Quote: If my kids will eat it, I would say LC pizza is worth it. lol

Put the mozzarella cheese into the crust made with almond flour and eggs and a bit of cream cheese and some cheddar cheese. Mix together, spread on a pizza sheet covered with parchment paper and sprinkled with corn meal. Bake until golden top and bottom THen put on your favorite toppings minus the cheese.

If using any meats, cook the meat before putting onthe pizza. Bake again to warm the toppings.

At our house, flours have been reduced to about 10# a year; we used to be avid bakers but we decided our long term health was more important and one step was to dump the flours and sugars. All my kids cook.

Same dough can be rolled thin and baked to become crackers.
I still have qualms about low carb recipes, and other faux foods. Vegetarian hamburgers? Yuck. I think it's disrespecting great ingredients, veggies can be made into great things without mimicking meat products. I somehow would find it easier to call your pizza a pie if I were to eat it, somehow it sounds much better to me that way, but of course it's easier to trick kids into eating a pizza. When baking cakes, I like to substitute a lot of the wheat flour with almond flour. Gives it a great taste, and makes it a bit healthier (although the amounts of sugar I use sort of counter that effect

).

One thing that worked for me though, when I felt the need to lose a couple of kilos, was substitute potatoes with carrots and broccoli in meals. I still do it occasionally, since I think that they often taste better. That was about a year and a half ago, when my weight was bouncing between 92 and 96 kilos, now I'm in a 83-86kg range. Now if I could only find a way to gain muscle without having to do something as boringly repetitive as lifting weights. Building my fence and the coop was good for that, but I feel I would need some similar project again. Too bad I''ve surrounded the yard already.

*Edit* I'm not actually sure if these are guys or gals, as my knowledge on penguins is limited to "They're cute and can't fly", but on the other hand, Oz didn't specify gender.

*Edit #2* Oh darn, he did say 'her'. Oh well, dating can be a bit of a gamble.

I've laughed about this one many times:

how strange, I can Google Arabic phrases. You can also use Google translate. Or the translate app.

Lol, I can't talk about the weather, even if it is raining, lol.
I know my prayers in Arabic though.
And how to say "I'm sorry, I can't speak Arabic" in Arabic!

Good one.

I can get my face slapped in seven languages.

Excellent effort.

Okay, I got no takers on the offer of splitting a room at the Ohio Nationals Poultry Show in Columbus, Ohio. I see that I will have to tease you a little.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the American Bantam Association and this is expected to be the biggest show in YEARS! It will not surprise me if there are 10,000 birds entered this year. I went last year and there were about 8,000 birds entered and three isles full of sale/trade coops as well. This year, they will be occupying two buildings instead of one. There will be a huge variety of bantams, hundreds of breeds of large fowl, turkeys, geese, pigeons, guineas, ducks, you name it. It is Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning, November 7,8,and 9. Anyone interested?

Here is a panoramic view of the show last year.

Probably because you limited your options to women.

I tried to get a ride to the show for a rooster last year. A woman that lives near there had 2 black penedesenca hens and had been looking for a black pene rooster for years. I posted on the Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois threads as well as craigslist and finally found him a ride. I was even going to give her the rooster to get some eggs or chicks in return down the road. All she had to do was buy a tank of gas for the person that was carrying him down highway 70. When the time came, she didn't answer the phone or e-mail because she was back east picking up a goat.

and Antarctica!

He said habitable. It may be soon with climate change.

Thus habitable in my description but if you find an Antarctic native I am sure one of my brothers will date her

Penguins?

Dont forget CC, it was the rebels and the risk takers that immigrated here. We come by this nature naturally.

Personally, I'll never be convinced that we humans are supposed to live in densly populated cities like an ant colony---

I lived in a very small town and murders just didn't happen very often. % in the years I lived ther, and onw was a woman that murdered her husband in another state, stuffed him in a trunk, and dumped it along side a rural road, only to have a snow plow blade hit the trunk . . . so I dont think that one should count. lol

I have noticed that if the driver behind me knows me he doesnot tailgate; only strangers tailgate. Just an observation.

I always said that was why people from NY and NJ were considered rude (at least many I knew). There were too many people living in too little space and they had to fight for every inch.
I was never really fond of small towns. I figured, if you weren't going to have the convenience and amenities of a city, then why live around people at all. My choices were a city or completely rural/wilderness.

Why ask?
Wisher had already eliminated dudes.

I don't do fake food either, ever.

biking and paddling will do the muscle thing.

I had the idea and you found the picture.

I think those are boys.

I'm sure it probably tastes good (or else who would bother) but the artificial flavors that it would take to make vegetable paste taste like ham are enough for me to avoid it.

At the beginning of our relationship, Karin dabbled a bit in raising Dachshunds. Mainly she concentrated on the hunting abilities, but a dash of showing was required too to make a good pedigree. Naturally, I was dragged along to these events. That has put me off of any similar things, I don't think I would enjoy a chicken show that much (at least if the people there are as nuts as the people who raise Dachshunds). Now, almost ten years later, I have however started to get a craving to take our Labradors to a show, just to see how the show breeders would react to seeing a hunting lab in the ring.

That's our girls on the right, Vaiva and Kiusa. Note the very standard abiding ears on Vaiva. She looks like an orc from the Lord of the Rings.

In chicken news, we had our second day of three eggs. Viiru seems to have decided to make on average larger eggs than her sisters. She started with a 36g egg the day before last, which was a tie with our record, until Veera felt that she needed to stay champion and pushed out a giant 47g egg yesterday, our only egg for the day. Today, all three girls laid again, this time Virpi made a 38g egg. Veera was a bit low on building materials and only managed 32 grams after yesterdays heroics. I still have my hopes up for a fourth egg today, both of the 18 weekers are looking like they're about to start any day now, Wilma has even stopped protesting when Topi suggests a tryst in the bushes.

haven't you heard? There's allegedly virulent human-killing bacteria that is frozen in the hole that leads to the center of the earth? Whoa, right? I spent way too much time on YouTube the other day....
