YUM! That sounds fabulous. I guess I should find the parts for my ice cream maker...
I had to end one of my chick's suffering tonight...it didnt look good out with it's sibs so I brought it into the TV. It had seeds or corn in it's crop all day so I tried a little olive oil. When we got back from out walk it was breathing really hard and lying on it's side--crop still full. It is too sad when it's a baby!
No idea about your ducks BL4...everything is the same? How long do they typically live?

I sure wish the cool front was coming here. It is still quite hot outside. Our walk was nice but it wasnt so nice coming back in here! Supposed to get rain after midnight. like 3/10" not as much as we need for sure!
Well I am heading to bed. Gotta cook tomorrow and this computer is making my lap sweat!
Sweet dreams! Terri O

REAL women do their own pits.

Sad news here..... both the ducking and Maggie did not make it. They were still with us at noon but by late afternoon both were gone. (Maggie was the grey/white/black duck I brought to the Bash with the babies). I am trying to understand what is going on??? Are they eating something that is highly toxic? If they are, why would it take this long for the to get sick from something? I have had the ducks for over 2 years and suddenly I am losing babies and adults...... it does not make any sense.... Maggie was just fin yesterday morning and by evening was sluggish.....

Now just for all you lushes on here; I am making Rum and Coke Ice cream for my boss' birthday tomorrow. Here is the recipe.

2/3 c dark run (Meyer's) split
8 egg yolks
1 c sugar
3 c milk
1 1/2 c whipping cream
2 t corn starch
2T corn syrup
1/2 t salt
coke

Combine 1/3 c rum with 2/3 c coke and put in a shallow pan in the freezer and allow to freeze in a thin layer.

Place cream and 2 c milk in a heavy bottom saucepan with sugar, salt, and corn syrup, turn heat to med. Mix remaining milk with cornstarch and set aside. Whip eggs until light and thickened. Once milk mix has come to a simmer, turn off the heat and carefully ladle some of the hot milk into the eggs, whisking the whole time until you have added enough milk to heat up the eggs. Pour egg mix into pan and turn the heat back on to low and continue stirring until milk thickens (before you get scrambled eggs...) add remaining milk with cornstarch and continue heating until starch has cooked. Add the remaining 1/3 c rum and 1/2 c of coke. Pour into a heatproof container (or a plastic bag) and cool in ice bath then place in fridge. Mix must be completely cool before making the ice cream. Get your ice cream maker ready according to the directions. Before you pour the milk into the ice cream maker, add another cup of coke. While your ice cream maker is running, take a fork and shred the frozen rum and coke into tiny ice crystals. When you put the ice cream into your containers, alternate some of the run/coke slush in-between the ice cream so you get a layered effect.

Since I am winging it with this recipe, I will let you know how it turns out.... I hope there is not too much sugar in it so people will enjoy it!


And thank goodness the cold front is moving through!!!!

So Sorry to hear about your Magie and her duckling. Hope that is the end of your loses.

Now I'd like to know why in the heck you are posting this recipe WHEN THE STORES ARE CLOSED !!!

Now I want to make that too !!! Ice cream sounds good right about now too!!!

Well there's Doc. It looks like his Bator neck is all better! Wonder where the bathrobe is though...?

And there's the Chicken Knowledge Fairy. Where's your tutu Jim?

Real woman use duck tape !!!! Or tweeze it out one at a time................. Silly, not on themselves........ from their Dh's chest............ While he's alseep........after he pulls a stunt like BBP's DH did !!!! Hmmmmm looking at my DH's hairy back right now........... He's sound asleep.............Where's the duck tape when I need it ????

Here's something for you to dream about Bigfam

 

[FrenchToast]

Guess all OLD men look alike to you Bigfam !!!!!! Wrong on one of them but won't tell. I want to see if VickyW recognizes either of them. She's an OLD lady so she may not remember either !!!!!

Just kidding you Oldies !!!

 

[FrenchToast]

See what else you missed at the Swap Vicky !!!

 

[Bigfamily4me]

Ok, ok, ok... This is what I get for glancing at the pics quickly and posting! Sorry he who must not be named that I misnamed.

Verdict on the ice cream.....


YUMMY! It is PERFECT! Makes about 1/2 a gallon too. Now all I need to do is NOT forget it tomorrow. I think I would top with something salty... beer nuts, pretzels, etc...

My DH was thinking that it could possibly be West Nile???

It took less than 24 hours for Maggie to start acting ill until she died. I have not switched feeds, no new weird plants in the yard, no chemicals of any kind on the grass...... I have no idea what is happening.

We have COLD air coming into the house!!!!

My guess on the pics was the same as BigFam; Top one Doc, and the bottom I know is Jim. I missed Doc at the bash so I am trying to picture him all clean-shaven.....

Finally picked up my car. One of the Oxygen sensors went out on the car so the dealership fixed it AND updated my computer. Nice!


Ok, gotta get to sleep. Another big day tomorrow.
