What did you do in the garden today?

Totally NOT fancy, but still they can be good. Yes, recipes vary, so you may enjoy one combo over another. I’m pretty sure last concession shift I worked a couple months ago, the lead made it with canned chicken (a tall/large can), a box of stuffing and some chicken broth - can’t remember cream of chicken soup though for that place, but she whipped it up pronto bc they were running out before half-time. And I ALWAYS get a buffalo shredded chicken sandwich at my fav stand at our county fair at least 1x during fair week.

Mine are super simple.
So are the churches as they try to do it as cheaply as possible. They cook theirs for a while in the giant electric roasters in water salt and pepper and serve on soft white rolls.
I don't think chicken tastes as chickeny as it did when I was a kid. I cook 4 large breast halves in the pressure cooker with a 12/15 ounce can of chicken broth. Natural release, and then shred the chicken, save the broth. Then you mix it all up and add salt to taste and a LOT of pepper.
You can of course cook it in a dutch oven or in a crockpot.

DH has been doing the birds this past week. He does holidays and weekends.
We dropped to -56 with the wind, but they were never in the wind so it doesn't count
They dropped to -12 in the coop, but they've been to that already this winter. It's not new to them.
I'll see them tomorrow as it's my turn. I hope to get them outside tomorrow or Wednesday anyway.
I have a few that are already missing toes, and I have a longhorn that has a HUGE comb. Sometime they loose bits or tips or the wattles swell, but they always heal or fall off and heal. Nothing you can do.

the only thing keeping me from moving again into a dream place... is moving...
After spending 21 years in the military, moving every few years, I pretty much vowed, im gonna buy a place and DIE here, I am NOT moving again ! But who knows, mebbe I win the lottery and someone moves my junk for me

understand - 26 years in and 20 homes, but I still get the itch to see new things all the time

I actually do not think we will move till they put us under.

Went out this morning to turn on the heater on the fish pond. It climbed way high and thought it might make it thru the night w/o the heater, noop, so back on the heater went, it lost temperature a degree an hour or more which kind of surprised me but it is what it is. While I was out there I checked on dummy. Don't know why but she insists on sleeping outside in this cold ass weather. The others are all huddled in the coop and cozy, she sleeps outside. Well I don't have time to play her games, she gets what she gets and if she gets frostbit too bad, she gets warmed up with some carrots, celery, taters, etc etc in a pot. She's turned into a real bitch anyways constantly bullying the others so the love for her is waning fast, considering she has not laid eggs in a while now, yah, it's getting close to her time.

Morning cold here . Only good thing about the cold is no skeeters or ticks.

Only the 82 lady bugs that have managed to find their way into the house 10 days ago when we warmed up.
