And I thought Penny was being funny saying "tomato to may to". "To many to" makes much more sense.

ETA: Beans were a success and taste great! The 5 cups of dry beans almost tripled in volume. I ended up with a hair over 14 cooked cups of musical fruit.

It still kind of amazes me that if beans are soaked overnight they take only 6 minutes of cooking once the pressure cooker weight starts jiggling. In a pan on the stovetop they'd take at least an hour, and longer if the dry beans are old.

Your beans look amazing. I never thought about making them in the pressure cooker. Good idea.

We always clean on Tuesdays. Used to have a housekeeper and that's when she came, and somehow it just stuck. She wasn't able to come a couple times, so we did it ourselves. It only took a couple hours and we looked at each other and said, "now why are we paying to have this done???"

However, we are having friends over for lunch on Monday, so I may do some of the cleaning over the weekend this week. Get a little ahead of the game. Don't like to do it, but like it to be done. Does anyone love housework???

Never was a housework queen. Dog hair was a condiment in my book.
Never cooked or baked did not have time.
Lost most my vision work went with it.
So did chickens.

Hi everyone. My wife and I are considering rehoming our chickens. Unfortunately, we're finding we don't have the time to care for them like they need. Additionally, our area seems to be bad with rats and we haven't been able to get rid of them with the prevalence of the chicken feed/droppings. (We've tried a bunch of measures to no avail so far.)

Is there a recommended place/or site? We have 3 chickens that are a few months over a year old. They lay pretty well. Can get a bit loud, but overall seem to be happy and healthy.

Hey where are you located ?

 

[Taishen]

We're in Renton, WA.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Maybe someone around you can take them.
Cross my fingers for you?

My neighbor across the road got a picture of a mountain lion in his yard last night. Lots of logging going on to the west that might be driving them over here.
