Local Fare

Thanks to Hugh Hallums for fresh cantaloupes!  We had them for breakfast as a succulent side to our farm fresh eggs. 

Can breakfast be better than FRESH eggs from your own hen house?  Yes, the brown ones.  Oh, wait, I forgot there are people who gag at the thought of eating a brown egg, LOL!  They're usually the same people who willingly eat food from restaurants cooked by someone who's had their hands down their pants.  They think eggs are picked from bushes and don't come out of chickens. 

Our girls are laying enough now to freeze some...got a awesome link from a friend, Khadija in Yemen:  http://www.expendableedibles.com/blog/blog/egg-sicles-the-freshest-eggs-when-youve-run-out-of-eggs/ 

Is that little jar cute or what?



Since our corn is late.  I mean really late-- ran up to the farmer's market yesterday and grabbed a couple of dozen ears of Silver Queen.  This was my father-in-law, Mr. Arno's all-time favorite.  Once, I told him that the bicolor corn was real popular and we might plant some.  He said he didn't need to plant anything but Silver Queen because nothing would be better.  I have to say...last night's supper was one of the best because of the Queen. 

Local in my own home:  When you got a boy who wants to unload the dishwasher even before the dishes are washed, life is a merry-go-round.  Are the dishes clean?  Are the dishes dirty?  Who knows? 

Aha Moment!  A sign on the front indicating "dirty."  Ok, Boy, when you see this sign, do NOT put the dishes in the cabinets.  Read the sign.  See no need for a "clean" sign.  If there's no sign, it's okay to unload them.

Peace restored to the kitchen.  Smart gadget, the magnetized bottle opener that sticks to dishwashers as well as refrigerators!
