One of the worst messes was when a pyrex baking pan Cracked into pieces in a 400 degree oven with a chicken in it! Smoke, juice and glass all over the oven...Sorry about the roaster!Yep, accurate picture! I just had to clean up a mess in the kitchen...not from the cats. I left a ham out last night to thaw and put it in a roaster this morning with some water. The roaster apparently has a hole in it. I’m glad I hadn’t put it in the fridge yet or I would have had a worse mess. The cats were happily licking up ham juice this morning. Now I know why I had a horrid mess in my oven last week when I cooked a roast....thought it boiled over and I’m usually very careful about adding to much liquid and oven was at 300*. Good thing I have 2 roasters. Time for some coffee before I have to reheat or go back to bed
Pans do not cost that much which makes me wonder why I do not replace old ones sooner
It sounds like they are just covering their bases. The origins of the Japanese/Coturnix quail seem to be a bit murky. All proper quail are Coturnix something or other, but the Japanese quail has been named the Coturnix quail because people didn't like calling it 'Japanese' when there's apparently European quail blood in the mix (Coturnix coturnix). Yet they could well be the same species as the quail do migrate between Asian countries and Europe.
The Chinese Blue Breasted quail (Coturnix chinensis) aka Button quail aka King quail (depending on where in the world you are) is the smaller one.
It can get confusing I agree! To be even more confusing the true Button quail is actually not a quail but a 'Hemipodes' - they are small, quail-like birds that are distantly related to cranes and rails.
The Japanese quail are very sweet birds if they are brought up right, and Cap is correct in saying they are often friendlier than chickens. They are so docile and sweet and they are so different to the Button quail chicks - so much calmer and slower and chill.
Thanks for such a detailed and interesting reply! So if you were to buy quail from a hatchery what are you buying? Also this article I found said that the jumbo brown coturnix are the best. It said they are friendlier plus bigger so produce more meat.
Same lol I didn't realize it was so complicated.
My dad makes me lock the cat in the basement every night because otherwise she comes up and jumps on him and sticks her butt in his face at like 4 in the morning! Lol
Actually, it was my idea because my mom wants to lock the cat down there all the time (started when my brother came home one time cause he's allergic but now she just wants to do it all the time even when he's not home....) so I said we should let her up during the day and lock her down there at night. It seems to work.
Although lately even during the day, her being downstairs is fine because my dad works down there now so both the animals hang out with him all day lol the dog is asleep on the couch or outside and the cat is on his desk or eating or sometimes upstairs if she has the choice lol
Wow 50 years! Happy anniversary to Blooie and Ken!
Happy anniversary to you too Michelle!!
Slightly random question: anyone know what Idaho is like this time of year? Or not just Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, etc. Too.
My spring break is March 12-17th although I don't have classes Friday plus the weekends so really it's more like March 9-18th haha but that's just the official time school is closed.
But yeah.
I've always wanted to go out west.
Probably kind of last minute to book I suppose? And probably bad weather?
My parents are obsessed with Florida or a cruise but I just really don't want to do that. I feel like we always go to Florida. I would rather go somewhere new.
But if it's bad weather out west this time of year, I don't want to waste ky money and I guess some of the parks in Florida might be fun.
Or maybe there is another good spot to go?

The students here go to Lake Shasta up out of Redding California and rent house boats!
That sounds fun! And I've never been to California.
I'm not really a partier though
Meanwhile my brother is going to like Peru for spring break or somewhere down there and went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras etc. etc.
There are smaller house boats that are Family size.That sounds fun! And I've never been to California.

Shasta Lake is nice in March. There is an airport in Redding that has small planes that come from the Sacramento Airport.
There are caves on the lake too
