speaking of xmas presents... My MIL was sweet and sent us presents.  However the present she sent for the kiddo it's like she thinks my kid is 4 or 5 tops, vs 14.  I'm trying to be nice and just think, ya know she doesn't have to buy my kid anything.  She's never met the kid.  She maybe never will, who knows.  sigh... 

Maybe donate that stuff and swap it out with something more age appropriate.

You can buy like 500,000 acres in Alaska for 1 gazillion dollars. 

That's 1 acre per chicken....

Otherwise she's getting a book and a few clothes. 

 

Mine get so much from the grandparents that we get them something small.  I've been trying to persuade them to buy less, because the kids just don't need that much.

Apple pie is in the oven courtesy of help from the older child.  She's been asking non-stop about making a pie since we canned the apples.  I'm excited to see how it turns out because my previous forays into apple pie using fresh apples many years ago were not successful.

[SAT 9,609]

Apple pies are great  if you make them outta pumpkin  

 

[Ontarkie 14,217]

I made a pumpkin for the Hillbilly, and cherry for me

 

The kids will actually have so much food tomorrow with all my baking nobody will actually make it to pie tomorrow.

Anyone have tips for getting rolled out pie dough from the table into the pie tin? I think the only thing I haven’t tried is selling my soul to the devil and that deal is looking intriguing since my pie crusts are always Picasso’d together....

WCG (World's Cheapest Gringo), who is visiting, prepared the perfect Sweet Potato pie this eve, ingest we man.

We normally run when someone makes a SP pie, but this time we asked for seconds, re-ingest we man.

We can consult WCG regarding your question, si LB ma'am, but our consulting fees are $Many/hour.

Ok...legendary math time...

20 eggs a day, what's that about 2 dozen? 

At 3 dollars a dozen, that's 5 dollars a day. 

In 200,000 days, you'd have exactly 1...million dollars!

Woohoo!...

OK... remedial P-math time...

Many eggs a day = approx. 2 Manyzen, oj tak

At $Many* a Manyzen, that's $Many a day, oj tak

In Many days, you'd have exactly $Many, oj tak!

 

 

*And who spends $Many per Manyzen, good grief man?!  We spend under $1 per Manyzen or refuse to buy, adamant we man.

Now speaking of Stretch, I figured out how she can make Many dollars really fast...

All she's gotta do is get ManyManyMany,000 chickens. 

If they laid 1 Manyzen eggs each, say over a 2 week time frame...

At Many bucks a Manyzen, that's ManyManyMany,000 dollars! 

Then for the other Many, she can sell Many of the ManyMany0,000 chickens at 1 dollar each. 

ManyManyMany,000+Many= 1 gaManyon. 

Voila!

Free P-math lesson above, incorrigible man.

And we repeat:  Who is loco enough to pay $Many for merely a Manyzen eggs, huh man?

Big Sister looked at her little brother at the Thanksgiving dinner table and said, "Billy, if you eat one more piece of that pumpkin pie, you'll burst!"

Billy replied, "OK, Sis -- pass the pie and get out of the way!"
