CocoNUT - New Addition....

[bonbean01]

I've never had goat, but now I'd like to try it.

Take care of yourself Coco...no back peddling with your health just because you're feeling better...don't push it!

I am the opposite! Chickens one of the meats I'm not fond of....mainly something about chicken bones grosses me out.

 

[CocoNUT]

Brownsheep - i understand. I'm actually not that fond of chicken. Right after I had the Evil One...I didn't eat chicken for over a year! Didn't miss it ONE bit. Growing up, we had chicken most of the time - with red meat on weekends. Go figure, I'm VERY anemic! So now...I eat more red meat. Besides...I've always found grocery store chicken (poultry really) to be "slimy" to prepare. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get to process my OWN chickens...then I can taste the difference. But for now...we have chicken very occasionally....I still make beef or lamb more often. Hmmm....I might need to get some meat sheep!

Bon - goat definitely has a 'stronger' taste. It's not bad, just strong. Like lamb...a lot of people don't like it cause of it's stronger flavor. (I personally love it!) I'm a HUGE fan of ANYTHING drowned in garlic and onions...especially with tomatoes! YUM. Of course Evil doens't like garlic or onions either. Sometimes I wonder if she's REALLY my child! I mean if I hadn't been there for her birth...or if I had lost conciousness...I would SERIOUSLY wonder!

I'm wanting to prepare some rabbit nuggets with the same consistency as chicken nuggets...and feed them to EVIL...just to expand her pallet a little. She doesn't have a problem with me processing the rabbits...as long as I save her the fur (I do skin them) to make her something with it! She's so weird!

Bridge - it was yummy! DH liked it too. You would've laughed at me fighting with that shoulder though! It really WAS funny...

No I can just picture it Coco, and I am laughing! Because Tim was doing the same thing, with the hack saw, to get it into the crock pot, lol.

*jumps on soap box*
I swear...why can't things just be "simple"....why do people have to make things so difficult for themselves and others?
And how STUPID are people...that others think they can get away with this crap?! I swear!
I mean really....if our percription plan covers ONLY "preventative" medications...and not 'management' medications....then why is asthma medication covered and diabetes testing supplies aren't? REALLY? Both "conditions" are LETHAL if left untreated. Oh...Oh...OH...and IF you're going to complain about a coworker NOT "doing their job"...you BETTER have evidence to support your claim. Otherwise said employee might just hang you out to dry.... Amateur! (At least KNOW your opponent first!)
I swear...have we become so complacent and set on "mediocracy" in this country that this CRAP actually WORKS?!!!
*ok...I'm stepping off the soap box now....*

Bad day at work Coco?

 

[CocoNUT]

NAAAW....what would make you think THAT?!
Just stupid people annoy me sometimes! But hey....what are you going to do huh? Oxygen thieves...that's what DH calls them...(but that's only MY opion/version).
***************************************
Ok...so Miss Evil was a spaz yesterday. I mean SERIOUSLY...running around the house in circles...screaming at the top of her lungs...wild look in her eyes! She hasn't had her meds for the better part of a week...and the last of it apparently had worn off a day or so ago. Had to take her into school late today so we could pickup her new perscription and give her some BEFORE sending her off to school again. Anyone who doesn't believe ADHD is a "real" condition should have been at our house last night! Poor thing...you could SEE it in her eyes and hear it in her voice...just how "out of control" she was. Poor thing..."mommy...I can't make my brain stop....I can't stop jumping/running/screaming"...(and she normally IS well-behaved...)
It's a GOOD thing she's so cute! All I could think of (at bedtime) was STRAIGHTJACKET. I'm really hoping she does grow out of this....

 

[Pearce Pastures]

PREACH it! I am guilty though and karma bites---I used to think ADHD was just parents who didn't know how to discipline their kids. Then I had Ben I am a strong disciplinarian and believe in a balance of positive reinforcement and appropriate consequence....he believes his hands are airplanes and that crumbling a piece of pavement under his desk makes more sense than doing his math. It is one of those you don't understand until you experience it yourself I guess because there are plenty of people who think like I did (actually, that popular family psychologist guy whose book is on my shelf thinks it is made up too--- ).

You sure we aren't related?! I asked Evil to feed the bunnies downstairs...I hear her screaming and carrying on...things being moved around..scampering...cats screaming....and ALL I can think is "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW...."
It's time to do homework....oh no...it's time to go to the bathroom for the 50th time...or brush our teeth...or change our clothes...or...or....or!
I have ADHD too...but DANG...she takes it to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL sometimes! (I REPEATEDLY tell my mom that I REALLY don't know how she and my father ALLOWED me to survive into adulthood!)

 

[Pearce Pastures]

I feel your pain. They act like things like "go to the bathroom" are new concepts, a surprise, a total bombshell dropped on them, right?! It will get better. I mean, I know I am still easily distracted but I =====sorry, saw a bird. But really, I think I get a lot done because I am constantly moving onto something else. The learning curve was in making myself come back to the first project, and our kids will get there.

When I went to Herdstock, I was so trying to reign it it but it slipped a few times and Autumnpraire I know was laughing a bit (I believe I got distracted by the river rising and hummingbird).
