Pressure cookers are amazing!

Lol I have this crock pot, I wasn't sure if it was a crock pot or pressure cooker til I asked someone on BYC, they confirmed crock pot because my description of it was "it has no settings, just a "cook" and "warm" button. I use it to make rice.

My partner hates mash potato he will only eat it in shepards pie thats why I dont share much with Mash Potato in it.
His more of a salad or a pasta side. Ill eat anything.

DH is picky but mashed potato is the one thing he will eat. I'm a pasta and rice person, he's a bread person. I might be slightly celiac. My 23andme test says I have a risk for it and I sometimes break out when eating whole grain bread.

My sweet Duckies today.

They look really happy. Do you know how old they are?

Haha!! Auntie ChickieMama.. and Auntie WhoDat .. I love it
Krystal can be Auntie AussieChick!

Haha! I want to be Auntie Chickemon, because I'm gonna collect all the types of bantams when I get them like yearrsss from now.

Awww that sounds really yummy!!!!! Im not sure what im cooking tonight. I got chicken breast out of the freezer.

Yeah! I gotta make steak filet one of these days.

OMG! A lady working next to me today keeps asking for help like every minute and is on the same pay as me! I dont mind helping but its really really simple things. Im starting to think. How does someone forget little things like that!

Reminds me of the time someone wanted me to write her essay. I helped her with the intro and told her good luck. Nope she wanted me to write it! Then I put my foot down.

Evening folks down under Morning for the rest of us

Morning!

Good Evening
I just sat down. Made dinner, lunches, cleaned up, folded washing and took rubbish to the bin. How are you?

DS just dumped my rubbish on the floor. The scroll thing on our mouse doesn't work anymore either. DH is going to get a nice break when we go to the states for 3 weeks.

So today or tomorrow I plan on doing 2 surveys...one from the nurse that saw Keith cus she asked me to. The other one I am not sure if I will do, here is the backstory..

On the 23rd, that day where we *didn't* see the house, we went to Harvey's after where I got a hotdog. DH kept asking me why I wanted a hotdog when a burger is more filling. I told him the coupon said we could get either a hotdog or a burger and I had never gotten a hotdog there. But when I got to the part where the guy was putting on the veggies I was less concerned about which type of food I got than how he was handling it. He kept touching the receipt to make sure we each ordered 1 hotdog and 1 burger for pete's sakes. Then he touched his shirt. He dropped some of my fries and didn't bother to replace them but I won't ding him for that. What I don't like are receipts because of the cancer chemicals in them. It's bad enough to touch it, I don't want to be ingesting it.

DH tells me to forget it because "he's just a kid". Heck when I was 17 and working at subway I was told I was OCD because I washed my hands to the point of getting eczema.

But maybe I should forget it, I don't know. I pictured submitting the survey online and him getting fired and turning to drugs. But if his boss is like my old one she won't do anything about it anyway.

Sometimes when I tell people about cancer causing stuff they will say it's in everything. Well I have a risk for cancer from both sides of my family and I'm not very active and eat enough processed junk to increase my risk tenfold. So I try to avoid cancer where I can, especially when avoidance is easier than, say, exercising.

Part of me wants to throw the survey paper away and the other part wants to try to protect others from being exposed.

I was still nice to the person making my food and I ate it. If anyone wants to chime in on what they would do I'm all ears.

OMG I hope not! I think its more shes an older women and not the brightest as it is.

Does she get lost navigating from place to place? That is one of the first signs of dementia(Alzheimer disease)

How long does it take to make rice? If it is in the 20 minute range, then you have a rice cooker

Only got 1 egg today

I got 4 chicken, so they are laying at 50% and two quail eggs. I do not know how many hen quail I have though. I will figure it out this weekend and process some of the males

 

[TheBeardie]

My grandmothers doing good, she's having surgery to set the leg and have plates put in to keep it in place. She won't be able to walk for at least three months.

My sister has helped me out the last couple of days by putting my flock up. They where bad girls about going up yesterday so they will have to stay in the coop today.

Only got 1 egg today

My sister isn't particularly fond of chickens, so she did the minimum for my flock. I just got around to collecting eggs and I got seven Bantam eggs and my first two muscovy eggs!

I'm having bad thoughts on these duck eggs. You know... Hatch-y thoughts... I've never done any duck incubation, so I'll have to do more research.

Duck incubation is pretty much the same as chicken incubation. It just take a week longer

Everything seems about the same to me. I usually do a mostly dry incubation since I live in humid Florida and that has given me high hatch rate with chickens. I think I've read that muscovies can be difficult to have a successful hatch. Is that true?
