Stuff & Things
|
EEP!! A little before 7am brought a ruckus from the turkeys outside and the dogs inside. The dogs were looking out the window barking quite aggressively. At first I didn't see anything and crawled back into bed. 3 minutes later they started up again and more aggressive. I finally saw what they were barking. Not 2 feet from the back of my pens was a coyote. Great. Just freakin' great. I can't shoot it there since if I miss it'll probably kill my neighbor instead. Not that I would miss them mind you (think Cletus and Brandine of The Simpsons), but I wouldn't want to serve time in the state pen, thanks. So now to fix that little problem. Made some KILLER YUMMY pizza dough Friday night. O my goodness. I used Jamie Oliver's recipe from his show and book "Jamie At Home". Dang it was good.  JAMIE OLIVER I made a stupid mistake the other day when I was at the local fruit/veg stand. I bought about 2 pounds of jalapeno peppers for the jalapeno mint jelly I was going to make. Then I got home and reread the recipe. I only need TWO jalapenos! *DOH* So I'll be making either a lot of salsa (not likely) or some pickled jalapenos. Oh and I made one other error. I bought Sure-Jel thinking that would be just fine, but I guess I need to have liquid pectin instead. *big sigh* Went to Bellevue yesterday and bought the pet birds some new toys, perches and boings. I also met a friend there I was buying Indy's new cage from...yea baby, Indy LOVES his new digs. However, one thing I didn't notice was there were no perches. Did I get him a perch at the Aussie Toy sale? noooo So the perch I bought Skittles went to Indy and today I made some madrona perches for the both of them. I had some madrona that had been drying for almost 2 years (okay, over doing it, but what the heck) and gained some confidence regarding the bird stand I have yet to build. Onward!! This winter should bring some finished projects into the spring. |
