Thought this guy was gorgeous, any one know what kind?

Me like him too

They are actually always dressed like that in the store. It's a fun place. And it's one of the few places that's honest about the stuff they're selling. Product descriptions often say that "This is completely useless, but that's why it only costs 2 euros" or something similar. Here's their website:

That is my kind of store (well, actually, free stuff is better )


As to Muscovy.... YUMMIEST MEAT EVER!!!! our last batch, the spouse turned into pastrami.

Ron, someday I want my kids to try to make sourdough breads, but they are too young to like the flavor. Maybe in time. THe other day I made a simple 100% rye with caraway, instant yeast salt and water. Blobbed it n a greased cookie sheet looking more like a 1 layer cake, lol, let rise once then baked. It is very moist in the middle and the kids loved it with butter . . . I was thrilled that they were willing to try some thing new.

I used to make german rye and swedish limpa and 100 other breads long ago but I rarely eat breads any more so their ( my kids) education is a little behind!! lol

PS my FF is not going well. Started a new batch indoors and added Braggs but it doesn't smell right. Makes me wonder if the feed itself is the cause as I am using a new brand of horse feed ( it is for my horse lol).

My Daughters always loved the sourdough. They could not get enough of it.

I make bagels, English muffins and pancakes with it too.

Got a recipe for the pastrami? I may give up chickens and go directly to muscovies.

This one is closest to what the spouse did:

The Muscovy meat we used had no skin..... The boys and I were getting tired of butchering, so the set butchered for the pastrami we just pealed out the breasts for pastrami, and pealed out the legs for baking, and called it good.
