My hubby was making us girls an afternoon snack......mine was ham omelet on a corn tortilla with homemade salsa. He was using half duck eggs and half chicken eggs. The duck egg on the left was a double I always like seeing those. My mother in law bought the duck eggs for me. Sweet!

NICE!!

LOL yeah I bet it'd make for great muffins and usually muffin tops too LOL as I said on another thread the other day about our La-yer physiques generally involve a little extra poundage due to our eats. LOL I said the crawfish pies "ain't" so bad on us as the rice and gravies are (my friend calls gravy "gravity" and it likes to hang around right at your mid section/muffin top area) LOL "it sticks to your ribs"LOL as my Grandma used to say when I was a young boy about my oatmeal she coaxed me into eating instead of cornflakes or the like, LOL

Crawfish pie....yuuummmmmm!!

I've lived a lot of places growing up and Louisiana has some of the best food that I've ever eaten. Texas takes a second place.

Someone shared this tip with me and I wanted to share this with you all.

Tip: Drying Fruits And Vegetables In The Car

Summer's full bounty of fruits and vegetables is peaking and we can't eat everything fast enough. We've been canning and pickling so we can preserve these wonderful flavors and nutrients to enjoy in the winter months ahead. We're also drying.

Drying fruits and vegetables is incredibly easy. It can be done with a dehydrator which you can purchase from Amazon or other kitchen supply stores, but we lack the counter space for yet another appliance. Since it's summer and we've been having a lot of long, hot days, we've been utilizing solar power instead.

It's quite simple - slice up or quarter the fruit/veg you want to dry. Be sure to select items that are at peak ripeness. Spread them on a cookie or flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer - don't let anything touch each other - and place the sheet in the back window of your car if you can, or up on the dashboard under the windscreen. Of course, don't drive your car during this time. Let the sun work its magic. Depending on how hot it is where you live (this method works best in places with temps of 100 degrees Fahrenheit) this could take a day or two. Remember, you want to dry the food, not cook it, so check on it every so often and make sure it's not getting too hard.

When done, bring back inside and cool at room temperature, and then store in an air-tight container.

So, I have a ton of spent garden soil...beds were refreshed, all else is new...can I bed the chicken run with it? Riversilt is the base-raised for drainage and they free range dawn til dusk but a small run where water and food is kept open for them. It doubles as protection in storms, shade, predator lockdowns, but I figure take this 50 gallons of soil-spread out let them have at it and reuse next year?

There is some perilite still in the soil. But the regularly destroy and nest in flower beds with same soil...I guess I just wanna be safe for the girls too in case I'm missing a hidden no-no

The lady that drove from New Orleans to buy some of my peas sent me pics. I could cry they are so stinkin' cute !!!!!!!!!!! I am always worried who I sell my babies to, so I always follow up with them. When I saw these pics, I was relieved to see that they were in a loving home and that she does spend time with them. But then again, this is the person that brought a hot pink, studded carrying case lined with carpet and probably a heater installed in it to deliver them back. When I saw that, I knew that she would be a great owner.
