I tried it out on the dog - not much bounce to it Yeah but there ain't no finer pastries and such made with anything less than a hardwood rolling pin. If you do good that piece of kitchen equipment will pay you handsome rewards in the future. If you screw up. it will beat lumps into the side of your skull just as easily, (don't ask how I know).

Olivetroad Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 David, When I saw the title on this thread I thought maybe she downloaded number six just in time to claim another exemption.My accountant told her to try and get that done. He got the stink eye.She is due with num 6 on the 13th of June. I am reminded of it daily.We eat two loaves of bread a day - she bakes about 1/3 of themWe drink a gallon of milk a day - definitely NOT farm raised - been there, done thatWe use 18 eggs a day (farm raised)We eat two fat calves a year (farm raised)We eat a hog every four months (farm raised)We also buy a lot of toilet paperIf we had to buy all that food, I have no idea what it would cost.

Olivetroad Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Have you figured out where there coming from yet?I am trying to figure it out - I have a plan:First, I wait until the birth announcement comes out in the local paper. Second, I flip through the back issues until I find the one for 9 months before and see if there was any big news that day. Third, I calculate the phase of the moon and see if that was to blame.Fourth, I read the almanac to see if that week was a good time to wean calves or not.Fifth, I check the old local train schedules to see if the circus was in town that week - you gotta watch them clownsAfter all this, the only thing I know for sure after all this research is that it always happens at night, and at night it is dark outside.I am starting to worry that I may not be able to figure this out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did almost get a whack when she caught me with a dirty spoon eating the sausage gravy leftovers right out of the skillet when I was supposed to be doing the dishes.

I'll stop and pick something up alongside 54 on the way down. Plenty of coon, rabbit, squirel, deer, dog, and whatever else suits your fancy. I'm not particular myself so give me advance notice so I can keep an eye out and bring a clean shovel.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

other dog Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I actually screwed up boiling water the other day. I have no business being anywhere NEAR a kitchen. Use your grill then. I actually cooked a delicious pot roast entirely on the grill yesterday.I threw the roast on the grill and browned it good on both sides, then I transfered it into an aluminum foil lined aluminum roasting pan, added potatoes, onions, a can of carrots, and a can of beast broth. Covered the pan with more foil, couple hours later it was done. And good too! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Were you trying to make tea with those leaves from around your front porch?Nah...poison ivy really doesn't taste like much of anything, so it probably wouldn't make a very good tea. I was trying to boil some water to drop a coffee packet or two in to make some quick coffee without having to take the time to clean the coffee maker. It hadn't quite got to boiling yet when the water exploded up out of the pan, sending hot water all over the stove top, counter, and floor. Even after it popped like that, it still wasn't boiling, so I have no friggin clue WHAT happened....just that water in a pot with a little heat under it shouldn't do that.Unfortunately, most of the water that WAS in the pan was no longer in the pan, so I had to refill the pan and start over.
