We have a new baby chick!
Our nesting hen has been taking good care of her eggs. She's been sitting on 5 of them and one hatched two days ago. Steve went into the coop to feed everyone and refresh their water and our black nesting hen was making noises. He lifted her chest to check her eggs and out popped a nice fluffy chick that must have hatched the night before. The chick was moving well and chirping nicely.
Last night, arrived home and hopped on the tractor. I drove around the farm while following Steve. He picked up all the branches that had fallen in the last storms we had a few nights ago. Bucket after bucket full. I love driving the tractor, it's a lot more fun than a golf cart!
Picked another cucumber, yellow wax beans and a lb. of snow peas. I grilled some shrimp, that was marinated in lime juice, cilantro, green onion, grated ginger, olive oil and minced garlic. Then I blanched the snow peas and tossed them with 1 TBSP of Thai Fish Sauce, 2 TBSP soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil and served them over a bed of rice noodles with the shrimp on top.
On the side I whipped up a cucumber salad : Sliced cucumbers, 1/4 cup of rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 1 green onion, sliced; and 1/4 tsp Saracha chili sauce just for kick! Blend all ingredients in a shallow bowl, let stand for at least 30 minutes in the fridge, then serve.
