We have BABIES!!!!!

-
Every once in a while one of the hens goes broody.  They sit on their eggs and are determined to have babies. They get VERY cranky and will peck at you and raise a fuss if you try to move them or "their" eggs.   There's a pretty involved process to go through to get them past this but once they've been broody, it's likely to happen again.  One of my blue laced girls has been broody several times and I couldn't stand to disappoint her again so I bought some fertilized eggs for her to hatch.  

Every day waiting for that tiny peep peep peep of chicks has been agony!   The wait ended this week!  I came home from work the other day and when I opened up the door to check on her THIS is what I saw!

Do you see it??  That tiny baby right next to her momma! 

It didn't take long for the others to hatch and now the coop is full of feathers and baby chirps!

This was my first attempt at tiramisu...It WILL be happening again!  Easy to make and absolutely delicious!  Tiramisu 4 large eggs, separated 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 16 ounces mascarpone cheese 1-1/2 cups brewed coffee 1/2 cup dark rum ( I used The Kracken ...because it's amazing!) 40 store-bought ladyfingers 1 cup heavy cream cocoa powder bittersweet chocolate In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in mascarpone until incorporated. Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold in beaten egg whites into mascarpone mixture. In a small bowl combine coffee and rum. Dip ladyfingers into coffee-rum mixture and lay in rows in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top. Make one more layer of ladyfinge

Idle Hands Being What They Are...

I've been trying to keep busy in between bouts of introspection and the craziness that comes with moving on, actually moving, divorce, and all the rest of life's craziness and decisions.  Working on this recycled paper basket has helped me pass the time at work.
