My Mom used to make Welsh Rarebit.....we loved it. She served it with great flourish....we felt like gourmets.
But it was an end of the week dish....when the cupboard was getting bare. Served here with arugula salad.

Yeah. I think those contests are horrible insults to the people who are dumb enough to take part, and to personal health.
I think one would have to be a little nuts to take part in something like that.
Besides: it’s gross to watch.
Ping for later...
They sure didn’t have any problem dive-buzzing me every time I went out to refill the feeders! I really do miss them.
They always come back :-)
Yeah, just not where we are now. {{{{sniff}}}}
There are lots of nice Winter birds and year-around ones, on the Eastern Seaboard - and if you’re still in Florida, you’ve probably got an amazing collection:
I’m courting a beautiful Cardinal, right now ;-)
He and his missus have been with me all summer; and they stay around here all year. They are very smart and discriminating birds, and take a while to get used to you; but once they do, they’ll come to you when you’ve accustomed them to food and call them.
You’ve probably got them down there - put out some hulled safflower seed and black-oil Sunflower seed:

I gave my sister all my hummingbird feeders though as she has a nice backyard at her house so at least they are being put to good use. My other seed feeders I gave to a friend who still lives in Charlotte. I so enjoyed getting to know all the critters we would get there. We even had a deer camp out under our dining room window one day!

Looks yummy.
I wonder what the reason is for not even allowing plants? That seems weird.
When it rains and is windy, the dirt and items can fly off and impact the units below as well as the city sidewalks and streets. That’s my guess.
Right; I didn’t think of that.
When I was young my friend’s mother always had Stouffer’s Welsh rarebit in the freezer. The first time she made it for us as a snack I thought it was so glamorous & sophisticated. I haven’t had it in forever. Now I want some. Going to see if Kroger has it in the frozen section.
I need to start filling our feeders. I love your story about Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal. So, if they don’t fly south, what do they do & where do they live????
Northern Cardinals don’t migrate, though they have been pushing their territories more northerly.
They’re here all year. Usually they come around me more in the Winter, but this Summer they’ve been here all the time. They are seed and berry eaters in Winter, and they especially like Black Oil Sunflower seeds and Safflower seeds. They are wary and circumspect compared with other birds but eventually get used to birdfeeders and people.
They mate for life, and if you see the bright red male, the female is usually very nearby.
Stouffers made everything it seems.
Liz, remember when Top of the Sixes served Stouffers food along with its cocktails?
We should talk about how it got the name “Welsh Rabbit”. I don’t know the answer to it.
