Ok, maybe not this year, but whenever I get my plum wine going I'll bring it to Jacob's Cave -What is this, a chickens and hooch fest?!lol
Missouri ChickenStock at Jacob's Cave.
well yea.
LOL, I meant Pinot Grigio!!!! Um, pink wine? She's talking about a blush I believe. St. James makes a decent cheap wine that's a blush. I believe it's called Catawba or sumpthin'. Personally, I prefer a good Romanian Pinot Grigio. Tastes wonderful! So.........who's bringing the good cheeses and crackers? LMAO ; )
Oh gosh yes and fresh bread and olive oil and B. vinegar. I learned that in Rome.
Pink wine (such as rose, blush) is usually not as sweet as the white zinfandel, which is the most commonly served pink wine. Lots of folks who don't like wines still enjoy white zinfandel because it's so sweet and fruity and served cold. Whereas many rose or blush wines are not sweet at all, although I enjoy those too. :-) That said, many Iowa wines are very sweet because we still have a young wine industry and sweet is easier. Catawba is a nice grape - I grow it myself.
I could bring some good cheeses. Someone else should bring some nice local crusty bread...
I will go this week and buy the wine I like and tell you. I have to see the bottle. I do not like wine except for this one, I can order some cheese from ummmmmm cant remember it is on the other computer, something like benchwood, very very good. We can have a wine and cheese party one afternoon.
I'll make you guys some cheese and send it along with Harmony. (She doesn't know she's going yet, shhh!)
Oh that would be AWESOME! Homemade cheese!!!
I am ordering it now.
Ok just ordered will be here with in 2 weeks
Classic Jalapeno white (very hot)
Classic 2- year Cheddar
Gouwe River Smoked Gouda
River Mill Smoked Cheddar
20 oz each block
Oh man, I'm gonna be drooling for days thinking about that line-up!
I wont bring it all lol will probably bring 1/2 each block. Oh their cheese is to die for. It is from Beechwood. Not bad price either, now the shipping and ser charge is a different matter.
A Wine and Cheese party. Do I need to dress up for this occassion. I have an old prom dress I think I can squeeze into.
We need T-Shirts for the Chicken and Hooch fest. Something with Dave's garden on the front of it and something crazy on the back. Maybe a Tangerine elephant???? Oh I know, my brother made a shirt for our float trip that says:
I've been to 4 snake catchings
3 skunk milkings
2 hog calling contests
and 1 county fair
but i ain't never seen nothin' like this before!
Something like that. We need to brain storm.
Sheila
Sounds good to me.
Here's my vote on the t-shirt. This is my current t-shirt and one of my chicks is helping me out with the modification. She is covering the upsidedown cow, that would be replaced by an upsidedown chick.
And instead of cow tipping it would say "chicken flipping"
:-)
Claire-
I would wear a chicken flippin' shirt. Chicken flippin' is that a cuss word, LOL. You have my vote.
Sheila
No chicken flippin is not a cuss word but Bird flippin is another subject.
Flippin' Chicken and Flippin' Bird could both be considered cursing. Call the animal abuse people...
That's why I didn't say "bird flippin'" or even "chick flippin" because I thought it could be misinterpreted. I figured that "chicken flipping' is pretty far from "flipping the bird" if you know what I mean!!!
Only too well,lol.
No flippin a chicken is considered takeing good care looking for lice, Sexing etc. While flippin birds could lead to a problem as some species are protected by law. Now flippin Tangerine Elephants is just cruel and i would never flip Ellie. Its okay Ellie i won't let these flippin folks hurt you.
All this flippin I'm gettin tired!
No flippin' way am I ever getting even close to flippin' an elephant. That's just plain dangerous!!! LOL!!!
Can I send peanuts to Ellie?
Yes but only organic she has a delicate digestion system and the store ones keep me running for the shovel and a gas mask LOL *Harmony*
ROTFL....elephant farts.....LOL....must be worse than greyhound farts!!!
Bring on the gas masks!
Well it's late here and i got to turn in got to get this elephant in her jammies. Do you know it took 3 king size sheets and 20 rolls of thread to make them and i slam burn't up my sewin machine. Well it was less material than the tube top i made her. C'mon Ellie we gotta go night night and i'll read the dumbo story again {she just loves it when i read to her} Well Good Night and god bless you all and your chickens and may all your eggs hatch your roosters be fertile and your pens full of the most beautiful birds GOOD NIGHT!!! *Harmony*
wow how do you write with pens full of birds... brain works funny at 2 am.. took a minute to figure that out.. all I wanted in my pen was a little ink but NOooo Harmony had to give me a bird.. oh well.
LOL Fran, didn't you know that the bird in the pen just makes the ink come out better?
I thought birds in the pen meant you didn't have money for ink
Sheila
ROTFL....true enough! I just ran out of layer pellets this morning. Guess I'm gonna have to go stand on a street corner and sing...
Sing for your supper and you'll get breakfast, songbirds always eeeeat.
Good Mornin and I'm southern and we call coops/cages Pens and thats not funny.
I call them pens too Harmony! Well, the outdoor part anyway. Just havin' fun with it!
me too.. but at 2 am.. I was thinkin ink pen... geez, have we lost our sense of humor here or what???
Just think what would happen if we hit 'pen feathers' -yesIknowit'smisspelled;)
I definitely have my sense of humor intact! I was laughin'
yep claire have a vision of the poor little chicken trying to blow the ink out the end of the pen for me apoligizing profusly for getting a feather in it while trying to fit as many birds in it as possible.. kind of like a VW bug college prank.
Welcome to my cartoon mind.. and nope, it doesn't have to be 2 am..

You know there are those beautiful "real" feather pens - the ones with the big long quill feather and the pointy end. My grandfather used to have one and he would dip it in ink. I don't know what kind of feather it was but it was very soft and poofy looking. Maybe an ostrich feather?
Harmony - we love your southern hospitality!
