Farm Fresh Eggs

Saturday I helped out with Sheep Shearing day at Flower Hill Fleeces Farm.

Skirting the fleece with Rachel
of Tableten Podcast fame.
It was chilly in the barn.

At the end of the day, I was given a dozen farm fresh eggs from their chickens. Thanks Jodi. You can let the eggs sit on the counter until you wash them. Then they need refrigeration. I washed two and put butter and olive oil in my omelet pan to fry them up.

Here’s the short video of them cooking. Look at those vibrant yolks.

They were delicious.

There are other choices and next time I’m meeting my friend for breakfast, I’m bringing quarters.

Ritter’s Diner on Baum Boulevard has a jukebox at every table.

Coffee and a jukebox

We had a couple of eggs over easy, some home fries and toast. Love a diner breakfast.

Avocado Toast

Ripe avocado scooped out of the shell, mashed lightly with a fork. Spread on slices of well toasted bread . Yes, there are recipes for additions to the mixture or sprinkles of spice but we kept it simple. Delicious.

Are you a fan of avocado toast?

Wordless Wednesday

Billions have been eaten

The blog subject today is Steve’s idea.

He provided the box of the toaster pastries. He’d heard about the death of 96 year old William Post who is credited with helping create this breakfast confection.

He played an important role in co-creating the iconic Pop-Tarts brand and we are grateful to Bill for his legacy and lasting contributions to our company,” the spokesperson said.”

Have you ever eaten a Pop-Tart?

Shelf life is an issue for another day.
