The Old Folks Home

I'm in the high mountain desert too, we do sushi at home with stuff we get at the restaurant supply place where all the sushi places in denver get their fish. I just buy the fish, make the rice and wasabi, my bf slices and rolls. We'll have 6 people over and stuff ourselves silly with grilled eel, tuna, salmon, octopus, smelt roe, for about $35 feed 6 starving ppl.. we eat really well, as we're foodies. Which is probably why my bf goes along with my let's go get this kinda critter and this breed. The kicker- he doesn't even like eggs! He hates them, but loves our chickens. He did say to me- no more chickens until spring.

I asked for 2 incubators for Christmas. Yes already. B/c my bf gets an extra paycheck this month.. I gotta ask for what I want santa to bring now. And I saw this thing for chicks it's a heat thing with a dome and a nipple waterer thing, I need a few of those too lol.

I haven't had my coffee yet and it's after noon.. complete thoughts later.

Aaaahhh finally Dirty Chi Latte.... with four espressos.... the marbles are puttin down their kick stands.... I am a happy camper... Yep noon.

I have yet to try my hand at Sushi roll making.... Hmmmm.... there is a Smart and Final in the next town... Or I could just go to where all the Asian Grocery stores are...

Must give it a try.... Um Oh I am a foodie too.

Had an Andrew Zimmern moment "Bizarre Foods" a while back at my favorite Sushi place. The Sushi chef is from Thailand... I asked him for Flying Fish Roe.... He didnt understand I talked a bit more and he got a big grin and nodded.... He turned and spoke to the waitress who disappeared into the kitchen..... I turned to my son,.... "Should I be afraid?" He just grinned and kept eating his spider roll.

About fifteen minutes later a bowl was passed down to the Sushi chef and he handed to me what looked like breaded French fries and a little Bowl of Ponzu sauce.... He grinned at me.... "I eat every day for breakfast" the french fries had EYES.

They were little baby smelt-like fish Breaded and cooked whole.... And very Yummy I started calling them FishFries.... I dont order them often because I know they come from the Chefs personal stash.

His wife got a giggle when I explained what happened.... they both do sushi.

When I lived in Las Vegas the quality of the fish (flown in daily) was better than some of the sushi joints in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Alas, in Albuquerque when folks go to dine raw fish does not pique the locals interest all that much....unless it were smothered in green chile! Ceviche, yes. Sushi, no.

But I complain not as the quality of food here is excellent. Only one bad meal when eating out and the restaurant closed for good shortly thereafter. It seemed fairly obvious in hindsight that their chef had left the building, literally and figuratively.

Best place in the world for good food... Vegas.

Ummm..... I will confess I got behind by like 20 pages so I just kinda skimmed. I have noticed that it seems we are missing one person in particular! Was there another trip to jail? When I don't see him I get worried!

Someone said they saw him online... So I can only assume.....

How does one end up in BYC jail?

Oh, he's around, but likely not able to post.

Hey, Dude! I'm sure he will let us know when he gets back. You gotta love him, though, he tries, truly he does, but his personality can only be suppressed for so long before it comes bursting forth. We over look it, the mods don't. He understands, and accepts it, and as long as he tries, I think his consequences will be temporary, at least I hope so.

Squatting and then ripping up the nest box.

about a week after the first egg squat. A couple of days after starting to rip up the nest box.

It should be soon but with low light up north it could take a bit longer than normal.
