Yep. I have everything fenced in. I open the gate in late fall so they can get in and clean things up a bit as well as fertilize. When planting starts in the spring, the gate gets closed. A couple years ago I was doing some harvesting and forgot to close the gate when I went in the house. That...

You could always dehydrate them. I started doing it a few years ago. So far this year I have 4 pint jars filled with dried egg. I get about 3 dozen in each jar. You won't be able to have sunny-side up but you can make omelets, scrambled or use it in any recipe calling for egg. I scramble the...

Nothing but overcast and drizzle here. :(

Ours must have been at the same party. :D

We had about half of a 14lb ham left over from Christmas. I cut up about 2lbs of it, ran it through a food processor and made ham salad. Canned 4 pints.

I use the latest version of FF and I have 4 tabs open right now. Links or forum buttons react immediately when I click on them and I don't see any reduction in speed. It just seems odd to see that little green circle spinning all the time. :hu
