I leave the inside barn door propped open about six inches for the cats to squeeze through, and he was partway through. He didn't spray because the barn doesn't smell, but I ran the hell out of there. My mare and the cats had to wait. Sleeping is still an issue for me. I'm sure the mare and cat appreciate you didn't provoke a skunk and forgive you for being a bit late. Sorry to hear about the sleep. Lack of sleep makes my next day miserable. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should celebrate the occasion with fireworks and a parade. It might even become an annual event. Awesome idea 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post clochette Posted October 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Looks like many of us had troubles with sleep lately, I guess the full moon impacted us. Dad too, he said he was awake at 4am, as he couldn't seem to go back to sleep he had a cup of tea, ironed his clothes while watching TV for an hour then went back to sleep Edited October 1, 2023 by clochette 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apple pie: https://www.cookingclassy.com/crumb-topped-apple-slab-pie/ And the Broccoli-Cheese Soup. The recipe was originally my grandmother's, and she didn't write it as precisely as I would like. I've made some improvements, and included a variation at the end. 😋 Spoiler Broccoli-Cheese Soup Ingredients 2 - 3 cups of fresh Broccoli florets 1 white onion, finely diced 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds 1/2 cup of flour 4 tbsp of butter 1 and 1/2 cups of milk 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth 2 cups of grated cheese (I use half Cheddar, half Colby Jack) Salt and Pepper, to taste Optional: Dijon Mustard and Cholula hot sauce, to taste Preparation 1. Over medium heat, saute the carrots and onion in butter, until onions are translucent. Add the broccoli and saute longer, about five minutes total. 2. Add the flour and stir well, scraping the corners of the pot to prevent scorching. Cook until flour starts to smell nutty, then add the chicken stock. Cook until the broccoli and carrots are tender, then add the milk. 3. Remove the pan from the burner and add the cheese, stirring in small amounts. Add salt, pepper, mustard, and hot sauce. Variation: For the vegetables, use 1 white onion, 2 cups of broccoli, 3 carrots, and 4 potatoes, peeled and finely diced. Also, add 5 oz of diced ham with the chicken stock. (The ham will release water and salt as it cooks, so adjust seasonings accordingly.) Edited October 1, 2023 by Page Scrawler 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
