There is an ad here for "bread Cows". Now, I've seen milk cows before, but never a bread cow.

Maybe you should ask what variety they are - white, wheat, pumpernickel?

Maybe Corn bread!

So the Sexylink is more attractive than other chickens, huh?

And I love the Mille Flours!

The Sexylinks must live in a chicken brothel and those Mille Flours better stay out of the Flour Mill!

Don't you mean they live in a Broth(el)?

And when the broth is done, you can serve the dish with some of that Dotted Wine and the Macaroons for dessert!

You're a better CL searcher than me! I couldn't find anything in the Medford-Ashland CL today! Except a dog that was being given away - the rare and undiscovered "docsun" breed.

Well, we do have one of the oldest continually running grist mill in the country here in the Medford-Ashland area (in a small town called Eagle Point). It's been running for 134 years... They make great flour!

While I am not the OP, I have made a couple of posts myself so let me just say that I personally did not mean to offend anyone - I don't think anyone who has posted has meant anything offensively either. I think we are all laughing in a "cute" way due to spelling and pronunciation - I don't think we are making fun per se. I for one have a very thick southern accent so my pronunciation isn't the greatest, my spelling leaves a lot to be desired and I am no poultry expert having only had my birds a year so again, apologies if I have offended.

I agree....I am not laughing AT the people posting the ads, I'm laughing at the creative comments our forum members are making. I doubt many of the ad posters have ever seen the names of the chickens written down, they are just going by how they've heard them pronounced. Hope no one is taking offense. I will say though that if I was going to post an ad, I would at least check the spelling....but then, I've seen professional signs that are full of spelling and grammatical errors. I'm sure I'm guilty at times. But you have to admit, these are just too funny!

I wasn't meaning to call any body out. Just wanted to make people aware that there are some regional variations sometimes concerning breed names that can come across as ignorance. Most of these folks have never laid eyes on a Standard Of Perfection, and the closest the've come to a poultry show is the county fair. That does not mean they have not raised many a bird over their lifetime.

I have always had a thing for brahmas. When I was a kid the old timers pronounced it "braimas" or more likely "braimeys" with a long A sound on the first syllable, long or short E on the second. This did not mean they did not know how to breed a good one.

No offense taken, or meant. Just gets my feathers up a bit if I feel someone is getting made fun of, less of course they deserve it.

I can see you are relatively new here and may be unaware of forum rules and regulations.

This one in particular:
***NEVER mention food without posting the recipe!

Okay, technically it's not a rule.... It's just common decency!

Forgive me, I lost my manners in my rush to the pantry.

Chocolate Coconut Macaroons


Preheat oven to 350

3 Cups shredded coconut (8 oz pkg.)
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract (I like the almond)
1/8 tsp. salt

*mix above together*


Heat
2/3 Cup sweetened condensed milk

Add 2 tablespoons cocoa or 3/4 oz grated chocolate to the heated milk (I use 2 1/2 TBS)

Cool milk mixture and add to coconut to make a thick paste.

Fold in 1-2 stiffly beaten egg whites


Roll the paste into balls or drop it from a teaspoon onto a well-greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. They may be rolled in sifted confectioners sugar. Add some cocoa to that too--chocolate is GOOD!



Am I forgiven now?

Sound divine!
