The Enchilada pie wasn't bad either.

Do you make your own sauce?

I do feel like someone slipped me a Mickey. l wonder what a Mickey really was. The screenwriters got a lot of mileage out of that scene over the years.

Do you make your own sauce?

Not yet. Hoping to can 48 pints come summer. Never have before and will need to test some recipes before doing a bunch. It's a dish we need a pint of sauce a week for.

We have a new Aldi store 25 or so miles away that we will visit one a month now that the grand opening crowd is over with. We still will try and can it to use up homegrown tomatoes. The more staples we grow and preserve (nice name for process) the lower our food costs. We buy very little beef now and no poultry. We have plenty of poultry that is at our disposal. We get good prices on lean and machine tenderized pork steaks. We watch for the buy one get one frees sales on link kielbasa and smoked sausage. Basically goes making the old saying a penny saved it a penny earned.... Stinking inflation needs to go away.

I have had a lot of them lower thingys. I always wake up! They normally remove polyps on me too. Colon cancer runs in the family.

Larry, how many chicks did you get out of the thanksgiving littles?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I just had my dessert tonight. Apples fried in butter loaded with cinnamon.

My mom would use canned biscuits and roll them flat then fill with fried apples then fry them and I would make the icing. Oh so good..

Larry, how many chicks did you get out of the thanksgiving littles?

About 2 dozen have thrived and survived. Mostly the Dark Cornish. Glad I got some Bresse to survive too. Only 2 white giant chicks survived. I think there were 3 that hatch and one died hatching.

 

[Nomadicus]

My Bresse, Dark Cornish, and White Giant coops are in a set side by side. I'm installing lights in them tomorrow if rain allows. I need to see if I can get them to laying so I can have a major hatch by mid January. Thee will be sale chicks and maybe keep 4-6 pullets of each breed. The Delaware and RIR coops are being trimmed way down. Only keeping 8-10 hens of each. We hopefully are adding Golden Polish and Tolbunt Polish in the Spring. Not many but a rooster and a backup rooster of each and 8-10 pullets of each.
