I would.

Maybe I will set them free down the road a ways....I hate to kill them~~~~~~~~~~~

Well she doesn't like choc milk AND it is the CARBS not just sugar.

Darn....I had no idea she disliked chocolate..............what does she like ?
Is she a fruit fan (blueberries, strawberries, nanners) or a vanilla fan ???????????
I was going to attempt no sugar added Oatmeal cookies (GF) tomorrow.

I made another GF batch of Toll House Cookies today to bring...with sugar, and NUTS.
I marked the bucket as GF with eggs, butter & tree nuts.

I think it will be easier if everybody brings their food offerings in to my booth and then I will direct ya to the trailer. After of course I have skimmed off a little sample. Simply To make sure that it is safe for the others!!

taste testing ???????????

If you have your travel trailer outside (or camper) DH & I can easily pop up the canopy & everyone can hang out & come & go from there.
Between our table & CR's table I do not think we need another.
Someone bringing paper coffee cups, cream, sugar, splenda packets, plastic picnic ware & paper plates & napkins would be great !!!!

I have name tags & felt pen.................
I remembered the epi pen for CR...seeds, a wall flower for SF....fabric pieces....pickles for VF....and Toll House Cookies.
Now I need to go on a search for a baby vine maple~~~~~~~~~~

Is there any possibility of getting any Blue Copper Marans eggs?

Right now, the girls are cooped with a Blue Jersey Giant boy.
I will seperate the blue coppers in the next week now that a neighbor finally came & got the black Javas he wanted (and bought 2 months ago)
So in the empty coop will go all the blue coppers, so after that I will have pure bred eggs.
IF you do not care if Daddy is a beautiful Blue hackled splash Jersey Giant, then YES I can bring you some, let me know !!

Jersey Giant boy:




He really is gorgeous...........

It should be very interesting to see when you get it done. Your mom's quilt is gorgeous.

I wish I had her hand sewing talents !!!

CL.... I gotta say that doesn't sound very simple. Meat, cheese, assorted bread, mustard, mayo? By any other name.... sandwiches!

And last time I checked salads weren't called a snack or finger foods.

Yummy for sure... but simple finger food? Not!

You have more energy than anyone I know! How the heck do you do it?

I call it simple as I can buy it all at the store & let whomever build whatever they want out of it.
No energy involved there !
You want to see energy ??????????
Hang around & watch JB !!!!!!!!!
last show I think she made 2 crock pots of soup, a huge home made Baklava, a giant potato salad or somesuch...and a big iced cake or coffee cake/tart thing....and maybe fudge too ?
I cannot remember it all...she could have fed us all !!!!!!!!!!!!!
By herself !!!!!!!!!!!
She wears herself out too...hopefully she does not wear herself out like that again !

HINT HINT HINT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chickielady]

I was planning on getting an assorted meat and cheese tray, and some bread, I will also bring mayo and mustard.
I think CL is bringing a pop up tent and a table, and CR has a table. I think I will skip the card table this time. I don't think I have room. We may want another tent since it's supposed to rain ALOT!

CHAIRS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put Louise back in the coop and she went out to the run for some scratch, then lay down in a corner. What is wrong with her? She *can* open her eyes, they aren't swollen, but appears that she just wants to rest with them closed.

Since my allergy reaction is a swollen throat to most of my allergens, taking a chance is not really something I can afford. For years they thought I might have lupus because of my constantly swollen throat, salivary glands and lymph nodes - but I never presented with the lupus trademark "butterfly" marking so they couldn't positively diagnose it. Now that I'm off the allergens, the swelling is down - I know exactly when I messed up and check what I ate. Today I ate blue cheese today and payed the price with a swollen throat for a couple of hours - my guess it may have been a mold reaction. Bleh!

Every week or so they make me show them my epi pen before they'll give me my shots. That's crazy that you had a reaction that late in the shot process. Does it make you wonder if they mixed it wrong? They are supposed to go up very gradually.

Blue Cheese is made on bread.
That is , the molds are grown in vast amounts on bread, then to harvest it is scraped off the bread, and diluted with warm water and made into a slurry kind of.
Then this is injected into great rounds of cheese, and allowed to grow.
In alot of blue cheese hunks at a deli, you can often see the line of blue mold in the cheese, where the needle injected the mold.
So, it well maybe that the gluten is what bothered you.
Look into that too.

This reminds me when that horse kicked me in the face what a sight I must have been. No one was around thankfully but I was running around chasing that horse with rocks screaming at her all the while there is blood dripping down my face! That horse was skeerd! LOL

I did that same thing when my girlfriend (in H.S.)'s spoiled rotten mare kicked HER right in the thigh...and I ran over there & kicked the crap outta that horse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joanne was laying on the ground grabbing her thigh and screamin "Don't hurt her Robin !"
Yeah right !!!!!!!
