I will also be having a conversation with the partner. (He's not going to like hearing it either)!

Bet that will be an interesting conversation.

Have I ever mentioned (I just hate the pecking order actions of my hens)?

My Youngest DD does that quite often when needles are involved!

I hope the woozy feelings go away soon

I passed out once when they were drawing blood and hit a nerve!

Update: My Ameraucana has missing feathers on one side of her face. probably plucked out by my more aggressive hens. But I think she's still beautiful!

Tips from the Test Kitchen

Tips From Our Test Kitchen:
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nut lovers can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cake batter.

Thank you for the recipe Ron! I will have my son get me some apples from the orchard and give this a try...it looks delicious!

Hi Cappy!
My youngest son passes out, they have a hard time drawing his blood, he has extra valves in his veins! When he had cancer they had to put in a port for his blood draws & chemo treatments!
