    @nolaegghead That looks wonderful.  We are big on eggplant here, do you happen to have a recipe for the casserole?

    My favorite way to eat egg plant is to julienne, batter, and fry.  Simple but effective.

    I like eggplant sliced and grilled w some oil and ribeye seasoning.  

    There is also a restaurant called Anthony’s Coal fired pizza.  They do it in a pizza oven in long slices w a red sauce.  It’s amazing.

    Like long sticks, or flat slabs? That sounds good.

    Flat, wide, and thin slices.  They call it Eggplant Marino i.e. Dan Marino

    Here's a nice breakdown. Combo pan fried and baked...

    Baleage (storing hay in plastic @ a higher moisture content) allows you to bale hay that you ordinarily would need to dry more.  The fermentation does add nutritive value.  Would normally bale @ less than 20% moisture.  Baleage is normally between 40% and 60% moisture.

    Those are a type of bell boots.  These particular ones we keep on all the time because of how this horse lays down.  He folds his legs under and gets leg sores when he does not have the boots on.

    We also use different kinds of boots depending on what we are doing.  There are splint boots, support boots, hock boots, skid boots, standard bell boots, etc.

    You have no idea.  If you wanted just a play horse for trails and stuff, it wouldn't be so bad, but a competition horse is like outfitting a kid for soccer, hockey, football, kendo, swimming, and cheerleading.

    Yup, full size.  He is a phenomenal dog.  I have never had a dog so easy to train and so driven to please.  Only problem is he was destined for the UK, so they did not dock his tail.  With him being around horses and other livestock, I would have preferred a docked tail.  It makes a handy place for cows to bite and grab on to.  Aside from that, this might be the last breed I ever own.

    @HeavyG I doubt that.  I quit counting once I passed 100 pairs of her shoes.  And that's not counting all the running/walking shoes.  Periodically I toss out a pair of two of the runners/walker to cull the herd.  She has never commented which means she has never noticed.    B)

    The horses get new shoes and a pedicure every 8 weeks, but we toss out the old ones 😁

    Made some homemade salsa earlier for fajitas this evening. Forgot I touched the roasted jalapeno and scratched my eye. The burning is just now wearing off. ;)

    I have to laugh because my son has started prepping the ingredients for our meals.  Last week he diced a bunch of or fresh jalapeno for freezing.  He washed his hands, but not very well.  About 20 minutes later he rubbed his eyes.  He started freaking out and didn't know why his eyes were on fire.  It took about 20 min to get better.

    Ours is loyal to a fault. No livestock, just kids. She protects them more than any other breed I’ve seen. Very wary of strangers. She too is eager to please and extremely smart.
