Good morning Janie and all.
I slept until 6 this morning. I never do that. I had a couple naps before bed too. Apparently I needed it.

G’morning DMC

I love learning new things, and I’ve already learned a new thing today.

Buttermilk, like yogurt, only has an expiration date because the FDA requires it; so unless it has mold, don’t throw it away. When your jug of buttermilk is empty, refill it with regular milk and leave it on the counter a day or two until it thickens and voila, more buttermilk. It is made with a mesophilic culture, ie it will ferment on your counter. I had no idea.

Good morning.

@sourland
Does this look like peck marks to you? He is way taller than my other roosters & hens, and the boss of his coop, but I suppose one of them could have done that. No one else has any marks, that I've noticed. View attachment 4069879View attachment 4069880

To me it looks like an injury of some sort - briar/piece of wire/perhaps a peck mark. I'd just monitor at this point.

We go later into May and I think it’s because we got a random day off at Valentine’s Day and an extra one at Easter. It does help break it up though.

Morning DMC, hope your day at school is going well. Glad you've been getting some extra rest

Good to know IM! Usually I make my own version of buttermilk (milk+vinegar) but sometimes get the store bought. That little tip might help me waste less of it.

I’ve done the same with vinegar and milk in a pinch, but I don’t think it tastes the same. I usually buy the powder because I didn’t know you could just keep it in the fridge.

I found out you can substitute it for milk in any bread recipe 1:1 but not vice versa.

Honestly, I mostly remember it being used to make bread and marinate meat when I was a kid. Mostly chicken, wild game and catfish.

Lost two games yesterday - an 11/6 blowout and a 4/3 extra inning game. Just lost live feed of today's game bottom of the seventh they are winning 6/5.

Hi Debby. About the same today yeah. Forecast has a 60% chance of rain but I doubt it. Enjoy the nice temps!

We have rain starting tomorrow
