Nah....never hardly use recipes. I think my total recipe box has maybe 7 recipes in it.

We just throw in some of this and that, with a pinch of this and it always comes out good. We like to put kielbasa in our chicken noodle soup and sometimes, instead of noodles, we'll use potatoes. Sometimes I'll use rice and noodles. Lots of onions and garlic. Mostly we just put in what strikes our fancy!

:p That's no help. :lau If you like the sausage in your soup, I bet you'd like chicken bog. I make mine with yellow rice, kielbasa and spicy whole hog sausage. And chicken and the obligatory onions, of course. So gooooood.

Umm.. cream of potato and chicken soup.... I need to make some of this. With a bit of cheddar and bacon sprinkled on top... Okay, I'm hungry now.
 
And broccoli! I love making up my own soups...I'm a little picky about some cooked veggies. I like most veggies raw but some I don't like cooked, like carrots and celery. I also won't eat a bean if I can help it. So my veggie soup is usually slim on the veggies that would normally be in such a thing.
 
gosh, go to bed or go to work and come back and ya'll have run on for 8 or 10 pages! Love it! And Granny Bee, love all your chat, your wit, your advice; thank you sooo much for sharing!

Got one old Welsummer hen checked yesterday; the one with the impacted foot gland; had a little bit of dirt in it, but loose and easy to clean out, so washed it, peroxide and some more antibiotic cream (more a just in case kind of thing). Definitely lice/mites. Yay, should be picking up Nu Stock this weekend. so next week can really get started getting rid of these darn things. Will say she doesn't have them as bad as the roo; he definitely has a horrible case of them.
 
The Gnarly Bunch have been haunting the bird feeders and cleaning up any spilled seed. I can just hear the morning doves up in the trees right now saying, "Who in the world invited THEM to the party!!!"

Right now I can see them up in the coop "foraging" in the deep litter. This is this flock's first experience with a soil floor in a coop and I'm thinking there are many more bugs in the DL for them than there has ever been before. What a wonderful way to provide that bug protein...just imagine the bugs and worms that come to feed on the manure and the litter material. I saw a toad outside the coop a couple of weeks back and I thought, "You better hop on out of here, son..NOT the place to be right now!"
