***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[johnorem]

For those of you with an abundance of produce here is a summer favorite of ours. Persian Salad. Cucumbers, remove seeds, dice with skin on. Equal volume of tomatoes, remove seeds and core, dice with skin on. About half the time I will add some diced onion, really like onions. Dressing: Lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, chopped mint, dried or fresh, salt and pepper to taste. I am generous with the lemon juice. Dried mint can be hard to find but Whole Foods has it. I was well into dinner prep this evening when I discovered I was out of mint so I used some mint chutney, it is in the ballpark and still refreshing.

The chickens got the cucumber and tomato scraps as a cool afternoon treat.

ooo... good idea! going on the to do list there's only one vet I know of near the city that handles reptiles and I heard he retired, so I was wondering where I'd start trying to find another one. Thanks! Wouldn't have thought of that!

Nanakat - If I can find the article on the corn I'll post it too. Really interesting read.

I used to keep all sorts of exotic frogs and I used Dr. Henderson at the Britton Rd Vet. It's in OKC, but he is amazing. I know it's weird, but he saved a couple of my frogs and one of my lizards. He was referred to me by several vets that treat reptiles but didn't know what to do with my frogs. I live in Noble now. When the day comes that I get exotics again, I will go back to him. Don't know if that helps at all.

Oh! I got eggs again today! I haven't seen eggs out of my Dominiques in over a month. I was starting to wonder if it was all the snakes, or if they had started eating their eggs. But first whole day in the new coop, and I got EGGS!

That sounds yummy. Wonder if it would be good with some kalamata olives sliced up in it?

Came home with this beauty today. Miss Monroe. Of course the guy told me he "thinks" it's a she. If it crows to bring it back but that won't happen. I don't know compared to Bonnie and Clyde I think it's a girl. I could be wrong. I can't seem to upload pics today...

I make a couple of things w/ dried mint too, If you go to the tea section and get "mint medly" it is important to get that one it has no tea only 3 or 4 diff. types of mint leaves. Way easier and less expensive then dried mint in the herb section (when you can even find it)
