Good heavens! I'm gone for three hours -- THREE hours! -- and there's 40 new posts to catch up on!

Just pulled the turkey out of the oven and now gonna go catch up on posts!

Has anyone else ever noticed Sahwithchicks always has the prettiest nail polish on in her pictures and it's always chipped?

(I'm pickin' on you, Sah -- only time I ever even manage to have fingernails is when I can afford fakes!)

Fingernail polish is one of the girly things I like, but I refuse to pay someone to do it. Soooo, it literally only lasts like an hour before it starts to chip off!

I have a worming question. I want to worm my girls with Safeguard. Can I put the dose on a piece of bread it feed it to individual birds??? It's a liquid so the bread would soak it up.

That reminds me

Chocolate Bacon Baklava


Ingredients:

1 pounds sliced lean bacon
2 cups whole blanched almonds, hazelnuts, and pistacios, coarsely chopped and toasted
2 cups mini-chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract (I have seen recipes with bourbon, but have not made it that way... yet - sounds yummy!)
½ of a 16-ounce box of phyllo dough
10 tablespoons (1 ¼ sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1lb. jar good local wildflower honey (the quality of the honey can make or break this dish - use a good, flavorful honey)
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In skillet, fry bacon in batches until crisp. Drain well and crumble. In food processor, finely chop the bacon with the nuts. Transfer to a bowl and mix in chocolate chips and vanilla extract.
Brush a 13-by-9-inch glass baking pan with melted butter.
Lay a sheet of phyllo in the pan; trim edges to fit and brush with butter. Repeat with 4 more phyllo sheets and butter. Spread about 1/3 of the bacon-almond-chocolate-chip filling evenly over phyllo. Repeat this layering of 5 phyllo sheets and bacon filling two more times. Top with 5 buttered phyllo sheets, buttering the top well. With a small, sharp knife, cut baklava into 1-½-inch diamonds.
Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake about 1 hour longer, until nicely browned. (Check after 45 minutes to avoid overbrowning.)
Meanwhile, in small saucepan, warm the honey to pouring consistency, but do not boil. Pour warm honey over hot baklava. Store in refrigerator.

Just to let you all know, cluckitail makes one heck of a Snickers Cheesecake!

Oh yay! I'm so glad it made it safely! Susan's got really melted, sadly -- why is it the one week in January I decide to mail cheesecake, it decided to be warm???

And yeah, with the candy ones I'm from the Jelly Belly school of cheesecake-making: exactly how much like a Snickers bar can you make a cheesecake taste?

So can I do Safeguard the first time and the second time. Or is it better to use Wazine first then Safeguard? how long do I wait in between wormings?

If I can prove that I can pay for chicken food by selling eggs and chicks or actually turn a (very) small profit, I think I could get my husband on board a little more and I would get Orps. After I sold some chicks today and with my Dutch laying now, he actually is not complaining about the chickens. Which he does like a twice daily medication. Anti chicken med.

Yeah, it's amazing how much their attitude improves once it's not costing them money!
