As I took the tray of sprouts out to the chickens I pulled some weeds as I went and added them to the tray. Some grass (ripped to less than 6” in length), and some henbit (purple flowers). Hello spring!

Snek
We can tell when my eldest’s corn snake is hungry because he “hunts”. He just peeks his head out of the shavings and stares into his feeding cage. (We have a separate clear container in his main cage where we put the thawed mouse, so he doesn’t ingest aspen shavings with his dinner.)
Seriously adorable. For those of us that like snakes.
One year anniversary
Happy Anniversary to me! One year ago today I published my first blog post! This is my 367th post. (I had a couple days where I doubled, oops.)
I really enjoy blogging, and I’m pleased that I’ve kept to my subject. (Or rather, I’m glad I picked a subject broad enough to cover enough material!) It has helped that WordPress lets me schedule posts, so on days where I have five ideas it makes up for the several days that I have none. And in case you were wondering, I post in the wee hours of the morning Central Time because scheduling is my friend and internet traffic bogging everything down during prime times is not.
Thank you to those that have been with me the whole year, and welcome to those who started reading part way through. Thank you to those who have contacted me, I appreciate your thoughts!
Here is to another year! Prost!
Egg casserole
We’ve been lax on egg consumption, and even though the hens aren’t laying as many eggs, the numbers are still building up. Egg casserole to the rescue!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Hot sausage (ground)
- 12 small eggs (or 10 large eggs)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend)
- 3 Stoplight bell peppers (yellow, red, orange)
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Salt and pepper
Cook sausage on medium heat, use a spatula to break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, add milk and cheese and stir to combine. Chop the garlic and onion. Wash and chop the peppers. Cook vegetables with sausage until onions are translucent. Mix sausage, vegetables, and egg mixture. Grease a 9”x13” pan and pour in combined ingredients. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes. Reheats well!
Note to self…
Note to self, don’t buy the Santa stamps next year just in case the holiday cards don’t get sent until a week after New Years. Like this year. Ah well, they did get out, and I hope they brightened a few mailboxes.
I do like sending holiday cards. They are good practice designing images for cards, and this year I had my kids not only help with ideas, but actually get into Illustrator and assist with making elements. And addressing envelopes is good hand writing practice for me. Even if they go out late.
