Wednesday's Bold Encounter with A Snake in the Grass
Comments (18)Mantis - Bold Encounter pretty much has that color scheme all the time here. The petal color starts out a darker cream after a cool night but as the sun shines on it, it takes on a very white appearance. The eye and edge is close to the true purple in the crayon box. But don't get too excited about it. I received it as a single fan six or seven years ago, and guess what? It's still a single fan. I have grown it in a barrell with two other daylilies, those having slowly increased. Maybe if I had it planted in the ground there would be a different story. I sure would love to see a clump of it someday. Debra...See MoreWhat's for dinner Wednesday?
Comments (15)Gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, garlic free. WOW! That is really tough, lucky you that you could come up with a meal that covers all of those. Enjoy your visit with the family.Tonight was Ladies Night Out at the club so I went to that with a friend and then we stayed for a bite to eat. Just had an appetizer. It was suppose to be Oxtail stuffed ravioli but we all got a butternut squash ravioli by mistake. It was not that great. Nothing awful, but I would not order it again. We had a nice time just the same....See MoreWednesday's Trivia Quiz
Comments (18)I've heard that a red dining room increases the appetite (don't know if that's true) so maybe another color decreases it so I'll say a blue room. Or maybe playing soft music....See MoreWhat’s for Dinner #364
Comments (100)2many, I actually am pretty good at mudding drywall. I'm slow and meticulous, but it looks good when I'm done! As for that chili dog, well, at least once every summer I go to the local A&W. They still have the carhops that come out to the car and put a tray on your window. I get a chili cheese dog and a frosty mug full of root beer. Then I'm done for a year, but that one chili dog is sure good. As for Zaxby's, we don't have them up here so I'm not familiar, but Elery had their chicken when he went to Tennessee for Aunt Etta's funeral, and he said it was actually pretty good. He had chicken every day he was there, though, and was pretty tired of it by the time he got home. It's one of those foods that you can pretty much figure isn't too unhealthy, a grilled chicken breast, LOL, so he got it every time he had to eat out. Then his sister made chicken and dumplings, and his sister in law fried chicken and there was chicken salad and, well, he came home and wanted chili! Artemis, the best advice I have is to just do it. Don't watch, be sure you get in there and do it yourself. You can watch YouTube and watch someone else and read every instruction in the world, but you really just have to do it. The first one is slow, the second one is better. By the time you're on three or four, it'll take you a couple of minutes and you'll be done. I'm assuming you are plucking by hand, I have that handy-dandy chicken plucker that Elery bought me for my birthday and it is an amazing time saver, but with seven birds, probably not worth the price. Plucking by hand takes me about 10 minutes per bird, and cleaning another 2 minutes. Scalding is a minute or so, so about 4 birds an hour. The plucker will pluck 2 chickens in less than a minute, so that's very helpful. We did 28 birds in 2 hours, packed on ice and "resting" overnight. It took longer than that to break them down and package them. I always let them sit on ice for 24 hours or so, it seems to make the birds less stringy and more tender. And don't forget to save the backs/necks for stock. Feet too, if you can get past the thought and trim the nails! Like you, I'm offended by the life animals have in the commercial food chain, and so I have to raise my own in a humane and sustainable manner. It's not for everyone, but it works for me.
