How well will it ship? It is a LONG way from here to WY!

I can't see her lounging around either because .... re-read the second sentence ;)

Silly...I excel in lounging! I was made to lounge! Compared to DH and others I see around here, I'm a natural born, died-in-the-wool expert lounger.

As for the desert recipe practice, one thing I learned this summer is if you have deserts available, people buy them. And you can make a lot of profit off them! And you can eat the ones that are duds. So see, there's always a pay off with baking. Of course with that pay off, comes pounds so that's the down side.

I got a cute photo yesterday. Pinkie Pie has a helper - her daughter, Rosie, that I ended up hand rearing. Rosie was one of their first chicks and she started looking a lot smaller than her brother. I took both chicks as I thought keeping them together was kinder. Her brother, Pie, has never been an overly friendly bird - he's a bit highly strung. Pinkie doesn't seem to mind and I know Rosie is feeding the chicks as she has food all over her beak. These babies are very calm too and I can pat them without them getting scared. I'll have to clean out their box soon so hopefully they'll continue to take it all in stride.

When you have very few feathers getting cleaned up after meals makes you cold.

Go Debby chicken! You can do it! Wouldn't a tie be funny?!

@Teila you have been working hard! I think your elbow deserves a break! It looks amazing though - I'm sure you'll be glad of all that shade come summer.

That is so cute to see!

Veronica humbly accepts your acknowledgement. We hope Debby gets in that nest soon!

I don't think either of us would have minded the new avatar. Certainly fits me a lot of the time!

The avatar is quite cute :) I am expecting eggs soon, just hope they lay them in a nest. Problem is they are still sleeping in the "small coop" but frequent the "big coop"...we're checking both nests daily. But my past flock laid first eggs anywhere - on the ramp, under water fount, etc.

That is great! I wonder if I could do the farmers market thing and sell desserts. We have a relaxation of codes in CA that allows us to sell baked goods that do not have milk products in them without a license. One problem is the fee charged by the market though

You should definitely check into selling your baked goods at the farmer's market Ron. You're a terrific baker and you'd be surprised what people will pay for that sort of thing. Guess they like the convenience and know that if they buy just a few, they won't over-indulge. I can get a higher profit margin on the deserts I make than just about any other food item in the restaurant. In addition to deserts, your homemade bread would fit in very well at a farmer's market!

I have had people want to buy bread and desserts from me. A person at work wanted a cheese cake for Thanksgiving. I was traveling so did not get to do that though.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy...but wonder if the co-worker expected it free? I love to sew, but when someone asks me to do FREE alterations...I'm indifferent.:duc
