If the hatch takes a while your incubator may have fluctuations from one side to the other. Quail eggs are great for seeing what's up in the bator.

Since it is cooler today I am baking some Bread!

3 cups of water
1/4 C Peanut oil
1/4 C Honey
1 tbl. Salt
1 tsp malt powder(opt)
Two room temp eggs, slightly beaten.

put salt, oil, honey, malt powder and yeast into bowl. Heat water to 110 and add to bowl. Stir and let sit for 5 min.or so.

slightly beat eggs and add to mixture. Add flour until a stiff dough is formed and kneed until satiny--7 minutes or so. Let dough rise until doubled in a warm place(about an hour).

Punch down and kneed to remove bubbles(actually it is redistributing the yeast--Thank you Alton Brown!) Divide into three parts, shape and put each part into a greased loaf pan. Let rise until doubled(and hour usually)

Bake at 375 until lightly browned and hollow sounding when the bottom is tapped, Approx 20 minutes.

Note: recipe is off of the top of my head--I do not use a recipe for bread.

Darn you, Kelly, you had to go and say it. Because I read every post, I become attracted to stuff through repetition and when folks I admire weigh in, I get sucked further into certain endeavors.

I had started ruminating upon non-personalized quail as food; nearly fifty years ago, my grandmother served quail and partridge my uncle and cousin hunted. I liked the flavor and actually remember plucking some when I was ten years old. Wow. My cousin showing me the shot in the meat as he cleaned them. Interesting.

And I loved the flavor at that odd age of "Ewww, that's icky!" responses to this or that food.

Hmmmm. Hmmm. Yeah, I think I want quail too. As another BYCer of note would say, "Craptastic."
