* It seems as though Rooster thinks I'm his competition.  Today I was sitting out with the flock and two of the hens jumped up on the chair for petting.  Roo came up and began (not nicely) pecking at my leg and doing that macho dance he does.  Then a little later I was lifting one of the birds off the chair so I could get up and she squalked - Roos came unglued and raced for me menacingly.  I maneuvered around him and gathered him up uptil he calmed down.  I let him go and he strutted away not before shooting me a disgusted look.  :-)

*  I did something today that was really hard.  I called Home Depot and made an appointment for someone to come out and give me an estimate on siding and window replacement.  Normal people don't find a task like this hard.  I've been trying to do this little task for well over a year.  That and getting the A/C in my truck looked at (though I have a friend who is making that one a little easier), and finding out what's wrong with my well pump.  I'm really not positive I understand the neurosis, but I'm pretty sure it's fear of someone telling me something I don't want to hear ....... this is closely tied to money I think.  I really feel I should see a professional about it (I'll let you know how I progress with that task......) :-)

*  I'm almost done transferring my plastic storage containers to glass.  I'm using quart mason jars.  I'll have to make a list of what's where because the jars are three deep.  I like it better than the plastic bins though. 



*  Before I forget - please go here if for Interspecies Snorgling (you'll will not be able to stop saying Awwwwwww out loud) :-)

Hey, Chickie! I absolutely love the jars! I'm still trying to figure out what is in them. Looks great!

My roo is the only chicken I've raised that won't come near me. The only reason I've kept him is to annoy my neighbors (loooooong story), but he hasn't started crowing yet. I'm waiting.

Wow, your neighbors are annoyed and he hasn't even started crowing yet.... hahaha

My stuff is mostly assorted grains and beans. I rarely (almost never) eat meat, so I keep a big variety of other protein sources (and now I have eggs!) :-)

Same here - I'm always looking for more protein sources that aren't fake meat. I'm being really nosey here - :^) Is that kala chana? And what is next to it on the left? And what do you do with Marmite?

Top Shelf: Fava Beans, Kala Chana, Tea, Stevia
(and random stuff like spring roll skins, etc.)

2nd Shelf: Beechnut Cereal (overprocessed oats), Nescafe Instant Coffee, Red Lentils, hidden jars, Yerba Matte, Whole Oat Groats, Amaranth.

(behind is just more rice, beans, instant potatoes, etc.) :-)

3rd Shelf: Pure Lemon Powder, Lavender Blossoms (for flavoring tea), and veggie chips (see Fiesta posts), Marmite, Hemp Seed Protein Powder, and random canned items.

Whew!!

Marmite is from UK it's a savory salty yeasty spread. Normal people spread it on buttered toast. I eat peanut butter & marmite sandiwches :-)

Wow, thanks for the inventory. I love to go through people's pantries. I'm just a little food oriented.

I am now fascinated, yet cautious, of this Marmite.

It's very similar to Vegemite. Since Vegemite got bought about by Frankenfood Kraft I only buy Marmite now. It's better anyway.

I haven't been on PCOT in ages. I need to make a habit of logging on at least once a week. I love the people there, I just never seem to take the detour over there.
