IV goes beyond the level of care we're willing to give a chicken.

Thanks diva, I'll tell her.

 I wonder if Virpi would eat watermelon - probably can't find any this time of year  but, It has high water content.  I don't suppose they sell watermelon juice.   I'm guessing it would be way too traumatic to hydrate through  an I.V.

Please tell Virpi she has a strong fan base and we are all pulling for her :cd

Giving fluids subcutaneously on her back between her wings would not be too traumatic.

I made a pot of Greens Mustard and Turnip... 50/50. Salt pepper garlic and white vineger...
And a whole passle of devliled eggs. Egg yolks a little yellow mustard Mayo and white vineger... Oh salt pepper and paprika.
Carrot Salad with rasins macerated in OJ... Makes em softer. And dressed with mayo.

Rib eye steaks REally marbled well. What I envision Wagu beef would look like. These were cut VERY thin So I cooked em hot and fast in the skillet. These were all from the same beef primal because all the marbeling was identical. I coooked four of the really thin ones and two one inchers... Mine... The thin ones were for the grandmas...

I had to buy my son his own steak because he only eats lean meat... Happy to oblige.

WE had valentiens today... everyone is still eating.. Well except me. I graze and taste while I am cooking so My meal was only steak. and I am full.

Havent had any greens yet... Love em. So todays meal was lunch/dinner for the grandmas...

My real dinner will be around ten in the evening.

I can never get pix because the vultures start circling when I cook.

Deb: its hard to think that some of our neighbors to the north have never tasted real greens...I have mailed about 10 lbs of mustards, georgia collards, and turnips seeds to our neighbors.
