Definitely get some rest. I'm sure you had a terribly rough day.... and sleep whenever MD sleeps! :D

It was kinda nice today (once I got over being HANGRY). My MIL and DH watched the milk drinker while I slept. An hour and a half after I woke up the milk drinker was down for his nap and I had free time to go talk to my parents, candle eggs, move my bone broth process forward, and make dinner without the MD getting in the way or howling for me. I'll probably be taking naps when MD does (or whenever I need to nap, DH can take over) over the next few days though.
 
Just got in from the workshop. It is 32 out there. I made the last door, tacked hardware cloth on it. I need to do the same to the last divider. I cut and painted the pieces i needed. So tomorrow i paint the legs and finish up. The bunnies are going to love it! I cut the three biggest bunnies toenails today and made a warm up box for the lionhead doe.

Wouldn't that make it the "rabbit shed" then?
Will the goats like having roommates?

I am putting the rabbits on one side, where the hay will go. The goats get the other side. But i never had my goats complain about anything except having dinner late!:lau

Like the powered pepper spice? Does that really help them keep warm? How much do you use? I feel bad that my poor chickens are stuck in that cold coop... I gave them cauliflower & apples last night, they were all excited about it.[/QUOTE]
1/4 teaspoon per chicken is the recommend dose

So, I got the DH hooked on those power bowls that Evol and Amy's and them make (frozen entrees), but he's kinda fell in LURVE with the mushroom risotto one(s). I told him I could make him a risotto WAY cheaper, and with more ingredients (thinking peas).

So, good risotto recipe gang! (wiggles eyebrows at RJ)

6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 shallots, diced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
sea salt to taste
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves of garlic


warm the broth over low heat with the three cloves of garlic

warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, somewhere around 15 to 20 minutes I go right at 22 minutes


Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.


I sometimes add spinach or broccoli

This was how my grandmother made it

Could this be mixed into their feed while it's fermenting?

We have to run to TSC tomorrow and pick up 3 bags of starter/grower feed. We're gonna put everyone on it since the Nuggets are in the run with the FlufferButters and the Littles. Yeeesh, I REALLY don't need any more flocks!! :gig

OH, DH and I candled the 27 in the bator. We saw 11 that we could DEFINITELY tell had a chickeneye and veins, 1 was cracked ( :smack I did NOT hit her, I DID NAWT!!! Oh HI Mark!) so we tossed it out, and the others are question marks for now... some because they were too difficult to see in to. Others... well, just not sure.

:lau I saw this one on Allrecipes. I'm combining it with the one by the food p*rn lady, Giada de Laurentis. Ha!! We're gonna leave out 1lb of mushrooms and add in 1 cup of peas. I wonder how much there will be once it's all put together.

My Alpha Husband jumped up, pulled that belt off and used amazing restraint! I would have used that belt, but he didn’t. Got in his face though.
It has to be hormones! If not, he needs therapy. This isn’t my child!

My sil has no children and just got married last summer at age 48.
She has given her advice on everything having to do with marriage and child rearing for as long as I've known her.
After 4 grown kids I'm offering actual advice.

If "you suck!" is the worst thing your kid ever says to you, you can consider yourself to be blessed beyond measure.
I'm not kidding.
BLESSED.

LIKE ANGELS SINGING IN THE CLOUDS WITH SHIMMERING GOLDEN HARPS, BLESSED.

The hardest part of fighting with a teenager is not blowing up and saying things that YOU can never take back when they start hurling their angry words.

Those words they hurl at us,
Damn they hurt!
Gosh they are disobedient and disrespectful.
Yup.
But we are the grown ups. They'll never figure out how to solve problems that way. We have to model self control for them.

Put the belt away or by the time he grows up, he'll be so full of resentment that he'll move as far away as he can and you'll miss out on being a part of his life.

It's hormones.
He can't help it.
He's still in there.
It's just that the next several years might be on and off rough because he is going to flip flop like crazy.
He wants to be your boy, but he wants to be a big guy too. And there will be challenges to authority,
Just like the young cockerels you guys all talk about on these threads challenging the grown up Roos.
It's just nature.

Men always talk trash about women and their cycles.
Guess what?
Men cycle too.
Just differently.
Also nature.

Hormones are a normal part of kids development and Ooh! OUCH! JEEZAWIZ, it isn't pretty.

Unless he's torturing animals, hurting himself, setting fires, or stealing the car,
count to 1000 then talk it out.
Ten is definitely not enough.
Nor is 100.
Sometimes a thousand hardly begins to cover it.

Just lock yourself in your room and come here and tell us what a little butt he's being and we'll cheer you up.
Because that's what friends are for. :hugs


I'm sharing this from a place of experience and love.
