Gluten-free Double Chocolate Cookies

I'm still under the weather, so I thought I'd take it easy again and share a link to a blog with a fantastic recipe for gluten-free double chocolate cookies. Try them with a cup of pecans mixed in they're even better.

Under the Weather

   We've got a Blue Norther blowing in today. Mom and I moved some of the potted plants into the greenhouse or under the eaves of the porch. We watered and covered the plants in the garden, here's hoping it'll work. I'm under the weather, I've been trying to catch something for a couple of days now; ironically I caught it when I got a flu shot. At first I thought I was a little sick from the shot, but I'm pretty sure it's cold. I'm taking it easy now and depending on how I feel I might not write a post on Thursday. My brain seems to have been push out by sinus pressure. It seems to get worse at night fall and I'm declining rapidly now.

A lamp for the chicks

This is a post I meant to write a while ago but all the Halloween stuff kind of pushed it to the wayside.
    Anyway, not long after we put the 'Surprise Chicks' into the brooder pen we got a cold front. We got nervous about them, but there were too many and too large to move back in the house so we put a heat lamp in there. It attracted a lot of bugs. And after the two nights we were able to leave the lamp off.
 




   I was worried that having a light on them all night would mess up their sleeping habits. I shouldn't have. Thanks to the cooler weather we've been able to sleep with our windows open without sweltering, and I can hear the chicks shuffling around. All night.
 It's been a couple of weeks and sometimes I still get up to check on them; sure that I'm going to find a opossum or a coyote trying to help themselves to a squab dinner. Nope. Just a bunch of teenage chickens looking at me like I'm crazy.
  The first time I thought it was because the moon was close to full and it a very bright night. A few nights later I learned that was not the case. They are even louder on pitch black nights. They bashed into things more and there was a bunch of screaming, like they were being attacked, as sleeping chicks got stepped on by chicks blundering around in the dark.
   What are they doing at night you ask? Eating. Their feeders are empty every morning.      
  Adult chicken might sleep pretty soundly, but teenagers will keep you up at night. And wake you up early as the young roosters try to crow. It sounds like someone being choked, loudly.

One Year Anniversary

  I can't believe it's been a year since I opened Bats Bizarre with a few pieces of jewelry and a dial up connection; hoping I could make a little money still have time for my writing. Now I have 41 items for sale and plans for more, broadband, and have made 8 sales.
  A lot has happened.
   Originally I thought I might clean some of the old clothes from my closet, but they either aren't that good looking, they used to belong to relatives with questionable taste, or aren't in that good of shape. And I didn't know how to price them, anyway.
  The original patterns I've created are the first time I've made up a pattern with an end in mind that I stuck with.
   When I started bats bizarre I didn't even know what polymer clay was.
   I'm going to start packaging my item like this for shipping.
