Mmmmm Key Lime pie...
I think while the bread is rising ... Hmmm no limes - but a bag of lemons - Sounds like I will be making a Lemon Meringue pie instead... Chickens are producing about 20 eggs a day now - gotta use ‘em.
***Had the same situation last year. Really wanted a key lime pie but didn’t have any. I looked outside at our beautiful lemon tree and thought, why not! Used the lemons and it was great. Ya gotta try it sometime.
Wish we had chickens...those that do have them have been “grandfathered.” Anyone moving in around here can’t since 2001 (I believe). We’re outside the city limits but since the city keeps getting closer the county laid down the law. Nothing like a good “home grown” egg.***
1. Pie was great!
2. Couldn’t find anything closer than San Antonio -
* Laws - As of April, 2008
o You can keep chickens in San Antonio with some limits on the number:
+ Five (5) poultry confined to a pen 20 ft. from another dwelling.
+ Twelve (12) poultry confined to a pen 50 ft. from another dwelling.
+ Fifty (50) poultry confined to a pen 150 ft. from another dwelling.
Everybody keeps saying ‘We are a nation of Laws’ Geeesh the Libertarian in me says can them laws!
I always thought a prime example was one Nebraska law that required that when approaching an intersection in an automobile, you were to fire into the air three times and mount the highest ground near the intersection and look for any horses/wagons before proceeding.
