Bread is done. It always gets mashed on top when I dump it out. Lol but it's good.

How are you doing Cynthia?
Is your shoulder getting stronger?

Shoulder is doing great. Hurts when used in certain ways, it's supposed to be a full year of recovery. It's my breathing that isn't under control. Going to see my MS specialist next Thursday! Guessing some type of breathing therapy to be done at home.

Sorry Clue, not fun. Had she been drinking too much?

All of them are drinking a bit more than usual because of the climbing temps., but nothing unusual. I pick each of them up at least once a week, and I didn't notice anything last week. I admit, because if the heat, and stress from the heat, I didn't hold, and check them as thoroughly as I usually do. I mostly checked for any feather damage, and mites, especially around their vent area, then set them back down. I had fed all of them mealworms as a treat the day before she died, and there was nothing amiss about her behavior. She was a little bloated, and had water, but was not overly bloated, so easily missed. Treatment options are limited, with varying degrees of success, but usually the outcome is not too good for longevity. Had I caught it, I could have tried using a needle to aspirate, but there are no guarantees it would work, and no guarantees as to when it would have to be repeated. Don't worry, I've gone over my chicken keeping skills a dozen times, kicking myself in the butt for letting it happen, and trying to figure out where I was remiss in my care of them. Sometimes, no matter how well you care for your flock, you'll get one bird that things go awry with, through no real fault of your own.

My older sister always made bread from scratch. She would spend a whole day making the dough and freezing it so she could pop a loaf in to have fresh bread when ever she ran out. She had to buy a mixer to do the kneading for her now. But she still makes her own bread. She has RA. My joints and my fingers are to tight to do do it. I tried it took me 6 hours. And That was the one and only time I tried. I had Dh buy me a bread machine. lol I don't care it's still home made bread. lol

Bread machines are good for you since the ingredients are your own.

I bake bread, rolls and do make bagels. I like the Parmesan from costco though

There are some no kneed bread recipes.

The house is rattling because some of those Big Ole Marine Helicopters are going over head. Miramar Naval Air station became Miramar Marine air station... a few years back....

Miramar was where they did the Top gun training.... back in the day...
