SCG - You are killing me down here! Now I have to go cook some French Toast......

I had French toast this morning too!

No Hickory syrup though.

Mine will have the last of the Pecan Syrup...oh so sorry, boys!

 

[gryeyes]

Oh, fine, and I'm sitting here munching on a PopTart.

My friends who - in the past - processed my excess roosters picked up six from me last night. I had taken a partial roll of welded wire fencing over to their place earlier in the day, along with a bag of feed. They're going to build a pen for them and house them for me until Escrow closes AND I have a coop & run set up on the new property. Usually the boys just spend a few days in Freezer Camp, no run, until Processing Day. Unless I end up with a mean rooster, that's not going to happen any more. They just have to live somewhere else for a while.

HHAndbasket sent me a text message this morning: "Your roosters are spoiled babies!"

Well, uh, yeah.

French toast. Hickory Smoked Syrup. Pie. What next?

For a goodie cake.. I love to make the Pineapple cake.

Sooo easy.

You bake a cake according to pkg. direction.
Let it cool, then poke some holes across the top with the bunt end of a butter knife.
You have warmed up a large can of Pineapple pieces, with juice, and, with just a bit of sugar in it.
You pour this over the cake.
You have now made some vanilla pudding.
You pour that over the top of the pineapple.
You open a Cool Whip and spread it over the top of the pudding.

It's yummy. Sorry, no pictures. Haven't made this is a while. Since it's just myself and hubby now, I don't bake nearly as much as I used to. AT this time of year, I was making loaf after loaf of Zucchini bread. The kids ate it up as fast as I could make it.

So, Linda, you got the ten?

You are killing me!! I live low carb and this is completely off limits. I would eat a uarter of it in a heart beat if it was cold. yum. ( FOrgive me Cynthia for not making it. iiBut my head is spinning trying to think of substitute LC ingedients!! )

So, Linda, you got the ten?

Yup! e

For just $3,500.00 more than the two acre place! (If there was a house on the property instead of a very old single-wide trailer I would have had to pay twice as much....) But the property is already permitted for a manufactured home, so some time in the future I can put something much nicer there. In the meantime, it's habitable if I wanna stay on the property overnight.

My real estate broker <I>gently</I> suggested I "become" a business for the tax benefits (because this is a second property, not my primary residence) and to get a Livestock Guardian Dog. Both are great ideas. I do sell eggs.... I have also sold "mutt" hatching eggs to several folks who don't have roosters but discover they've got a broody hen. Perhaps some day I might have some purebred eggs to sell, too.

I gots some plans.

Heck, I already have some metal yard art to put there; when I bought my current house, the day escrow closed, I stuck a metal rooster-hen-and-chicks whirligig in the front yard. Made it obviously mine immediately.

Congratulations!!

I am extremely jealous.

I would love a few acres here.

One day...................

My place in the Philippines has been recording a loss as a farm for many years with Uncle Sam. I sell copra which would cover costs - its just the administration - like me having to fly in to check on it that makes me lose money.........such a shame

OH LInda I am very excited for you. WOw!! Is the fall the better time for planting in your area?? So many possiblitites!!

Thought I'd share some info about the two different properties for anybody who's interested. I found the first myself, and the second was the one in which my broker thought I might be interested. She was correct. The application used is Zillow, a very handy one to utilize. Even if you aren't planning on buying some real estate, you can have a lot of fun plunking in addresses or scrolling around your own home out of curiosity. The property I am buying was never listed in MLS, so Zillow has very little info on it. Just a "Zestimate" of its value.

Information and photos are accessed directly from current MLS listings.
Even if there is no MLS listing, the satellite photos are nifty.
