Chicken Surprise
No, this is not a recipe for a mouth-watering chicken dish, but a brief snapshot into how animals keep their own time.
It is a sure sign that Spring is not too far away when you find this in the barn...
The ducks, not as keen as the chickens, have also started laying. They, however, drop their eggs all over the yard. Some in the garden. One under the tractor wheel (oops). I think, though, that if the past is any indication, they will settle down and find a secure place any day.
The sheep are about to lamb and the rabbits are nesting as I type. The few turkeys that remain are also laying a surprising number of eggs. The next month here at the farm will be full of new additions!
OK, OK...Here is a recipe!
CHICKEN SURPRISE
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
4 c. thinly sliced potatoes
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 tsp. pepper
8 oz. sausage
Wow! Here I was, thinking about what to fix for supper and wondering "What can I do with this sausage that isn't too breakfast-y?" Before I started cooking I decided to log on to check my blog, and here's your entry and this recipe! Supper solved. Thanks! :-)
