I am offering chicken, quail, turkey and duck egg incubator/hatching services. You provide YOUR eggs and I will hatch them for you! You only pay for the eggs/chicks that hatch. I use a GQF Digital Sportsman Cabinet Incubator 1502 and a GQF Digital Hatcher 1550. Contact me for availability. If you need advice on proper hatching egg handling please ask! We want you to have a perfect hatch!

* Eggs must be no older than 4 days old
* Eggs must be stored pointy end down
* Chicks must be picked up within 24 hours of hatching

The cost for hatching each live birth:

Quail Eggs - $ .50/each live birth

Duck Eggs - $1.50/each live birth

One of my traditional Thanksgiving side dishes is Pea Salad. My dad’s mom, Mema Johnson, made this dish all the time when I was growing up. It’s quick and easy and it is a light dish, not too heavy like most high carb Thanksgiving dishes.

I don’t really measure out this recipe. I use quantities based on my liking and taste. Some people like more of this and less of that. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and fold it all together! Cover and refrigerate the salad. It can be made a day ahead of time.

Do you ever wonder where your food is sourced from?  I do.  I recently found out the brand of jarred, minced garlic that I purchase comes from China.  China is the world's largest producer and exporter of garlic.  The more I researched the more I realized how hard could it be to find American-grown minced garlic in the states?  It wasn’t hard at all. California is a big grower of garlic.

So, basically, this treat is a marriage between cornbread and cake without the icing. A winter favorite and perfect with your favorite pot of beans. My favorite beans are butter beans with ham!

Mix all ingredients well and pour into a greased 9” x 9” pan. Cook at 350 for about 45 minutes.
