Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Sadly, Pip continues to lay/drop from the roost soft/no-shell eggs.

I was going to stop the calcium citrate after today, but think I better not. I think I'll switch to calcium carbonate today, though. I hope the different form will help her.

Awwwww crunchy evil white stuff!

They are such gorgeous creatures aren’t they

Hazel got up there by horizontal low-flying over a bunch of snow. But then she had to decide how to proceed!

Are you on the path of totality? Do you have your goggles? They need to be a specific rating, i bought these:

Most I'll have is a partial solar eclipse. Oh well. It is what it is. It's great that you're in the path of totality though!

Thanks for the ideas. I think my decorating skills might stretch to something like that. I will share pics of what I eventually do. Now have to turn my mind to baking lemon curd tart for Easter. It uses a mind-blowing number of eggs in the lemon curd!

Sounds fantastic! Care to share the recipe?

Carabiner: thinking maybe eyeball (autocorrect to that ... twice: E-y-e-b-o-l-t) or some sort of other attachment to the 2x2, chain around what it's connecting to, carabiner to clip back to self. Cam be adjusted for greater/lesser tension by moving where carabiner on end clips back to or completely removed by unblinking (u-n-c-l-i-p-p-i-n-g) for a quick release if you need it down NOW.

Ah, chain around the attachment and looping back to connect to itself, and it's adjustable. Great idea, thank you! Autocorrect is such a modern pain, isn't it?

It is based on this recipe from the NYT cooking app. Let me know if it is behind a paywall and I will cut and paste.
Mine differs in the following ways:
- I have never seen a Meyer lemon so I use regular lemons and switch 1-2 out for an orange instead. Sometimes I just use regular lemons throughout - it is plenty sweet enough.
- I don’t use their pie crust recipe - I put it in a Graham cracker crust which goes really well with it.

It is unbelievably indulgent!

I think @notabitail 's next idea is better - dark frosting in a large circle covering most of the cake (the cake has to be round, we are all agreeing?) with a narrow ring of light frosting around that, and then down the sides, for everywhere not in totality...

I would have loved this recipe but the site wants intrusive data
