Well, it's certainly snowing and blowing now! The chickens are very unhappy (can't say I'm thrilled either).

Have you ever seen that Movie, "Money Pit"? I think Shelly Long is in it. Very funny!

The house was very big and not a small house. It is a very funny movie!

If you can find round steak, this is a good alternative to Salisbury steak

View attachment 1326874 My new babies....13 hatched already and hatch day is tomorrow! Only 4 eggs left. Crazy hatch, when i opened the bator after 24 hours they all tried to jump out. Some succeeded and fell on the floor and ran around!

Congratulations

You can do this. Oooom, oooom, oooom


Yep, looks like that one doesn't have washable media.


That would be because the people who do the cover art don't make or eat the food, they draw what they think it SHOULD look like to catch people's eye. And yeah that salt hit is not at all surprising. Most packaged foods of that nature have WAY more salt than you would put in if you were cooking it or they would put in at the restaurant the original came from.


Another guideline - a fish's stomach is about the same size as its eye, EASY to over feed!


Now there is something I need out in the workshop!!


Yep, good time to season your cast iron so the energy can be spread over multiple needs. I admit to having "stretched" my charcoal way past its limits. Probably doesn't do anything. Actually, not entirely sure what the charcoal is supposed to do!

Charcoal absorbs odors and crud to sweeten the water.

Just came in from checking on the chickens. YUCK! It's nasty out there...the wind is howling, the snow blowing sideways and the ground one big slick spot.

Isn't it supposed to be spring yet?

It should be warming up for you because it's cooling off down here! We aren't going to feel it until Monday but it's coming.

Cant say I didn’t warn ya, Debby!

Sigh, I know, I know. Don't know what my big hurry is anyway. Warm weather means back to work for me. And I'm not ready to go I like having my days to spend as I please.
