The Front Porch Swing

I just tested a "sugar free/dairy free" custard recipe. Roasted bananas substituted for the sugar. Coconut milk substituted for the milk. And processed in the blender instead of the kitchenAid. Otherwise everything the same as my favorite recipe.

It is a sad, sad thing to do to custard.

It was gray, for one thing. It has the texture more like pumpkin pie than the silky smoothness that is proper skim milk custard. But if I think "pumpkin pie" while eating it, it is doable.

I'm SO glad I can tolerate dairy!

Hey, Y'all!!! Guess what I heard last night????? SPRING PEEPERS!!!!!! My blue birds are back and singing off their territories, spring peepers are here, it was in the 70s yesterday and warm all last night and we are getting a spring rain...warm and breezy!

Happy dance!!!

Bee, enjoy it for me. It is spitting snow and sleet right now and going down to 9 degrees tonight .
The wind is howling and our "peeper" pond is still frozen

I went to do the big monthly grocery shopping yesterday. It just happens that TSC is right next to one of the markets I shop at. You guessed it ! Came home with 6 Dark Brahmas. I don't know anything about that breed but the chicks were sure cute

We are having 35 mph winds now. The electricity went off 10 minutes ago. I covered up the incubator with 3 beach towels. Crossing my fingers now and hoping for the best......

Does any body here know what a firefly lantern is?

Another vivid summer child hood memory.

Yes! And even firefly paint, which I couldn't bring myself to do much because it involved pinching them into.

It's been snowing for the past few hours now...first it was pouring and now it's snow globe snow...big, drifting flakes. Oh, March, how I love thee!

Hey Buddy, how the weather your way. Snow, Ice? I'm in Louisiana and it's 70 and sunny all day. Overdid the gardening yesterday and didn't get out at all. Crime, really.

My chicks are a hatchin' and right now eating their ff. Only have 8 eggs left to hatch and none is pipped. Sure hope at least some of those hatch out if not all of them. Some was put in the next night from the others so I'm still holding out hope. The brooder box is full of chicks. lol

Yep wind is horrible here to but not bad on the cold side IF the wind would lay. Sure hope you guys get your power back fast! Hang in there.
