And lets face it  you just can't beat the flavor of an old hen when it comes to making stock or chicken and dumplings. 

I think it's more honest and maybe even caring to give your birds the best care you can and then when they are past it  to use them to nourish family and friends  rather then to just waste the animal by throwing or burying it    At least farm type animals.   NOT dogs or cats.    Also more humane then just letting then die of old age and the pain and decline that old birds go thru.

I agree, but I guess some people are just to close minded to understand this.

There were 7 of us last night for dinner and I started with 10 # of taters before adding the HOT cream and butter when mashing them, And I ended up with less then 8 cups of left overs

Not many meatballs either, lots of jello salad and desert but that is good.

I always plan on extra taters as I like them warmed up in the micro with ranch dressing, or save and use as a thickener when making a hearty soup like tater or split pea and ham.

yummy for the most part the only sounds at the table were people asking for seconds and thirds, and the clatter of silverware.

Conversation was pretty much non-existant

Eating is far more important than chatting

Anyway, that's how choking accidents happen lol.

The dogs were sad as they do NOT get to lick my china way to expensive to take a chance!!! and there were no real partially full plates So they each got a small spoon full of green bean casserole.

The desert was a hit as well of course we had to wait until all the dishes were done and gift's were opened as they were to full at first.
