The only problem I have with that is they're not taking stock into consideration. Bone broth is such an amazing boone to one's health, that all bones from a whole chicken or from bone-in cuts are used. So then, we have servings of broth eggs, soups, meatless meals by cooking rice in broth, etc.

Right now, I'm about ready to sock him. The only solution he's come up with is that we should spend less on food...to the point of having hardly anything in the pantry and buy groceries on the day we want to use them to eliminate waste. Apparently food storage is wasted money and room. He says we need to go to doing a zero-based monthly budget instead of the running total I use (I've never been able to make a zero-based budget work), but hasn't done anything towards it.

:frying pan:

Always found in the same spot Rare, but I've read about this, too. I'm also the same person that had a broody chicken hatch LIVE twins once!! 2 of my chicken layers from this batch started laying at 16 weeks to.the.day. My ducks laid a few weeks earlier than anticipated. Apparently, I raise happy hens & they tend to go above & beyond expectations.

As long as you raise meat ducks for meat and egg layers for eggs. Same for chicken breeds. Our Khaki Campbells consist of feather, ribs, and the egg-laying innards. No meat on those bones but they can lay up to 300+ eggs a year.

 

Good price on duck .....especially if you didn't have to pluck it yourself.

We have a trio, & they are definitely little birds. But we get 1-4 eggs PER DAY out of TWO hens!!! Usually 2, but yeah, we've gotten 3-4 a FEW times. I didn't think that was possible!!!

CANNIBAL fruits and berries, Sass!

By shrinking, you change the size of the printed font.

When I came back to MrsS recently, one of the first things I did was look for her to see how she was. I was so sad when I saw she'd passed :'(

But in rereading the problem- not enough ink, it won't matter how many PAGES there are. It will use the same amount of ink if you're using the same size & font.

I got this formatted down to 16 pages by using the 2 column format.

What a blessing! We got 3 turkeys yesterday, free except the drive. I love the blessings!

Westie *sigh*

I know how to get in touch with you

I can't wait for updates on this!!

I commend Belize for taking a stand & PROTECTING their own!!! The CDC can kiss my butt! That's which it is

Welcome! I'm stateside but from Ipswich!

OK, so I got a 1/2 bushel Granny Smith, 1/2 bushel of Mutsu & a 1/2 peck Of September Wonder (I think) yielded the following:

Apple butter:

6- 12oz

3- 4oz

8 half pints

Cinnamon Apple pancake sauce:

6 half pints

Fried apples-

8 pints

Caramel Apple Jam:

6.5 half pints

Applesauce:

10 pints

1 12oz jar

We also ate quite a few- YUM!!! I think that's everything!

Sunday we visit another orchard to get more apples

We had a hawk get one of our chickens, but even our guineas are so far good about bedding for the night. I worry about coons & foxies.

The last of the apples are finally cooked down into butter & will hit the WBC as soon as DS is done cleaning up lunch dishes. I'll let you know my final tally when I'm done

Praying for her & her new husband.

Yum, Mom11!

Today I did 8 pints of Fried Apples. I had a bunch of syrup leftover & about a pint worth of the apple slices left. I whizzed them with my immersion blender, ran them through a sieve to get the skins out & canned 6 half pints of apple-cinnamon pancake syrup. Oh.My.WORD!!! DELISH!

 

6.5 half pints of Caramel Apple Jam.

 

Showoff!!

I feel like it's battle of the apples, the way we keep listing apple-y goodies, LOL. I don't mind sharing the recipe It tastes like Cracker Barrel Fried Apples. My wheels have been turning since I figured that out.

That poor girl does NOT like cameras. She is such a sweetie, though

How come the video stopped when John was asked to convert the ratios?
