For a special treat at our neighborhood party we made deviled quail eggs. Delish & a huge hit

We did that with Mallard eggs at Christmas. Everyone said that those were the best deviled eggs they had ever eaten. The small quail eggs are neat.

That is so COOL!
You are the koffee king!

Thanks!

Tonight I will make some espresso in my Moka pot with those African coffee beans.

I did just set those quail eggs two days ago, but you could always ask me to set some more.

Alaskan,

I am setting eggs on the 18th. Would you please hatch along with me? (Slight arm twist)

Sure thing! Though....uh, if you are setting chicken eggs on the 18th, I should put the quail eggs in on the 21st??? So, your hatch date is... Whenish? I will figure it out and make a thread!!


Ron, totally over your coffee setup


Sourman, you mean you don't drink your coffee black? It is not good to dilute the yummy caffeine!

Evening everyone!!! Storms gone and we're still here! While I was out on the porch watching the hail, I turned my head and there was a lone little hummingbird not more than a foot away, sitting atop my feedbin seeking shelter from the storm. It tried flying away too soon only to scoot right back to it's perch where it stayed til the hail stopped, then with a little squeak like "see ya!" and it was gone. Bit of damage from hail but nothing the crops can't recover from. My poor Swiss Chard looks more like Swiss Cheese but the girls don't mind the holes at all. Yum. Got into the high 60's today with a good breeze and it was heaven!!! a wonderful cool evening on the porch watching the chooks enjoying themselves chasing grasshoppers. Low 50's/high 40's tonight. Great sleeping weather. Have a blessed evening everyone!!!

Love that God is in charge of the birds, He gives us those moments to enjoy His creation!! Wish we could of been there to enjoy that moment.. It is a hit when one of the girls get a grasshopper.. Football chicken style..

The new coffee beans were delivered on Monday, and I roasted them last night. The were roasted in my coffee roaster. They were roasted to full city(read the label to see what flavors I get there) Fresh beans bubble a bit when water is first added. Brewing in the Chemex brewer. Water was heated to 195 in the kettle. It Tastes like very good coffee. I might taste a bit of citrus rind?

I might add for my taste it is not as dark as I like.. I have 2 clients that roast and bring in some for me.. It is a bit earthy with some under tonnes of, hmmm let me think? Agh, depending on how you roast? They do a medium roast.. I will take it & next time, grind like powder & boil, boil, boil.. Like Turkish coffee.. I know what you are thinking.. However, I do want to try it this way at least once.. Did you dark roast?? 30 seconds to 1 minute difference, for the way our friends roast t.. Ha! We were at a party, we live by A.S.U. This dude used a pop corn popper!! He was not paying attention to the roast, just the girls.. Was fun to watch! We are working on getting them a flock...
