I can’t find a picture I was looking for. I tried finding it online, and one thing led to another. Look up “chicken coffee meme”.

You posted your recipe for your fine French bread about beginning of February. I forwarded it to my BIL . He is the one that went thru 200 lbs of flour without making a single successful loaf.
He was over for Easter Sunday, and guess what,,,,,,, He followed your recipe to a T and made his FIRST SUCCESSFUL LOAF. He was thanking me for the recipe. I told him I would inform my BYC friend that recipe was a success.

I have fallen so behind on the Yum thread! I forgot how busy hatch season keeps me. And now the messy ducks. Easter we had house guests + clean up.. So I have lapsed on the yummie time. I have been breifly lurking though. Thanks for hanging out and waiting for me.. I'm back!
geeze mike, this is re notable.. you could post this every day if you like. I would never grow tired drooling over it.

How was it?

yesterday I started a cure on 3 hams and 2 slabs of bacon. next week will be a major smoking event. We are gifting 2 of the ham and freezing the 3rd.. bacon all mine!!!!!! STAY AWAY! View attachment 1322831 I WILL DEFEND THEM! The barn refer is full of meat curing and my eggs are in record numbers right now. It is a tight squeeze.

I hope your package from the contest made it htere by now. You are only up the road from me.

I totally relate. I'm running multiple incubators and answering a phone that won't stop ringing. I haven't had time to breathe.

Your reply to DD's drama.. BF probs.. to be young.. and not a care in the world except when you have an argument w/BF.. lol. the world came to an end that day! But someone pushed the reboot button and the next day the world started back up again..

My Daughter raised pigs and chickens as pets for 4-H and FFA.. Now she can't conceive the thought of raising something and eating it. Post Traumatic Stress.
There are a lot of people in this world who prefer to go to the supermarket and buy something that your are actually blind to the upbringing of the product.
Most chickens in supermarkets had a crappy life. Born in production and lived in cramped quarters. Our birds got to live in the sunshine, breathe fresh air and lived the good life before the ran out of time. But the time they had, was high quality of life. And I thank them for their sacrifice.
Same with our pork. They had quality of life. Were taken care of and never abused. Respected.

I have Brussels seedlings sprouting right now!

"These are just a few of my favorite things".. sing it with me!

DOH!

Yesterday was an all time record for us.. I collected 189 eggs! OMG
We have been selling them to that guy and he slaps his label on the cartons and sells them to little markets around Hawthorne, Newberry, Middleburg.
He comes once a week and buys the balance my regulars don't buy. I have taken my ads off of craigslist for eggs. With 10 loyal regulars and the distributor guy, I don't need to solicit new customers. Now that the frige is full of curing ham, I'm starting to have storage issues.

I made bands for my favorite loyal customers and gave them each 6 banded eggs in tiny dollar store baskets. w/a few chocolate eggs...

Belated HAPPY EASTER!

Caveman say he like.. I say me like too.

That's the same as getting up on the wrong side of the bed!

No one would come around me or even want to be in the same zipcode as me.

And growing weables!

DH's Chef coats are deep black. Jokesters would flour their hand a place them on someone's back or even worse, a middle finger hand print. Children I tell ya.

We make ours with butterblend & flour for light roux, oil and flour for dark.

That is easy to do if you fall asleep while boiling water..

Easter dinner was very enjoyable. The complete Caveman Clan was over. Also celebrated 3 B-days at same sitting. Considered getting 4 birds with one stone. The B-days were not on that day, but since close dates, we just mainlined it. .
DW goes overboard with making Great Food, and the variety is like a
"All You Can EAT Buffet" There were items I had no room in tummy for once I started eating. Let me see If can list what I remember.
2 Turkeys baked. 1 LARGE HAM. Potatoes, gravy. Brussel Sprouts. Zucchini boats. Stuffed Mushroom heads. String Beans. Sweet potatoes. Beet soup. Mini mushroom dumplings. Boiled eggs for soup and else. Smoked sausage, (non garlic for pleasant eating) Kale mix salad. Rolls and butter. Potato,fruit,egg,salad. Fruit platter with watermelon, grapes, strawberries , blueberries. Whole cranberries in sauce. Fresh veggies (cauliflower, carrots, celery, broccoli, etc) with Spinach/Artichoke/Parmesan dip. Assorted chips with salsa.
Sweet side,,,,,,, 3 cakes, One cheesecake variety collection, One Ice-cream cake. One Yellow cake frosted with Home frosting in shape of Large Cup Cake. I may be forgetting some other things now.
Family members brought enough House Warming Wine to take a small bath in.
My first plate,,,,,,
