I will have to give this a try.

Am I the only person who hasn't heard of "cooler corn"?
As an obsessive food nerd, you'd expect that I would have at least heard of it, but over the weekend I was blind-sided by the simple genius of this method for cooking loads of corn on the cob perfectly.
I was hepped to it while visiting my family. Short story: We like corn on the cob. And with eight adults at the table, that means a couple of dozen ears. We would have used the lobster pot to cook them all, but the lobster pot was busy steaming lobster. "Let's do cooler corn!" Before I can ask "what the hell is cooler corn?" a Coleman cooler appears from the garage, is wiped clean, then filled with the shucked ears. Next, two kettles-full of boiling water are poured over the corn and the top closed.
Then nothing. When we sat down to dinner 30 minutes later and opened it, the corn was perfectly cooked. My mind was blown. And I'm told that the corn will remain at the perfect level of doneness for a couple of hours.
Turns out, Cooler Corn is pretty well known among the outdoorsy set But for those of us who avoid tents as much as possible, it's perfect for large barbecues and way less of mess than grilling. In fact, I may even buy another cooler just so I'm ready for next summer. Now that I'm in the know.

You would think that us in the South would know this... but I never heard of it either! I like the idea, a lot less mess too!

Orp rooster, living in the horse trailer, but he will get some time tomorrow morning to peck around in the run. Such a pretty boy!


I tried to take pics of the other chicks as well but the battery died on my camera! I will get some tomorrow.

The sheep trying to figure out why the chickens got fed first!



Getting out of the rain. We put a tarp over part of the run as well. Of course by the time we finished it stopped raining and the sun came out!


Went to a friends to do some duck herding and found these:




Somehow we still managed to get a little herding in.

That Orp is GORGEOUS! And I love the picture of the poor sheep looking on longingly for the chicken feed.

Does anyone have a picture of what a turken naked neck egg looks like? I found an egg today, pullet egg and I'm trying to figure out if it's one of the NN's or one of my White Bresse girls. I'm thinking Bresse. It's a very light color.
