Where do you find that spider emoji? I saw it on the hallowe'en thread and was wondering were they found it.

Many people do it in a pressure cooker. I admit I just do mine on the stove. I wonder what the cost is - it is boiled at a very low setting but indeed for a very long time.

I would say our energy costs here (both propane - gas - and electric) is likely way less expensive than in Europe. We (Canada and US) are energy rich and even though we like to gripe about the cost, from everything I see the cost is much less here.

I need to do an off topic tax but my phone is charging I am using the laptop at the moment, notice I can type faster and no autocorrect!

I have also fed chickens to my chickens, more than once. Our elderly neighbour gives us often left overs from the food his daughters cook for him and it's usually not stuff we want to eat, so it used to end up in the chickens plate, if it wasn't spoiled.They have had rotisserie chicken, couscous, cassoulet, boar and deer stew, and a number of old pastries that I didn't dare eat, due to that supply chain.
Now my elder ladies seem to have some trouble getting indigestions so we don't do that anymore.

I have a question regarding bone broth. I hope it doesn't come out offensive. It's not a thing here, but even if it was, the cost of gaz or electricity to boil broth for ten hours would only make it worth it if you had at least five liters of broth. It would be about the cost of a good rotisserie chicken, to give a reference. So now i’m wondering if energy is cheaper in the US , if you have special bone broth kitchen appliances that use less energy, or if it's something so incredible that it's worth the bill ?
I could imagine doing it on the wood stove..on a very cold day where we would keep it going all day long...

Bone tax , Pied beau the cockerel. I took a lot of pictures of him taking poses today !

That goes for me and my chooks as well.

Me too, unless they are babies.
