There are smaller breeds of sheep... One, the "baby doll" southdowns are a small breed. We used to just call them old english southdown sheep til someone in the "cute petsy mindset" called them " baby dolls" and I guess it stuck. Also shetland sheep are a small breed and I think there is a fairly rare breed in france or england called Breton? would have to look it up. Cheviot are not mini but they are also a smaller breed.

Re: the gumbo. I had okra tonight with tomatoes, but would live to try what you have shown there. What did you say the other veggies were?

Besides the okra, you use celery, onions and bell peppers. That's pretty typical of most Cajun dishes plus I usually add some of my jalapenos but didn't this time since I was cooking for others as well as us.

Looks delish!

celery, onions and bell peppers

@Pastor Dave that's the "Cajun holy trinity"

Mike, have you had gumbo with crawfish in it? Mmmm so good!

 

[Mike CHS]

I haven't made it with crawfish but used to get it at several places when I lived in Pensacola.

 

[RollingAcres]

I haven't had crawfish anything since I moved up to NY 9 years ago...

We heard the chickens making a lot of noise and when we went out to see what was going on the first thing we noticed was that all 6 of the 3 week old chicks were nowhere to be seen. We went around the field adjacent to their pen and found no sign of feathers or anything.

Thats terrible! Maybe they will show up later? I hope so.

 

[RollingAcres]

Oh no! I hope you find them soon.
