MJ's little flock

It is very hard to find a good one. This actually a family recipe that my aunt taught me. No one else ever wanted to learn it.

They're often the best recipes.

That is good news!

I was extremely relieved! But just in case, I cleaned out the coops and sprayed with coopex. There's no harm in a fresh coop. Although Mary begs to differ.

 

[MaryJanet]

Well, I would join in just because you asked but I rarely have breakfast as such. And never such nice ones as yours.

You do have very nice dinner photos every now and then

Yes, I haven't done one for a while. Since the man's been sick we've reverted to having mostly fruit.

I'm glad someone in the family is keeping the recipe going. Maybe one day someone will ask you for the recipe and you can write it down as Aunt Sally's Chowder (or whatever her name is).

Aunt Julie's Chowder. She cooked the old fashioned way, with real fats.

I hope someday one of my daughters will ask for it. I have a number of recipes like that but I wrote them all down already. My grandmother's legendary rice pudding for example. She made it without measuring. I watched her make it once and measured everything before she put it in the mix. I'm also the only one with that one. I have them written in a recipe book and scanned to my computer. Just in case.

Trying to put back some of the weight & muscle he lost. Hoping the new mattress will help. That should arrive Wednesday.

It started off with me sharing the joy of eating the hen's eggs one day. Folks were interested in the tea and teacups. So for a few months I did photos of weekend breakfasts with a different teacup each time until the whole collection had been shared. Then I stopped but folks wanted more, so I've kept going. I tried encouraging others to share their breakfasts but it didn't catch on very well, although Bob has shared a couple of delightful shots of Mrs ByBob using her teacups, which I was grateful for because that was when I understood the appeal of my breakfasts. So i try to continue on but sometimes I forget. I'm still super-keen to see other people's breakfasts though if they're not too shy about their kitchen tables.

I’ll keep this in mind! For me, thpugh, it’s often just a big mug of coffee with oat milk and sugar.

The story of the teacups is that i appreciate the craftsmanship and the prettiness, so years ago i started collecting and learning about them.

My grand mother used ti collect them. I have a small collection stored awwy. I should get them out, but DH or DD would SURELY break at least one.
