Chickens Doing Chicken Things

November 30, 2011

TIME OUT.

November 29, 2011

I must have jinxed myself talking about the adorableness of Gussie because not too many minutes ago, he and the dog were up to their usual nonsense, chasing each other around, and attempting to bite each other’s faces.  Sometimes, Gus manages to get a claw stuck in Casey’s face, to which I yell: “You better [...]

Gussery

November 29, 2011

Oh, Gus the cat. He is pure entertainment.  A few things Gus enjoys: Watching TV.  Here he is watching “The League.“  That show is ridiculously funny:  if you don’t already watch it, you need to start.  Horribly inappropriate, but I find it hysterical. Gus also enjoyed an equally inappropriate movie, “Bridesmaids.” Besides TV, Gus also [...]

I Laughed Until I Cried

I swear he says: “Mine.  My Corn.”  Seriously!   From dlisted.com. Best. Website. Ever.

Baked Eggs

November 28, 2011

Somewhere out in the blogs, I came across a recipe for baked eggs in tomato sauce with goat cheese.  YUM!  I am pretty sure I saw the original recipe at The Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen Blog, but finding the actual link feels like a lot right now.  Also, the original recipe had you actually cook [...]

Hello, Dinner

November 27, 2011

I’ve taken to occasionally roasting myself a chicken for dinner on Sunday. GOOD LORD is roasted chicken (cooked at 450 degrees, based on this recipe) delicious.  I’m not even going to tell you how much of the crispy, salty skin I consume straight off the bird.  NOT TELLING. In today’s genius discovery, I cooked that [...]

Liesel Gets the Molts

November 27, 2011

Poor Liesel.  She is on the road to re-grown feather recovery now, but a week or so ago, it looked like it was snowing chicken feathers. Can chickens feel ashamed?  Poor Liesel is NOT happy to be molting, and Greta is seriously not impressed, either. Now that Greta is post-molt, her feathers are lovely and [...]

Vegas, Part II

November 26, 2011

As Westerman says, you don’t title something “Part I” and then never getting around to writing the other parts. So, without further delay, here is the story of Vegas, Part II (which was really day three): Westerman’s Breakfast. We ate at this place called “Hash House A Go Go” which is known for ridiculous portion [...]

Non-Amish Dryering

November 26, 2011

Naturally I love my Amish Washer, but I think that the reason that I don’t mind doing my laundry Amish-style is that I don’t do my drying Amish-style.  I have a real dryer. The main reason I use the Amish Washer, truthfully, is not that I am the world’s eco-est person, but that there were [...]

Friday Nonsense

November 25, 2011

I love that it is Friday and I’m already on my third day off.  WOO HOO!  Glory.  To celebrate, I did a fat lot of nothing today, as did the lazy animals. I also did some gardening.  One of my favorite hobbies is hole-digging.  I’m not kidding.  But I don’t like to dig in hard, [...]
