It was a really big single yolk.

Maybe it means bigger eggs like that in the future? I don’t know.

I’ve found that golden sex links have BIG or fat brown eggs.

A recipe popular this time of year.

Salt dough ornaments (or baby hand and footprints)

2 cups flour

1 cup table salt

1 cup water


Mix the salt and flour together, then slowly add the water until a ball is formed.

Knead dough 7-10 minutes.

Roll out dough and cut into shapes.

Allow to air dry or bake at 325 on a foiled cookie sheet. For each 1/4 inch of thickness, cook for 1/2 hour.

Allow to cool, and decorate.

Store unused dough in a plastic bag.

The recipe is in the index, in the miscellaneous tab

It’s their first time seeing a lot of snow. So far only one of the Barred Plymouth rocks and one of the golden sex links are investigating what they call an unusual phenomenon.

Six eggs a day now.

Me too and it doesn’t look like we will get a white Christmas either, but that only happens every 10 years or so anyways what really disturbed me was when I heard on the news that 2023 was the warmest year in recorded history ( if you take the median temperature) and this year, even though we still have 2 weeks to go, topped 2023

Sourdough waffles this morning.

It’s interesting, when I got up this morning after letting the sponge rest overnight, I saw and heard it bubble.

Here is the recipe I used. I’m pretty sure it’s already in the index.

Who wants to see something really funny that’s baking related?

I just made some more sourdough waffles from leftover batter. I happened to set it near the fish tank, and I caught my fish swimming down to the bottom of the tank to take a look at the waffles. I got five pictures of him doing this.

Well, that’s Flare for you. He’s always interested in what I’m cooking. Probably because he lives in the kitchen so he sees people cooking a lot.
