Roast in the Crock Pot

Posted on September 18, 2012 by

This morning I went to the grocery store and picked up a roast. Came home and put it in the crock pot to slow cook all day. I season it with garlic salt and pepper, chopped up some fresh onion and celery put it all in the pot added 6 cups of water set on high to cook all day.

When to roast is done I remove it and the celery and onion leaving the broth. Place on a plate. Measure out 2 cups of broth in a bowl. Add 2 packages of brown gravy mix. Mix with a wire whip. Then pour back into the crock pot and stir with the rest of the broth.

Place the roast,celery and onions back in the pot to simmer. I also use a can of mixed veggies drained. Gravy will thicken. Serve when ready.

Enjoy

First batch of chicks

Posted on September 17, 2012 by

This is my first attempt at raising chickens in over 20 years. The last time I had chickens was back around 1989, 1990 and 1991. Over the past 20+ years I have forgotten a lot about raising chickens, but I am sure things will come back.

On the morning of Saturday February 25, 2012 a friend of the family called my wife and told her that Circle Three Feed in Jasper Texas has chicks. My wife and I grabbed a laundry basket to put the chicks in, then we headed to the feed store.

Upon arriving at the feed store, the lady that was helping us said the chicks were Black Giants, but the proper name was probably Black Jersey Giant.

The plan is to have at least 2 different types of chickens.

While my wife and I were at the feed store, we picked up:

Water dispenser that screws onto a mason jar
Feed dispenser that screws onto a mason jar
10 pounds chick starter
