Did you know...

...chickens like watermelon?  They really do!

The morning after this video was taken, cleanup from the previous night of debauchery was undertaken.  A big messy bowl of berries was on the table.  Nicky dumped the pile into the chicken pen.

Tip of the week: cutting fresh mozzarella

I got frustrated with cutting up fresh mozzarella.  It's so soft.  Cutting it with a knife is sloppy, inconsistent, and time consuming.  I tried using a grater, which obviously did very poorly.  What to do?  Egg slicer to the rescue!

The typical 8 oz. ball should be cut in quarters.
