Since I'm on my iPad .... For all the times you have done this amber here is one back!

LOL thank you so much @JW12

omgosh @vehve ahah you have to try cornbread

If you never ate it before vehve it can be kinda dry and grainy, great with a good hot chili though. I've made homemade cornbread from scratch (Funny saying that on a chicken site Lol, not the chicken feed) I bake it in a bread pan and slice it like bread with jam. I prefer using Jiffy mix and making muffins for chili. When I add canned corn I don't use the liquid. When I make jalapeno corn bread I just chop some up and add to the mix and put a few slices on top for looks. Sometimes I make cornbread pancakes, with real maple syrup or mollasses (the family thinks I'm gross but I like mollasses).

true that but really depends on the recipe...the more corny grained cornbread I like for chilli, some other things I like more of a cornbread cakey textured cornbread

Same here. Can't slice a dry cornbread it falls apart.

This house, it turned out that the leach field was also the home of a spring.....

So, the random times whenever the spring was running full, the leach field wasn't able to hold all of the spring water AND our household nasty water....


the result was that all of the sewage water would come back and flood the house.

Unfortunately we moved into this mess in a November, by December we didn't have use of the toilet. By May we (aka, hubby and his brother who was living with us, and a little bit of me) dug a trench across the driveway only to find the "poop line" 2-3 feet under the driveway. We just ended up putting a heat trace line on the whole darn thing, wrapped it in insulation and knocked on wood three times. We were hoping to built last year but just ran out of time after our wedding in May. I have a guy who has given me a really good price on a new septic install for our new house.

Last winter our water line froze, who knows were that is dug in. In June I borrowed a mini excavator from work, my boss came over and dug us a new ~100ft long trench from the well to the house. Cost: 40L of diesel and some beers! We never found the old water line...

And that's just what's wrong with the septic system.... can't wait to built this year!!

But you use the whole canned kernels, you don't put it through a mixer or anything?

I would probably like molasses, if it's anything like our dark sugarbeet syrup.


Is molasses darker than this?

BC, nice deal on excavator work.

Molasses is really dark and a byproduct of sugar, not real sweet, much stronger flavor I believe. I like the blackstrap, the strongest. They make distill Rum out of it. I don't use a mixer for cornbread. Just hand mix untill it's incorporated, lumps are OK. I do pancakes the same way.

 

[vehve]

I'll try the cornbread at some point.

The syrup I posted a picture of is a byproduct of sugar production too, but most of our sugar is made from sugar beets, as is that syrup. The syrup is slightly acidic, and has quite a strong flavor, but it's also pretty sweet. Mixing it with brandy is pretty nice too, I'm thinking molasses would work that way too. You'll want about 1 part brandy to 3 parts syrup/molasses. Great with pancakes or ice cream.

my mom's mother sat on the edge of my bed the night she died 200 miles away in a hospital room from an aneurysm. No words were spoken but I knew. The phone call from my mom who was with her came an hour later.

I knew the instant my father died. I was driving home and it was like a pulse went through me. The visual field was like a combination mirage heat wave and the bars that occurred on older-model TV screens when you tried to videotape them. It was just an instant. I looked at the car clock and then looked at the sky. There were odd cloud patterns, I remember that. A short while after I got home I got the phone call.

The newest Alberta thing: Coyote hunt with Cash prizes!
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmon...raws-controversy-threats-in-alberta-1.2894093

We have those in New Mexico. Hit the news again recently as all the coyotes harvested during one hunt were found dumped on State land by the private third party hired to dispose of them.
Our village is coyote friendly...no hunting of them allowed (instituted because somebody took a shot at a coyote and took out a cow). I am a big advocate of them because without them I'd be overrun by rabbits. I will gladly clean up the occasional coyote poop from the driveway in exchange for rodent control. We hear them at night and just before sunset. The property adjacent to ours is vacant and filled with scrub and dunes. We've dubbed it Coyote Acre(s) and there's a den or two back there.
I would be really upset if someone took out the red coyote that we have in the neighborhood. She's gorgeous. The coyote population is, besides the mayoral election, the biggest source of controversy in our local newspaper. It gets nasty with the pro's and con's and the one nut who somehow manages to mudsling at everybody who doesn't agree with him to the point of absurdity, which makes for amusing reading.

Lol deb that's true

Haha I got a "50 shades of grey" pop up add

My stepdaughter was a big fan of the book. For her birthday I found her a copy of "50 Shades of Chicken" cookbook that is written in the same style. It is HILARIOUS! I read one recipe to DH and we were doubled over in laughter....SO over the top.


Hennible,
I posted a ghost story over on Old Folks Home for you. Forgot that the stories were over here on Dixie Chicks. Mea culpa.

made from cornmeal. ground up dryed corn............ have seen and eaten some recipes that have whole corn in it.. and few other veggie bits as well thats more like a I dunno artisan cornbread haha. I like using white cornmeal, have used molassas before...usually dont have it aviable when I make it but I generally have the bsics for a basic cornmeal in my cubbard...

Same here. Can't slice a dry cornbread it falls apart.

yeah but the grainier drier cornbreads perfect for crumbling in chilli or even pork n beans..


did you just mentioned cornmeal pancakes.. nummers havent had that in forever...hrmm might have to make some...cornmeal mush pancakes nummy...theres a childhood flavor

yep thats whats for dinner tonight. good morning @Peep_Show

ugh good morning @BriardChickens that septic thing just sounds like a nightmare..........we went thru so many inspections and maps just into the septic here... we did get mega lucky though the original septic tank was placed in here by the septic tank guys father back in the day ...then his son was the one who installed it so we kinda had a third generation thing with the tanks...but digging deeper paid off for us ..cuz it ended up costing us less and we had a well documented history of the systems and such...


whats the price they giving you I assume thats septic tanka nd drainfield?

G'morning, Amberjem!
