Beaner Babies!!!

I was hoping for Beaner Bunny Babies but alas, I will accept chicks instead.

Random thoughts: So a BYCer came over yesterday to help me weed my garden. Then we went to look at my plutheria of broodies. I pulled the top of the nesting box up (which makes the hens just below face-height) and Daphne got all big and hissed at her.

Then she was all: "WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST???!!! I didn't know you actually OWNED the chicken in your avatar! SHe's friggityfracking scary!"***


***edited for the faint of heart. Because that is NOT what she said.

By the way, did you see my plea above for a recipe?

HAHAHA that's probably what you would have gotten had I dressed your kid. Although I'm slightly more into hygiene so the kid would at least (probably) be cleaner.

I remember the first time I changed my niece's diaper... my sister later informed me (in a very disapproving voice) that the animals go in the FRONT.

Wait... how do I get on this service? I hate hate hate weeding. Weeding and weed whacking are in the same column for me: stuff I know I *should* do but luckily I live at the almost end of a dead end dirt road so I feel I get a pass. The only people who see that I haven't done these things are random people I don't care about like the meter reader (who always leaves me a snotty note in winter asking me to please shovel him a path to the meter (yeah after I've snow blowed and shoveled for hours I'm thinking about YOU)) and the religious people my dad is always sending to talk to me (he's worried about my soul). And if they care that I grow weeds that can be in excess of 4 feet tall... well at least that gives us something to talk about, doesn't it? I do at least, want to go on record of stating I do mow the lawn. Most of it. Promptly every 3 weeks... sometimes I let the woody part by my driveway go 8 or so weeks...

Barred Rock? Really? I cant imagine my BR's sitting on eggs. Mine are such spazzes. Such attitude! I walk in to check for eggs and the same hen every time, pecks me real hard on the knee or butt. You laugh, but it really hurts. That is the only time I feel the desire to drop kick a chicken. I just curse at her instead.

I hate the barred rocks I will never get them again. Both are nasty biters and then look at you like whaaaat when they bite

I agree. My BR was not a nice girl and a bad influence. Always pecking my feet and biting fingers when I was handing out raising. She has a new home now.

I went to the feed store mainly to let them know I wasn't looking for chicks any more but thanks for callin. Soooooo many cute balls of fluff. I held out......for now. The DH was no help. " Oh but look at that one she's so cute! or that one there" So much for being the rock.

Well that is the one thing he did do right was to put the diaper on the correct way....granted it was full when I got home. He came running up to me when I got home. "Thank God you are home Mama, pleeeeease clean me up?"

I have been keeping up with weeding so far this year. YAY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT!!



Ok- So I did see your recipe request, and I did write it out, but I must not have posted it here.....




The recipe I used yesterday
http://thehenway.com/2010/12/22/bready-perfection/

Inserting swirly goodness, only with cocoa powder and a litte bit of sugar instead of cinnamon:

(rather than rolling it out and cutting it up, I just press it into a rough rectangle, put on the cocoa, and roll it up.

The bread enhancer:
