Well, I may need some stuff from SadieSue, so perhaps could meet up in Tacoma?!?!?!?

Make it a week day and can do! I work weekends long shifts..

I'm having popovers and Earl Grey for tea today; the kids and I started having tea when they were little and their Dad worked in Centralia and didn't get home from work until seven. On a good day. They're gone, and I have been warned by my doctor, dietician, and events, that I need to eat no more than every four hours between breakfast and dinner time.

So: 1 egg well beaten, gently mix in 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, 1/8 tsp salt, fill six buttered muffin tins no more than 1/2 full30 minutes in a 430F oven without opening the door.

It's that last proviso that makes them tricky, I fear.

(CL, would rice flour work for these?)

I know EGGSACTLY what you mean. I already have 5 of our own Serama chicks in the brooder, 21 more Serama eggs in the incubator from Castle Delights, and now mine have decided to lay up a storm and I think I have around 20 eggs collected from them!!!! So hard to not throw them in the incubator too!!! ACK!!! Let me know if you want some though.

Just realized, maybe you were talking to Red Rooster Farm there with her pretty white frizzle boy!!!

Nope, I was talking to you. LOL. I still have not figured out all this new site. Limited time on it so far. I have some eggs coming from Castle Delights at the end of the month. I am so excited. The eggs that Cloverleaf gave me hatched out 3 from Jen's Voltron. they are nice looking chicks - also I think they may all 3 be pullets...here's crossing my fingers.....

. They hatched the 27th. they are so dang cute. If I can figure out how to do the new photo thing I will put some photos on here. I have an angry Serama pacing back in forth in front of her "door" in her wire house. I just got home and have not let her out yet.

Oooops...gotta go get daughter from tutor...Bye everyone...be back on later. Try to figure out the new site.

I tried rice flour and it didn't work. BUT, I did find a flour substitute that works pretty good, but not perfect. It's Bob's Red Mill, pretty pricey but if you want gluten free, worth it. Oh, and I also have guar and xanthan gum to add for body if I need it (hard to find and expensive - got mine online).

I om on Whidbey, I have 4 Black Marans, 3 Barred Rocks (though one is questionable, can a barred rock have brown bars?), one RIR and 4 bantams of questionable sex and parentage Looking to add an LF Cochin breeding pair, too

Glad your here!! you'll like it here!! lots of good peeps!! Hope you stick around!!!

Anyone know how to get rid of the junk to the right of the posts?
I went to preferences and clicked on full width thinking that would do it but no go.

I don't know, but it's annoying me too!!!

Ah. I'm not having any reason to avoid wheat (good thing, too, because otherwise I'm bound around with the forbidden) but was wondering if my favorite eggy comfort food was something I could make for a gathering here. My sane grandmother used to make them by measuring the milk and flour in the eggshells. My father was from a non-cooking household, and could eat a dozen (two eggs worth) before getting started on breakfast, but then he was a logger (carpenter, cat jockey) who always had at least one cow to milk before he went to work.

I used one of Malvina's eggs for this batch; I get her eggs, and the Hamburgs. The Wyandotte eggs go to my daughter as a bribe so she'll drive me around/run errands for me.

BTW, I had brie and those small roast garlic and rosemary crackers called "Wisecrackers" to yesterday's tea. I am advised that I need to eat at least 250 calories at 4:30, and about 20% calories from fat, if I'm to put my dinner off until 8pm, when my husband sometimes actually gets home. I've been losing weight since I started being better about eating when I need to.

Maybe this is something I should try, Lord knows I should lose some weight. We ususlly eat around 7:30. I have afternoon tea also, but rarely eat with it. I'm going to start tomorrow!

It seems much quieter here since the new interface. Perhaps when people get used to it, it will pick up some. I know some folks with slow internet connections are having a hard time.
