I posted it on the last page.

3 puppies total. Mamma healthy and happy.

2 males, 1 female.

1 male is deformed. No tail and left hind leg is malformed. We'll see if it makes it... We are constantly putting it on to suckle in hopes that will help. If it doesn't we'll let nature take it's course.

I have a craving for hot and sour soup. Think I might make it tomorrow, but we'll see. I need my grand daughter Khamaria here for it. She likes to help because it's her favorite soup. I told Kayla we can make won tons, the suffed kind and and some type of noodles. Now she says she wants lumpia. If she could roll tight enough, that would be one thing. OK to have sloppy wontons to a point, but anything rolls can end u being a mess. Maybe I'll just toss something in the crockpot. LOL

Good news on the pups Mahonri. BTW I hope you got that tooth taken care of. I know I teased you, but I really was concerned. I've been there and even have a molar I broke off months ago that's killing me. I really do hope you're feeling ok.

Razadia you should listen to your dad! BTW you can make hatching cages from just about anything. I have no idea where mine are right now, but I made them out of hardware cloth. You can use $1 store items to ut together to make them too. Get creative and put some more eggs in there! LOL

Ha ha! Well I pretty much use what I have on hand but tonight it was polish sausage, sliced in thin rounds and then browned (for flavor since it's already cooked when you buy it), baby Brussels sprouts cut it half (I used an 18 oz bag and steamed them first to make slicing them easier), diced potatoes (about 2 1/2 cups), 2 cans sweet corn, 2 cans of black beans, 2 cans of seasoned black eyed peas (Glory brand), and 2 cans of butter beans. You can substitute just about any kind of beans for these and if you don't like Brussels sprouts then use green beans or celery or any other veggie that will not turn to mush (I tried artichoke hearts once but the flavor isn't quite right for this). Add 2 cans of water and 32ozs of chicken broth to pot.

For spices I add garlic (about 3 tablespoons but we love garlic), 1 cup of thin sliced leeks (onions are OK too), a hefty dose of oregano (fill my cupped palm at least half way and crush by rubbing hands together when adding to soup), about 1 tablespoon of dried (basil fresh is stronger so use to taste if using fresh) about 1/4 cup of parsley (fresh Italian parsley, chopped, is the best but dry works too). I also use about a 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and onion powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Easy on the salt at first since the canned beans often have salt added.

Sometimes I use Italian sausage instead (brown well first) deglazing the pan either way to get all that great flavor from the pan. The cans of corn and beans were all 15oz cans. You can use dried beans also, of course, and this is how I used to always do it but it is so much faster this way!

I hope I got that right. If something doesn't make sense give me a holler. My DH never liked Brussels sprouts or beans til he tried this soup. Now he loves it and asks for it all the time (especially when it's cold out).

I read lumpia and started drooling. I love it! Hadn't had any in a while though. I'll have to go see my friends' grandmother close to a holiday.

I would do it, but..... never mind. All arguments of mine are invalid and I shall go add the rest of the eggs now!

My dad thinks I should just put all 10 eggs I collected today in the bator, but the problem is that if the hatch red I won't know who hatched from what. So I'm only going to set the 2 eggs I think came from my BA.

Some people use suet cages, if you don't know what they are Google it. You put the eggs in the cage I side the bator and the newly hatched chicks are contained until you can ID them. My grama used to have several of these little cages, ask around I bet you know someone who has one or something similar. Good luck

I love how a post I meant to make disappears into thin air while another post shows up twice.
