I love meeting / learning about new cultures.

There's a Hindu gas station owner near us. He has us bring a goat kid into his store every spring so he can use it to 'bless' his establishment.

Some Persians may be offended if you ask them for a recipe. Most are more than willing to share some of their culture.. My cousins are half Persian, their paternal Grandmother was very eager to teach me how to make any dish she was creating. I suppose it has to do with how well you know them. Persians are extremely friendly and helpful people

I'm not gonna ask for the recipe, just the name of the "cookie". Family brings them to them when they come here to visit, so I'm not sure if they're made by family or purchased over there and brought.

Their home is covered in Persian rugs...on the floor, hanging on the walls. Beautiful, authentic rugs. My mom was fascinated by their tea cups...they were pretty neat.

He wants to get goats and sheep. I invited him to both here and BYC for more information of everything that he is getting in to. From what my mom says he wants to open a custom butcher shop as that is what he did in the "old country". I hope he's able to do it and make it a success. I've seen several custom butcher shops open and close around the central Ohio area. But that niche is making a comeback right now.

Yeah, it's 12 mystery eggs (assuming duck) in the bator. I really hope he didn't cook them!

The duck eggs should be fine. They may hatch a couple hours early, but he didn't cook them.

The temperature inside of the eggs was probably not 102*. It takes a while for them to warm to that temperature inside. I wouldn't get too worried unless the temperature was over 105*. I have heard of one person who hatched duck eggs and had a spike of 114* and his eggs still hatched.

Thank you!

I was SO MAD at him!

You are welcome. I just edited my post for more details. I can imagine how mad you must have been, I probably wouldn't have been too happy either.

Life with boys.

I think your eggs will be ok.

Did you threaten him with death and dismemberment? lol, my son once got into the molasses.......he was supposed to be napping, but woke up while I was in the shower. He took a quart of molasses and poured into a pound of sugar and then "painted" with it. My walls, my table, my cabinet, my fridge...the windows.

My other son turned off my brooder once, I found three bitties smothered in the bottom of the pile. As I worked on the living bitties, I told my then 5 year old that if he ever touched my brooder again it would be death and dismemberment for him . He laughed at me. The next day he told his Sunday school teacher that I said if he did it again I would just kill him and disremember him.

*note: I am NOT an abusive parent. I would definately not kill and disremember anyone.
