Thanks all! Who else can we get to post?

@baymule That duckling IS very cute! I love those colors. But really, a NOSY chicken? (Lol! Is there any other kind??)

Tell your husband - great minds think alike. I've also got one called dumpling and soup and fried and baked... I need to name one Enchilada though :lol

Hey, haven't visited here in a while.

One of my white ducks. This one is called Aussie

Two ducks caught kissing on cctv

Swede when a duckling! Aww "peep peep peep peep!"

 

[NH Homesteader]

Nope, Dominiques! Well mama is, baby is at least half but didn't keep track of who laid which eggs! And thank you, we love the breed.

@DarkRaven, I really like the picture of the two ducks kissing. Their heads and necks form a natural heart. Cool.

Bay, they are beautiful!!! And they look so very contented in this pic...makes a person want to be a pig, huh? Just maxin' and relaxin' in my water pan....

Here's a pic of peppers, prior to being canned into fire jam.

Hm, @Beekissed, Fire jam sounds like something my husband would really like... Is it like green pepper jelly? Served with crackers and cream cheese?

I don't know...but it sure would taste good with crackers and cream cheese, as I've had with both, but just not together at the same time.

It's normally called hot pepper butter, sort of like apple butter but using hot peppers instead, but I renamed it fire jam because folks always ask if it has butter in it when you call it hot pepper butter. It's used as a sandwich spread, sauce or dip on just about anything you want to eat it on. We started making it back in the 70s and I found I didn't want to live without it anymore, so we keep a good supply in stock at all times. I've not run out of fire jam since the 70s, so that tells you how good this stuff really is.

You can make it as hot or mild as you want, merely by using all hot banana peppers or mixing the hot with sweet banana peppers. It has yellow mustard, brown sugar and vinegar in it and is thickened with corn starch.

I'll post a few pics of it....

In the jar...

..and on toasted homemade bread, with grits!
