What we call Johnny cake is sort of a sweet cornbread.

But my Grandpa use to call anything made of cornmeal eaten for breakfast Johnny cake.

I think what we had today was Johnny Bread..

Aw, hale no! You can’t claim that recipe for your Johnny cake. You are from the north, not from the Caribbean!

Not mine, but it is closest I could find.

We use whole milk.. real butter and salt.

Just tell us HillBilly, is your DW gonna get to “pop you in the a$$?”

Dang! I have to resort to one of @duluthralphie 's icons now:

Neither do i get my injections into the part of my body i sit on, nor will my Wifie be allowed to poke me! I saw the treacherous twinkle in her eyes when she showed me the syringes ...
Those syringes can suck up a gallon of liquid and those needles are for blue-whales!
I have a severe case of belonephobia!

Want me to give you the injections? I have always wanted to shoot a person, instead of just animals..

Maybe healthier, but is it as much fun?

Of course nothing beats a good old Frisian style Grog in warming you up, but sometimes i have to drive in the evenings and the local sheriff doesn't like when i sing shanty's on I79…

Here are the pics from our first field trip...an outing in the back yard...where the wild things are!

(I selected 26 from the myriad of pics I took, but I’ll spare y’all all of them. Except Ralphie! I’m gonna make him look at every single duck picture I take!)

This is little Twinkle, the puny one. She looks so good.

The ducklings’ reaction to a bunch of chickens that had gathered to look at the ‘oddballs.’

Another picture of Twinkle drinking. At least she no longer falls over while getting a sip!

Meet Latte, the Fawn & White Runner. Because of the darker coloring on her face, once she got wet she reminded me of Groucho Marx. Oh those eyebrows! (More of her later.)

Silly Latte/Groucho!

Hershey, the Chocolate Runner. Dark Chocolate Feet!

Little Twinkle. Tiny but mighty!

A reaction to the Mockingbird flying over!

All the sistas!

It’s just Petey, the White Layer, telling me it was time to eat again!

Hershey just relaxing and showing a little leg!

Meet Peaches, my Buff Orpington duck! Who knew there were chickens and ducks with the same breed name.

Hershey saying, “Whaaattttt?”

Little Quinny, the Welsh Harlequin, in the front.

My sidekick with the ducklings (from L to R):
Petey - White Layer
Peaches - Buff Orpington
Latte/Groucho - Fawn & White Runner
Hershey - Chocolate Runner
Twinkle - Saxony
Quinny - Welsh Harlequin

On the next field trip I will have to get more cute pictures of Peaches and Quinny. I feel like I dissed them by not getting more of them. No worries! I will, duckies, I will!

I hope y’all didn’t yawn more than twice looking at my babies!
