grannys gone and done it

Alright, I put all the burned food in a pan and brought it out.

Then Herkey, my barnyard mix, decided I wasn't moving quickly enough and jumped into the pan. And of course it was already heavy, then add an almost full grown pullet, and so...

And then they feasted. Thought the extra food would help them keep warm overnight.

too cute. dont you ever feed those gals? such a good looking flock. you would never know they had ever been sick. that cornbread was just a little browned. hahaa

still just the one baby but i took a look and 3 have internal pip or trying to anyway and one looks like a late death. maybe from when i put them in lock down. changed them over to a different incubator.

did i tell you guys i made a roast in the crock pot? put it on low and let it cook all night and half the day. it was one of those things that come with the potatoes, carrots onion. flavor packet. any way. I made tom a plate and as i am making mine he yells ouch ! theres a bone in it !! it was boneless I go and take a look and its not bone , its the meat itself.

I guess it stuck to the side of the pot and burned. and a potato too. my crock pot is ruined. been scrubbing it for 2 days now.

I've scorched some things pretty good in my crockpot too. Best way I've found to clean it when that happens is to fill it up with soapy water and "cook" on low all day.

Sorry the roast didn't turn out!

Sorry granny you sure have a rough time in the torture chamber, lol. I burned some mashed potatoes in mine at our family Christmas get together this year. Mashed potatoes added to crock, turned up on high to get them warmed up prior to us leaving. Forgot to turn it down when we got to my brothers house, but thank God I had a crock pot liner in it. Have you ever used them? Sure saved me a huge mess to clean up.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

thank you kat, I will try that when i get a new one.

mine kinda found its way to the garbage . LOL I have never seen or even heard of a crock pot liner, I have to look that up. sounds nice. my last one went as a heated water for the chickens 2 yrs. ago. this one went to the garbage. I hurt my wrist trying to scrub with the brillo. tell you what i dont understand, why am i so fat ! ??? for a girl that never gets to eat i sure am up there. I like to think its one of those big puffed bellys from starvation i am seeing but no, its fat. still just the one chick so far but i am hearing another. temp 3 wind chill -8. house is 64. might have something to do with it. LOL so, the eggs that came from MT., seramas he sent 8. they stayed in freezing temps for 3 days because of holiday, I see 2 spiders and one possible or blood ring. very early but i am amazed. he really took his time packing them and did a great job. he is member jessshan and he sent them for free including shipping. another member on here gave me the serama trio she is , well i have to go look for her name she uses on here. she is on the serama thread. something like jmcg ? from Louisville KY . and that was 150 miles round trip . I thought it was 125 but i looked wrong. Candy, chickens, eggs. I am a little overwhelmed at the kindness . never had anything give to me before and people on here just open their hearts . I said this when i first joined this site, said when i reached 1000 posts and will say it again. When i joined BYC it felt like i had come home. It still is true today.

9* here this morning - 14* right now. Something knocked the square of plywood off of the access hole to under the house. So my pipes are frozen this morning. Got home from work late last night and forgot to fill up my water jugs. So I had to take the water from the Brita pitcher to the coop to water the chickens. Only one pen so they will be OK until I get back from the air port.

54* in here, so while I was typing this my coffee got cold! Gonna be a good day!
