For a while I thought you all believed I had unplugged a batch of hatching eggs.

Shivers down my spine.

Coconut chicken? Actuclly, there are2 alternatives to the curry. Dry or soupy. If you don't put in the milk, you'll end up with a Thai stir fry. Add the milk and it is curry.

2 tbsp Oil + 1 tbsp curry paste in 1/4 cup water + chicken chunks = yummy smelling kitchen.
Then add the rest of the veg & coconut milk & 1 can of water, then cook until the coconut oil seperates from the cream.
Add salt to taste. The longer you cook it, the better it taste. If you plan to cook it for a long time, don't use greev vegetables. Just use Yukon Golds. You can use wings and Yukon golds. Skin & all. Cook it long enough & the meat will fall off the bones and the potatoes will thicken the broth and the corners of the potatoes will break off. Tummy yummy.


Veitnamnese spring rolls.
Need lettuce, meat, rice noodles, hoisen sauce and some aromatics...(cilantro, basil or garlic chives)
In a tray of hot water, (set to low) dip the rice sheet and quickly take it up & onto your plate. The sheet should soften up and become stretchy.
Water has to be so hot you can't stick your fingers in over 1 second, but not simmering yet. Like hot tub water.
So with the wet & now soft piece of rice paper, you can build the roll. start with some meat, then top with half a romaine leaf crush the stem if you want the stem, otherwise, cut it out.
then with cilantro or basil then with some rice noodles. (aka rice sticks) Put all this in the middle, lengthwise, size if a snicker's bar.
Make sure it is not so big you can't wrap it...fold & make sure it is tight or you'll be licking your plate.
For the sauce, you can use 1/3 hoisen sauce and 2/3 water. If you like, you can put some hot sauce. Dog sauce is optional. I usually leave that out.

so now you can dip the roll int the sauce (in a cup) and chomp away. good idea to eat near the chickens. just incase the roll falls apart. After a few, the rolls will be perfect.

So no cooking after the rolls are built?
How to keep them warm or do you eat them cold ?
I like hot mustard (Chinese) sauce, a little, and have GF soy sauce.
I guess I better use cooked prawns, huh ?

The clear vietnamnese rolls are eaten "raw" AKA salad roll.
All the meat is pre cooked and the rice noodles too.
If you think you can handle peanut butter, you can use PB with water and soy sauce & tad bit of sugar to make a dipping a sauce.
You have to eat as you make as it doesn't keep well.

LOL...got it. One of thos situations....dang eggs, always crawling in to 'bators and making them darn eggs hatch....LOL.

Well, DD came running up from the basement yelling about one of the eggs in our Binsea bator....one is beginning to pip. There is a litle crack/break in the egg. So very exciting. Even if only the 1 hatches, it is so exciting for us. How many hours can an egg take to hatch?

Is today day 21 or 20 ?
Some can hatch a day early and some can drag on and hatch 2 or 3 days later even.
Shipped eggs usually can be draggy hatches.
Fresh eggs (or eggs you get from someone) from a healthy well fed flcok can pip, rest, and begin to zip.
So a typical fresh egg hatch is usually 2 days or there abouts.

We set the eggs late in the evening and I have read that we consider the next day ... day 1. So today is "officially" day 20. They are eggs from my hens. We are just doing some playing around and to learn some stuff. So, they would be fresh eggs. I think it is resting right now. It is so fun to watch and DD is just loving it. She is checking on the incubator and the eggs, every 1/2 an hour. She wanted to check every 10 minutes, but I advised every 1/2 was good enough. She also wants to stay home tomorrow to watch. Ummmmm....no. Go to school. I have to go to work.
 
Okay some photos. Not the best....but it will give you the idea:

You are going to have a fine time getting her off to school if it hatches while she is asleep. Forget breakfast. She'll be late just looking at the chicks.

Okay, a few more....sorry:

CR, there are my bell photos in here, but the photos are not the best. I will get you a better photo when the Clematis starts to bloom and the lillys start to bloom.
Zgoatlady, the BCM girls are in these photos as well.
And, CL: Matilda is in a few of the photos. She laid her first egg today, did I tell you that?

Matilda is the closest hen on the right. You can see the BCM girls too.

The girls are all helping to rototill my garden beds. They are picking out all the bugs and worms for me before I plant.
