On The Subject of Eggs
Since I seem to be on a roll about eggs, I figured I might as well continue.
We collect eggs every day. Eggs are of course the perfect food. They are loaded with all sorts of vitamins, and is a good source protein. According to calorieking.com, eggs have 54 calories, 1.1 mg of fat, 157 mgs of cholesterol, is a good source of potassium. If you eat just the whites, you knock out the cholesterol, lower the calories to 17, and you get 3.6 grms protein instead of 7 grms. [Read more...]
If Brown Eggs Are Local Eggs….
…and local eggs are fresh, then what is it when it is two toned.
I just came in from collecting today’s eggs. We collect eggs every day. Not too much news in that. But, what you see in the picture is an egg that is white and brown. Haven’t seen one of them before. We get green eggs, white eggs, and brown eggs, but we have never gotten a two toned egg before.
Maybe I could sell it on Ebay…
April Showers Bring May Flowers
The showers may bring flowers, but it doesn’t help for getting much outdoor work done around here. It’s cold, and damp and no fun to do anything outdoors.
This morning I finished the chemise I had started a couple days ago. It turned out to be just what I wanted. It will be added to the Thornton Square line of clothes.
We are getting over two dozen eggs a day now. The chickens are out everyday, and having a ball. It is fun to watch them run all over the yard chasing things. Thank heavens the cats don’t chase them.
The cats do however chase every leave that blows across the yard. They are having fun, and we have fun watching them. I was sure they would be upset at us for making them outdoor cats, but I think their fun makes up for it. They have acres and acres to run and scamper after things that move. Puca, who we thought was going to be “wild” has tamed out well. Pyewacket is sweet, but now prefers to chase Puca over being in my lap. Oh, they grow so fast.
Saturday we are helping out at the library with the kids Easter Egg Hunt. We are donating the eggs for the kids to color. I have hard boiled some white eggs, green eggs, and brown eggs. It’ll be alot of fun.
