The juvenile pair I'm willing to part with are seconds (aka my culls) not something I'd consider showing but good enough to be a good pair for someone starting to breed them. That said, I'd take $50 for the pair as they are now....later in the year (after I've fed/watered them more, I will raise their price to probably $65). Thanks!

Chickielady - Nope, I'm a low carber trying to drop 150 pounds! I'm down a little over 11, so I have a ways to go yet, lol. But my SO is also a LC, so I have company.

When I made the donuts, I multiplied the recipe by 2.33 (I think it was) so that it used a whole package of cream cheese...we had donuts for breakfast for 3 days! But, they were dipped in a Dark Chocolate Glaze (totally legit for low carb eating), so it was all good.

I need to find a Crown Muffin Tin (Muffin Top Pan) to make the Oopsie Rolls (bun shaped), I haven't been able to find one in all of Spokane! Next weekend's project is going to be trying to make the rolls "Twinkie" shaped and filling them with stiff whipped Cream...I think they'll turn out pretty close to the real thing (and should package nicely for a sweet treat at lunch time).

Stash makes a Lemon Ginger tea...I have a box, but it's a bit strong/spicy as well. I haven't had the nerve to try it with a bit of honey (I use imitation, sugar free honey) and cream (milk for someone not low-carbing it) yet.

I just found something shrink-wrapped at the back of my fridge. I think it was once a hunk of smoked cod .... or possibly some brie.

This prediction for a major snow event ... I think it is a conspiracy with the grocery stores.

My greenhouse!!!!

It has been snowing non-stop since about 3PM today, and so now there's about 3 inches of snow out there. So, even though it is night, I decided to get some photos of all our beautiful snow, seeing as how I'm told it will begin to rain at midnight.

What did I find? The greenhouse could not withstand the weight of the snow, and collapsed!! It looks basically like a meaty ribcage with the spinal cord sunken into the ground. I think the snow was way too much for it, which I feared would happen, and so the center crumbled downward. I have no clue if it is officially broken or not, all I know is that there's a lot of snow and visqueen covering the "spine" of it, so I really can't tell if it is broken.

Tomorrow when the snow melts I'll find out for sure. If it is broken, may it rest in peace. Now I have even MORE work to do, and I'm surely gonig to build the next one to be much more sturdy and weather resistant. So much for taking photos of it standing. I'll upload the "crime scene" photos tomorrow.

Really hope it's just flexible, and not broken.

I hang mine from a tree by one leg grab its head, say a few works of thanks and just cut the head off with Buck knife then quickly walk away.

We have a traffic cone that we put the victim in before doing the deed. This keeps the blood splatter down to almost nothing. Everything going into a 5 gallon bucket, and then is buried in the garden. That spot is then covered with bricks for quite awhile. We are very careful with the waste, because of the dogs. DS is able to pick up old traffic cones at work. The cones come in different sizes.

I have been thinking about getting some kill cones.

Feelin' okay....just getting used to feeling like crap, I guess? LOL I got some of those "Sea Bands" that seem to be mildly helping...but I'm still super-queasy. I went in today for another check up...they are concerned with my thyroid levels....thinking I might have something going on...I guess the high "normal range" is 2.0 and mine was 2.32? Oh and my blood type is A neg, DH's is O positive so there is a series of shots I get to take to ensure my body doesn't reject the fetus as something foreign or bad.

Oh and my new due date is 8/23/2011.

Other than that....still trying to sell off a few extra birds...one goose, a pair of calico cochins....a bantam orloff roo, a pair of LF orloffs...

Keep us posted. Having kids is fun, thats what I keep telling DW.
