Traditionally it’s leftover cooked cabbage and mashed potato with bacon. Jamie’s version is a posh cheffy version. It’s even better topped with a fried egg :D
That actually sounds good because I love sour crout with mashed potatoes. I always have to have a bite of the crout with a bit of mashed potatoes at the same time. Brussel sprouts would be just as good. To get the squeak I could use beef bacon.?

She said a lot of people did a double take when passing her. Some people in the parking lot stopped to ask about her and asked her name. A little girl at the feed store kept petting her. I was waiting for someone to snap a picture and put it on our local FB page talking about how country some people are.
Every year I see people that dress up their pet chicken for various holidays. Why not a turkey?☺️

I was going to show y’all a video of Bobert singing/hollering on Emogene’s shoulder right before she left, but I guess videos aren’t allowed.
I have it posted on Facebook on our farm page, Creeping Acres Farm, if you want to see it.

Maggie,
With all that’s going on in California right now.. I’m thinking that little cactus ? is showing his appreciation for you getting his a** ..outta there 16 years ago… ?

How beautiful his flower is!
Be nice to it…
Water it…
Talk to it…
Hug..???….
No … don’t do THAT!
Well…. I hope you get the idea…
Treat it well and it will continue to surprise you with beautiful flowers ?

Is he white or gray???
My eyes are old now…?
But I CAN see that he is gorgeous.
I’m off to find the video on fb. ?

Good morning all.
Another week begins with mixed weather.
I've had the stitches from my shoulder removed this morning - all good so far; still waiting for the results but I'm optimistic that they'll be fine.
Lola is out and about, he didn't eat much yesterday but he's making up for it today.

I'd better make a start on a few chores I've been putting off so I'll see you later.
Have a good Monday.

Good evenooning all. I have spent the day with my in laws which was less trying than average. We had the journey from hell to get home… really bad traffic. We have had dinner and now I must bid you goodnight.
Glad the visit was better.. hate that it had to be topped with traffic ordeal.. hopefully today is much better:)

I finally got up the courage to get my SD card ready to activate my trail camera and guess what... For once it went halfway decent using my computer ? tomorrow I'll be doing the activation on my phone. That stuff is always stressful because I'm so computer illiterate. We'll see ?

I'm looking forward to the pics. Happy birthday Cinder! It seems like yesterday that you got her. The saying is too true. Time flies when you're having fun.?
