Guess I wasn't meant to have a salmon faverolle. Didn't count the little ones before I put the dogs out. Totally my fault.

I really love chickens and ducks and quail and one parrot as my pets and hobby....but I HATE the fact that they all die so super easily!

And, with such easily eaten and killed sweet critters it is almost always our fault, which makes it so much harder. Point being, you have my sympathy!!!

Also, Salmon Faverolles are, IMHO one of the sweetest as well as cutest chickens, but MAN they die easily in my experience. They seem to be OK once grown, but in my experience they die more easily in the chick and not yet grown stage.

When I was young my friend introduced me to grape jelly & cream cheese sandwiches- pretty good. Maybe peanut butter hadn't been invented yet.

Trader Joe's has a product called "pumpkin butter," only available in fall. Actually it isn't butter but kind of a runny jelly. It is fantastic with peanut butter. But let's say the first ingredient is SUGAR, then a little pumpkin, cloves and stuff.

Speaking of sandwiches - were we? My cousin used to spread "Spry," (like solid Crisco) on bread and then sugar it. He was 'odd' even way back then.

Now and then when I decide to go meatless I put baked beans on wheat bread, either open faced or as a sandwich.

You know, when you run out of stuff you improvise. I had a craving for peanut butter cups and had none. So I poured Hershey syrup into a jar of peanut butter. Delicious but, guess I shouldn't have eaten the entire jar. Minor details. I was sacrificing myself in the name of food science.

Some of my best creations happen that way - no ice cream for a sundae so I filled a
cereal bowl with whipped cream, drips of Hershey syrup and a maraschino cherry on top.
Not as filling as ice cream but, good in a pinch.

Or if you have tons of ice cream cones and no ice cream . WHO keeps eating my ice cream? You can fill them with pudding, Nutella, or nutella , or pudding. Running out of fillings here.

Does that mean I can finally re-post @vehve 's marvelous falling chicken photo?



I just love how she isn't actually flying yet. It looks like she leaned too far forwards, and now it is an oops! about to be a face plant.
