Sick rule
  • Anne Anne Now 100%

    Congee is the ultimate squishy sick food. Cook a cup of rice in 6-8 cups of liquid, with salt to taste, until completely broken down so it's thick and smooth. It's super versatile, can be made savory or sweet depending on the liquid you use to cook and any seasoning you want to add. I like it cooked in diluted coconut milk for a dessert base, then mix in raspberries and honey. Make it savory by cooking it in broth and topping with a soft boiled egg.

    You never know until you try! If she doesn't want her belly pet, she grabs your hand with her front paws and bunny kicks you with her back legs.

    In my opinion, yes. They're like really garlicky spinach. I spotted them in the woods behind my house when I was taking a second tour trying to decide between this and another place... They were the tipping point.

    Yes, those are ramps! Mine are popping up too.

    They are wonderful sauteed, or creamed like you would do with spinach. They freeze well if you blanche then first, too. I also like to make ramp butter, chop them really fine and just mix them in raw with heavy cream, a pinch of salt and a little bit of lemon juice. Mix and mix and mix until all the fat and liquid is separated and you have delicious green butter and buttermilk. The buttermilk is great in biscuits... Damn, I love ramp season.

    The heater is necessary until they're properly feathered, they need to stay around 95°F right now. That will be adjusted down around 5° a week until they are comfortable at room temperature. I don't actually know how long they would last without it, but it's obvious when they are miserable and cold. They all snuggle up together in a little clump and when they first came home they were very lethargic until they warmed up. It was about a 4 hour journey for them from the hatchery to home without heat.

    Did you keep him? I had 4/6 of a straight run be roosters a couple years ago, but they killed one of my hens and had to be culled.

    We just got a batch of ten baby chicks! Two days old and they are already having a blast climbing and jumping off a little rock and sticks. This batch are all females, and are a random variety of "exotic" chickens. When their real feathers grow in it'll be fun to figure out what breeds we got! They are just in an XL dog crate with foil insulation around the bottom edge, and a red heat lamp hanging from the top of the crate. I don't know if the foil actually helps retain any heat, but it does keep the chicks from escaping. It's a high security *henitentiary*.

    The new science of death: ‘There’s something happening in the brain that makes no sense’
  • Anne Anne Now 88%

    I only have one child, because she tried to kill me.

    Going through the complications, the hospitalizations, the stress on my marriage, the fear and the sorrow and the anxiety... At the time it was all devastating. But then I held my healthy, beautiful daughter and I knew we had both survived it all. There was, of course, the natural biological rush of hormones and happy chemicals to ease labor and promote bonding. For me though, there was also a feeling of invincibility and adrenaline, like I had survived jumping off a cliff after a long tortuous hike to the top of a mountain. I don't know how else to describe it.

    Sure it could have killed me, but it didn't!

    Then factor in that for any woman, people will always ask when are you having another one? Peers at Mommy and Me, family members, old ladies at the grocery store, it'a a deeply personal decision and people treat it like chatting about the weather. Other Mom's would tell me their birth stories and say but 'it was all so worth the pain' and I'd think, maybe I'm a wuss. Maybe I'm not as good of a mother as they are.

    Think, too, of all the other stupid shit humans do that might kill them. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Do you drink? Cross the street without waiting for the traffic signal? Drive or ride in a car? And if so, what did you get out of it? You could have risked your life, or someone else's, for nothing.

    These women are risking their lives, but they've survived this ordeal before. And in return, they bring a new life into the world!

    I still wouldn't do it again, but I can't blame any mother who does.

It's the large one in the background of the attached pictures. It's the size of a small turkey, grey and white, with a prominent crest. It ate some scratch with my girls, then ate some wild blackberries, and departed into the woods. We're in upstate NY. I've never seen a bird like this before. It almost looks like a peacock but, again, it's white and we are in upstate NY. The girls liked her, she seemed harmless - they usually lose their shit if even a little sparrow tries to snag some scratch. They alert me to turkeys and deer regularly but didn't mind this stranger at all. Can anyone help me identify this bird?
