Granny's gone and done it again

Supposed to be 34° here in the morning and that should be the last morning temp below 40° for a few days. Looking at the long term not expecting more than 10 more below 40° temps until next December.This morning we ran the AC in the van. Green House effect.

When You have the time I would love it. I like cocoa far better than coffee. Need a hot beverage mornings during the winter and sometimes at night.

Have you ever tried Pero? It's barley based. That's my hot drink of choice, caffeine free. Roma is another good one and Postum also. Far less calories than cocoa, but very good with sugar free creamer.

I do! No ticks or chiggers!

I'm testing my OG hens because some need to go to freezer camp to make room for the next gen. I know if the pelvic bones are "three fingers" wide, they are laying, but if only one finger, they are not. But what do I do with one that is two fingers?

I've had Postum 70 Years ago. I just love my one cup a day of Cocoa. I'm steadily losing weight and not worried about my sugar free hot chocolate in the morning. The kid in me deserves a little treat. I've never heard of Pero and will look for it next time I'm in where I should find it.

2 fingers they may be heading for three and ready to crank them out or on their way to 1 and stopping all together. 2 fingers and a bright red comb I'd keep.

I like Postum. Haven’t had any in a while though.

By the coffee. To me, Postum is better..my taste buds.

I've been steadily losing weight by just eating less by using smaller plates and no seconds. I eat whatever I want to. I don't pass up a dessert if it is on the table and I want some. Rarely get a soda and drink a lot of tea sweetened with Splenda. Frequently have a fresh baked cake. I'm at my lowest weight in years. I try to walk around the farm here as much as I can without getting on the John Deere to get me from coop to coop. We eat a lot of greens and non starchy vegetables when available. Very little beef because of the ludicrous price.

That's great!

My wife gets a regular shipment of a deluxe whole bean coffee that our son got for her. I drink a cup a week maybe now that it is warmer. I'm just craving hot chocolate recently. If Twist posts his recipe tonight I may can get all the supplies tomorrow. We will be in a big city for us with places to get things. We have to go there for Pain Mgt and Pulmonary and Dermatologist. We get to hit Publix and Home Depot and Sam's when there too. I saw that picture of the Hershey box and remembered just how good the scratch made cakes and icing is. Will be using Splenda instead of sugar for the icing and in the cake.

Never heard of Postum.
