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

How do you like peppers?
Another gift from the neighbor who had leftovers from a party.
I sautéed them in a bit of olive oil.
Stored them in a glass jar in the fridge overnight.
The next day I sautéed some baby Bella mushrooms and thin chicken breasts which I cut into strips. Got out the cast iron skillet for the flour tortillas! Delicious.
