briefly, while they were looking at the bargain cookbooks
i started to talk to them ( i am so bad, i talk to everyone)
the husband had just had a triple bypass ( he looked all of 45)
they were sick of eating chicken........ so they told me
i love chicken
i love having chickens and eating chicken...
so i told them about roasted sweet pepper sauce, and marinating chicken with red wine and onions/garlic
i didn't tell them about the cranberry rosemary chicken, or the orange rosemary chicken, nor did i give them the URL to this blog and then post the recipes for them
i feel a bit bad about that since it seems sooooooo many people don't seem to have a clue about cooking anymore.
i did give them a brief outline on how to make a sweet pepper sauce, and how to make a sort of veggie thing to put over the chicken, ...... i hope that helps them a bit
i also wish that instead of all the boxed and frozen crap out there that folks do start to experiment and learn how to do stuff on their own
and there are a billion cookbooks out there..... but that in itself is too much, too overwhelming
oye
ok off the soapbox and onto the cat tree
we clipped fawn-
not totally, as i still have one side to go on her and a bit on her stomach and chest
but the good bulk of the mats on her back and butt
i am now determined that she not only gets a yearly clip, but two baths a year a least.......we been letting her slide as she doesn't enjoy them but that isn't good for her sooo two baths a year it is (she looks funny but feels better)
as to the chickens.... everyone insists on sitting on fudgie, and i am not sure why! seriously, they sit on her head!
i am always getting chickens off of fudge and making her get up
wonderful, i get 'unique' chickens
maybe they are just trying to calm her down by smothering her?
they need to go out again, but with the heat i haven't wanted to..... folks are losing chickens in this heat and my guys are deffinately not used to the heat.
in duckling updates, there appears to be only two ducklings that are all white!
i ordered white ducklings....i seem to have gotten 4 colored ones
they continue to crack us up... last night we let them out to graze and they saw bernie's feet
they gathered AROUND bernie's feet
he of course was confused
i told him
they are waiting for you to do that 'foot/dirt' thing...... you know for the worms
hahaaha
then into the pond for a bath, then off to bed
the 'off to bed' thing isn't a real thrilling idea for the babies..just like any other kids
meanwhile they are all still plopping down to eat etc..... which is such a boy thing i can't tell you
i don't ever remember ANY girls doing that and this is now my 3rd nest to raise, as well as i don't know how many ducks....
ok now a question..........
how long does it take to get used to a new mattress.... the first week was good-now i have lower back pain
so does bernie
what advise does everyone have?
ok off i go now..... the pickles are looking to come on nicely very shortly
the pattypan has babies, the spaghetti squash started to flower.......
i love my garden even if it is tiny
It is amazing, isn't it, how dependant people have become on pre-packaged food? Cooking for yourself is so much more pleasurable than opening a box and throwing it in the microwave. Here's a book I have on my list to purchase - it's called the Lost Art of Real Cooking.

Our local furniture store won't accept mattress returns until after 30 days. They say it takes that long to get used to a new mattress. I hope it works out for you.
ReplyDeleteNot only do people not know how to cook, they eat out fast food all the time. The young mothers around here always eat out, I don't understand how they can afford it, and it isn't even good food. I still say that is why my grandson is such a picky eater, they ate out every day when he was a toddler, and he could choose whatever he wanted to eat. Now he throws a fit if he has to take a bite of something he doesn't want. I offered to teach my DIL to cook, but she wasn't interested. Her family eats out every day, and that is what she wants. I have no control. :(
