Yay SC!

Taking a short break--need to clean up after this

6 pints of seedless blackberry jam. I learned that an electric juicer is awesome for deseeding--just feed the seeds and pulp back through a few times.

I think that pic is the cleanest part of my kitchen right now :lol

Then I'm going to use my pressure canner for the first time--the green beans are starting to mount up.

Did I tell you I bought some Americanas?  (LOL)

So at the poultry swap - which was huge - I finally found some chicks about 3 weeks old.  I ask the lady "what kind are they"?
Ameraucana
Really?
Yes.
They have barred wings?
Yes, they have some marins in them.
You mean Marans?
No marins, the cuckoo kind. But they are Ameraucana.
OK.

For $5 each I wasn't going to argue or attempt educating.  They still have their chipmunk stripes on their backs, willow legs and barring on the wing feathers.Pea comb, so I guess there is hope for greenish eggs.

Cuckoo Muraucanas. Awesome!!!

Breed them to a black copper marins, then breed those offspring to a golden campine and you will get a black concubine

Nothing to forgive! I'd be downing some amazing Apple Pie if I were you!
