Hello from Chicken Land!

Cluck Cluck....
              Roosters are crowing too!

 

 

 

 



It's a dark and grey and a rainy morning in the Midwest.  Storms overnight but, we really needed the rain to replenish the water tables in the ground. Depending upon a well this summer was not the best thing.  Hauling water became the thing to do...because the well kept going dry if we didn't haul water.  City folks probably can't imagine turning on the water faucet and "Presto" no water.  But, country folks get used to that and especially during dry periods.




I'm including a couple of pictures to show how it looks on the farm this early morning.  Taken at about 7:30 am.  Dark and gloomy.

 

 

 

Breakfast is Ready...Come And Get It!

 

This morning's breakfast included what my mama always called Denver Omelet Sandwiches.  She  would take chopped onions and fry them a bit, chopped up some cooked bacon and chopped some ham and browned that too. Cool a bit and dump the goodies in the scrambled eggs and pour a small amount in a stick-free pan and keep swirling around so the thin omelet doesn't get thick in places.  When it looks a bit brown on the bottom, flip it and cook on the other side. 

 

What a sandwich.  And, when you pair it with good old fried potatoes, seasoned with cajun seasoning salt and paprika to make 'em brown, you just can't wait to sit down to eat the whole thing.

 

 

I was raised on these and so were my kiddies and now my grandkiddies are the recipients of their mama's cooking skills.  Denver omelets are just the thing to get you going out in the country.  Especially when the weather gets colder.  Stick to the ribs goodies.

 

 

 

Before long the hunt for the perfect Christmas cookie and candy recipes will begin out on the farm.  Presents from this farm always include a big plate of cookies and various candies.

 

You haven't tasted rural life until you bite into a big fat home made caramel or a piece of peanut butter fudge.  Made the old fashioned way and not from a box mix.

 

So stick around to see all that happens out in the sticks.  You might learn how to click the sticks to light a fire or how to make your soil better or just about anything else that helps Mother Nature be better.

 

Hope your day is full of good times and good things.  Until we meet again folks!

 

Ya'll come back again!
