If you have trouble making dumplings, you can also use flour tortillias. Just cut them into 2 by 4 ish sizes, and put them in just as you would regular dumplings. You can't tell the difference once they are cooked!!

Good Morning Everyone!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your turkey ideas!! RF - I am going to have to find a way to make that dairy-free because it just sounds GOOD!! Moore - I cannot believe I didn't think of substituting turkey for chicken salad!! What a great idea....see I knew my BYC'ers would come through for me!! HT - You have inspired me...I have NEVER made dumplings before, so now I just might have to try!! Maybe I will take wild's idea and add some dumplings to it, just in case I fail at dumplings...I hear they can be hard to make!!

Today is my baking day!! Made a huge pot roast last night with a home-made cherry pie - DH's favorite pie!! I abhor making pie because I always fail at the crust.

Give me a cake or cookie or pastry recipe/task instead and I would gladly switch!! At least dinner for tonight is set for DH so I can focus on my Processing Day treats!! I am thinking Scottish Whipped Shortbread cookies and some classic chocolate chip cookies with just perhaps...if I have enough chocolate left over to make some no bake cookies (yum!!) Lots to do to get ready for tomorrow and DD is ALREADY up...booo!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!! Thank you again!!

They aren't too complicated. Shoot I made one a few weeks ago cheap, and it is holding great temps, it does take some checking and tweaking to get it just right before you put eggs in and you got to turn it down a tad for lockdown, but otherwise is very simple. I am getting a digital thermostat to make another incubator, this one should be super simple like a house thermostat. hehe

I made my 1st homemade incubator out of a 10 gallon fish tank.
It's all down hill from there.......

Good Morning everyone!! Well...today is the day. Today we find out if I am able to graduate into true farm girl mode, or if I will forever be stuck in city girl wanna be country girl mode!!

That's right...today is PROCESSING DAY!! Keep your fingers crossed that I am able to do it...at least one other time to show the DH how it's done!! LOL.
NO NO NO Incubator for me!! I would definitely be over run with chickens, turkeys, emus and anything else I could get my hands on and stick in there...alligator anyone?!? SEE...it's dangerous for me!! I leave all my hatching to others and will kindly support them in their hatching endeavors and take any extras off their hands!!

Otherwise, I might end up with a worse case than BHep...and we all know how bad THAT case is!! hehe...

Off to make sure everything is ready for later on this morning!! Have a great day everyone!!

Im in goldsboro/Dudley NC. Active Duty Air Force, I just hooked up my incubator, its an old jamesway 2940 incubator, it can hatch 2500- 2900 eggs, so if you need any hatched bring them my way, and we will split them
