glencoe egg company start-up

Noah Read and Sebastian Wolfrum arrived at this out of no where but are even more committed to make it work out.

Currently we are working on our Chicken Coop: http://www.organicgardening.com/pdf/coop_plans.pdf

So far we have purchased some more chicken fence, five day old chicks at $2.75 with Farm Services Inc in Graham, Purina Mills Starter & Grower 25 lbs feed bag at $9.95, feeder and water bases for Mason jars at a total of $7.

Currently the chicks live in a cardboard box with paper towel flooring, water, feed and two Ikea halogen lights that keep one of the corners at a comfortable 95F.

Chocolate Chip Cookies (second attempt)

Still working with the Toll House recipe.

three things have changed:
a) less butter by one stick = -50%
b) used a spoon of warm water to dissolve the backing soda
c) baked at 325F which extended the time to 18min

the cookies are more compact and thicker.
at the same time dryer and firmer as you bite into one.
