A Little Bit of Pretty

 I am sensitive to the fact that, while *I* signed up for writing reviews this year for Schoolhouse Review, *you* certainly didn't sign up for reading them.  And it kind of bothers me a bit to have less-than-aesthetically-pleasing reviews in my happy, pretty place.  Because of this, I try to get up a post just as quickly as I can after a "review" post in order to make my 'place' happy and pretty again.  And my readers too.  ;-)

And you- I hope you know that you do not need to read my review posts unless you are truly interested in hearing about that particular product.  I put "REVIEW" in the title of each review post I do so that you can secretly (or blatently) skip those posts if you so choose.  ;-)  I won't think less of you. 

So- in an effort to re-beautify the place, I give you... eggs!  And a glass-skinned lady!  And a certain little grin that I hold dear.  And...well, that's all. 

I am happy to report that our chickens are beginning a slow and steady return to work and just in time too.  I ran out of eggs this week and have wondered just how I'd make it through.  I have been positively DESPERATE for an egg breakfast!

If you look closely, some of those idyllic looking eggs are actually cracked.  :-( This blustery, frigid weather does that sometimes. 

No worries.  It just means I get to eat eggs for breakfast tomorrow.  ;-)
 

See you tomorrow with Finances on Friday.  (FOF to the cool people.)

An Egg Week

Our chickens are loving the sunshine and are rewarding us...bountifully....for letting them roam around the yard all day.

Seriously. It is getting overwhelming. We have so many eggs it would make your eyes cross. Like, triple digits.

We are going to be putting our EGGS FOR SALE sign out this weekend, but something has to be done NOW. So on Monday morning, as the children were eating cereal, I declared this week to be an EGG week and I was going to see how many we could demolish.

Here was the rundown of breakfasts.

Monday~cereal. Eggnog (=6 eggs)

Tuesday~ Scrambled eggs, slices of cheddar, orange, toast with peanut butter. Grape juice (I canned it last year). (=9 eggs)

Wednesday~ Dippy Eggs (or sunny side up eggs, some call them). Toast with butter. Half a banana. Grape Juice (=6 eggs)

Thursday~ Egg sandwiches with ham and cheddar. Grape Juice. (=5 eggs)

Friday~ French toast with our own maple syrup. Half a banana. Milk. (=3 eggs)

So far, I have used up 29 eggs. (Less than what we get from two mornings of gathering.)

Tonight I am going to try my hand at breakfast pizza. (That should use up around 5 eggs, including dough)

Strata will be for breakfast on Saturday (=10 eggs)

Sunday we will likely have leftover strata for breakfast. But I plan to take a whole mess of deviled eggs to a going away party/picnic in the afternoon.

I wonder if hard boiling two dozen would be overkill. Is 48 deviled eggs TOO much?
