Not too much today. Made some brownies for the hubby and my son. Dishes, laundry, etc. About to finish up my last assignment in one of my classes. Then I will just have a final exam in the other class and I am FREE!! Well technically I will have to study for boards, but at least no more homework. What's up with you?

That’s awesome!!!!! Congrats! And I want brownies LOL I’m just listening to music and on here right now. And snacking but I walked Brew earlier this afternoon and I just picked up all his toys (he pulled like 10 favorites out last night ).

Well if you lived closer you could sure have a Brownie. I miss snacking! I do intermittent fasting and snacking is no bueno. lol So I make the brownies, but don't eat the brownies. It's weird but therapeutic to me. I love to cook and bake. I love to eat too, but I gotta chill so I don't look like Big Debra (Little Debbie joke).

Your dog sounds like our doodle making a mess with his toys! lol

For funsies, what is everyone's favorite thing to eat at Thanksgiving? Mine is Sweet Potato Casserole. I make mine with a crunchy pecan streusel on top, not marshmallows, and it is oh so good. Oh, and homemade dressing!

All I am setting this fall are Leghorns. I'm trying not to overdo it so I don't have so many chicks to brood over the winter.

Getting a headstart on next year?

Yeah my Crele Project will take 4 generations to produce true Crele Leghorns that are free from the blue egg gene and crest gene, and produce males that are double barred. I figure if I get the BC1 (first backcross; F1 backcrossed to Brown Leghorn) generation started this fall, those pullets will be laying by spring or early summer and be ready to put with a Brown Leghorn cock from Don for the BC2 generation. Then hopefully by winter, those pullets will be laying and BC2 x BC2 will produce the F2s which will be the finished product. If everything goes according to plan, which with chickens it rarely does. The path is never that linear, and there are always detours when chickens throw you a curve ball. lol

I almost ordered the marbled brownie cookie thing from Dominos last night but instead I got actual food LOL

I haven’t baked in forever. I like cooking though. But usually I just eat something fast like a sandwich or something LOL

I gotta chill on the snacking. I’m just like constantly hungry and I used to eat like tiny portions for a while, like several months, because I would just get full so fast but now I can eat eat eat LOL it’s not good.

And that sounds so good!!!!!! I love sweet potatoes. We never really make that though. My favorite is probably the green bean casserole LOL

I just found a bunch of free movies on my TV that I didn’t even know I got so I’m watching Big right now. The one with Tom Hanks and it’s apparently from 1988? LOL IDK. But it’s good so far LOL
