Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

I finally got around to re-covering the kitchen bar stools; they look pretty nice now! I also made the oldest DD's birthday cake today. Better late than never! I'll post a pic of that later.

I made a complete meal of Indian food for dinner tonight, butter chicken, some chick-pea dish, basmati rice, and Naan bread........ it was soooooo yummy! We have two pretty decent Indian restaurants in the Valley, but sometime I would like to go to a really good one in the cities..... thank goodness for Woodman's too, I would never be able to find all the spices I need to make this stuff! Half of the ingredient list is different spices, but it tastes soooooo yummy.

Now, for all the things I can cook, I will confess: I cannot make nice fluffy rice.

I have tried, and tried, and tried......... I always end up with a big stick mess of yuck. No matter what method I use, when I cook rice you could use it to plaster wallpaper on walls it is so sticky.

Since the pics are on my phone, BRB......

Barstools.....

My "helpers"....

And the cake. My daughter wanted a replica of the cake Hagrid gave Harry Potter when they first met, but put 'Brittany' misspelled on the cake since people are always calling her Brittany instead of her real name. So, I think I came pretty close......

It was very difficult to make after all of these years trying for nice smooth frosting!

Hi All!

Well the missing hen turkey turned up for a little while this afternoon! I would bet (and I was hoping) she's off on a nest! There are spots in this yard that are so weedy I couldn't get in to look for her. I'm hoping she left a little path when she came out.

Got another pen order so spent last night trying to find ostrich feathers for a good price. If he didn't want 5 colors it would have been allot easier! As it is, I'll have to dye the green ones myself. There are some odd shades of green out there!

Night All!

Nice Sunday Afternoon to everyone...yep the NRA CC classes are much better ..... one needs to know the laws when you decide to carry...like for example...you can carry in a bar...however you can't drink anything with alcohol ...if caught 10,000 fine plus....or in self defense...the culprit needs to be within 7 yards...or it's not self defense....just a couple of tidbits ....I know this is a chicken thread...just sayin...and if a 22cal was big enough ...the cops would carry them....they don't.

My light brahma rooster just started crowing...he is almost a 1 1/2 old...and a big fellow for sure....what a big nice specimen.

The wood I ordered is still on order...gonna be a cold house like TO's if I don't have a bigger pile soon.....

Rodgers looked good yesterday...the D still needs to improve.....the opener with the Seahawks on the road will be a real test for sure.

Peace bigz

I was taking pictures of things outside today and grabbed an old SD Card. Look at what I found:

Marten, Fisher?

 

[BlackBrookPoultry]

I think its a fisher. I can't believe my husband didn't point this out to me 4 years ago when the picture was taken!

 

[bluenkimchi]

Was it eating one of your chooks?

 

[BlackBrookPoultry]

No, but I would have liked to know it was out there. This was in our woods behind the chicken coop.

Afternoon everyone.
After another early and busy day of cleaning and mowing the lawn while eating gnats and sweating in the humidity the rain JUST NOW decided to turn up after circling around us for the past 3 days! And of course it had to start just as I'm done mowing... Go figure!

Also had to get some bails of straw for cleaning the condos (as the deep litter method is probably not working so well with the plastic lining underneath) and feeding the noisy complaining crowd. They're probably enjoying the rain right now.

Having one of them really depressed days. Feeling pretty unappreciated and that I might become the bitter old woman I never wanted to become. Just not liking myself right now.

Lemme get outta here before I pour out of myself til there's nothing left. Later...
