I don't like it but am not sure why
Comments (17)But although I don't eat horse, I have to say I'd feel better about eating an animal that has had a good life and been well cared for. Which is more than I can say about, for example, factory farmed meat. I'd rather eat a horse that's had happy life than a chicken that's been de-beaked and spent it's life unable to scratch, penned in a wire cage, pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics, and fed feed with protein derived from chicken excrement. The longer you think about it, the more you (well, I) question society's values about animal welfare. But the fact remains, horse owners in the US are sending their 'no longer useful' horses for slaughter for meat export. So, what's the alternative? They're still going to slaughter those horses. Isn't it better that the carcasses are eaten so someone benefits? Or do we bury them, as though they're humans? I'm not meaning to get at anyone, because I know this is a difficult thing to think about, but I'm just exploring the inconsistencies in our approaches to animal welfare....See MoreSemi-finished but I don't care 'cause we are in!!

Comments (44)kelly~ After posting on another thread to see more of your house photos, I did a search and this thread came up. OMG!!!! Your house turned out SPECTACULAR. It is soooo gorgeous. I love it all. There's not one thing I see that I think should be different. It is perfect. I too love the kitchen, the wood ceiling, the stone walls, and both of the showers. That slate is amazing! That's the most gorgeous application of slate I've ever seen (and I happen to adore slate!!). I am so happy that you have moved in. How goes the progress? Are you hosting the holiday's in your gorgeous new home? It would be a crime to keep that beauty all to yourselves. LOL. :o) Is that an outdoor shower? My goodness. I could just look at your photos all day. The trees in the front are gorgeous. The view looks amazing. The colors are perfect. The wood is sublime. Girl, you couldn't have done it better. It's stunning. And I too can see why you have oodles of equity in it already! Many happy years in your new home. :o) SusanL~ I too bought the Harrod's Creek plans from Cornerstone. We ended up not building that plan (too expensive for the area we were in... it was "overbuilding" for there). We purchased a home in your state and are having it finished. So now we're "neighbors". I hope you'll post photos of your house as you progress. It was my favorite home, and I still hope to build it somewhere, someday. :o)...See MoreI don't have a cat, so why am I buying cat food?
Comments (10)Thanks so much for the help! See .. I thought feeding all of those cats out of one big feeder is very wrong too. Thanks for validating one of my concerns. We have the five dogs and there is no way I'd feed them out of one big dish, they all have their own dishes and a few their own eating areas due to when they were strays it caused food aggression issues with other dogs ( not people ). If left to their own being fed out of a large dish, the food aggression dogs would drive the others out and fights would ensue to regain the bowl .. basically everything that's happening to this cat. So, I do blame the people for not getting involved on her behalf. She's an adult cat, my DH ( who had cats as a child ) thinks she's maybe 6 - 8 years old ?? I think right now I'm going to try to get her back into shape, she's eating for me and she seems very content to hang out down here now. As we sat on the porch last night, she hung out on my DH's lap and soaked up the attention. We live in NC and it's been one of the hardest states hit by unemployment, the papers are filled with people giving away their animals. The rescues and humane socities are also filled .. we went through the whole thing with trying to find Daisy ( the Basset my DHbrought home last year ) a home or into rescue and never could, so we just kept her. I'm also going to call and talk to our vet about a dewormer for her, they'll be able to give me an idea how much it would run and if they need to see her first. They are pretty good about giving us a break when the animal is a stray, they did with Daisy and her whole heart worm treatment. Thanks again everyone, hopefully we can get her looking a little better soon :)...See MoreFast, easy biscuits that don't crumble when cut?
Comments (41)I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Angel Biscuits. So darned good. More involved but really nice for a treat. Angel Biscuits Servings 24Author Melissa Sperka Ingredients 2 [1/4] oz packets active dry yeast [2 1/4 tsp per packet] 1/4 cup warm water [110°F] 5 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for kneading 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp salt 3/4 cup chilled butter cubed [1 1/2 sticks] 1/2 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening prefer butter flavored 2 cups buttermilk lukewarm 2-4 Tbsp butter melted to brush the tops Instructions To make the dough: Sprinkle both packets of dry yeast over the warm water and set aside for 5 minutes. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut 3/4 cup of chilled butter and 1/2 cup of chilled vegetable shortening into the dry ingredients until it resembles cornmeal. [Tip: This can be done using a food processor, or a hand mixer on low speed.] After the yeast has become creamy and "bloomed" add it to the warm buttermilk and gently stir until combined. Make a well in the center of the dough and add the buttermilk/yeast mixture. Gradually work the liquid into the dry ingredients until combined. The dough won't be completely smooth. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured non-stick surface. Begin to work the dough, turning and gently kneading just until it comes together and appears smooth. At this stage, you may divide the dough, in half if desired. Place half into a buttered bowl, and lay a damp towel on top, then refrigerate. [Tip: The dough may be stored for up to 1 week in the refrigerator] Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 2 or 3 inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour to cut into rounds, reshaping the dough as needed. Do not twist the biscuit cutter. Place onto a parchment lined or lightly greased baking sheet, then cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise in a draft free place for 1 hour. [see cook's note] Melt 4 Tbsp of butter, and brush the tops just before baking. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Brush again with melted butter before serving, if desired. Recipe Notes If using Rapid Rise yeast, 1 hour rise time is sufficient. If using plain active dry yeast [long acting] allow the biscuits to rise for 1 1/2 hour....See More- 7 years ago
