(I hope) I live on a canal and there used to be 2 geese and 3 ducks that all swam together. I don't know what happened to them, but after awhile there was only one duck left. My neighbor saw someone getting rid of some baby ducks and got 2 of them to be companions for that lone duck. They were reall cute when they were babies. Anyway, they like to hag out at my neighbors, but they are really messy on the dock so she doesn't want to see little ones. Today we discovered the female had made a nest in the corner of ou yard behind the canoe and she had 13 eggs. We gently took her off of the nest and I put the eggs in the frig. I will have to crack them in separate cups in case some are past the edible stage. I don't have access to pastured chicken eggs where I live, so I am excited to get these eggs. The sad part is, she will probably go else where for her next nest and I won't be able to get those eggs. An the other hand, if she does end up with little ones I may be able to have some duck dinners. I will just have to be careful not to get the older ones so my neighbor doesn't get upset. She doesn't like the mess they make, but she does have an attachment to them. I received a windfall! (I hope) I live on a canal and there used to be 2 geese and 3 ducks that all swam together.

One way he loves them is in a recipe that has been passed down in my family called "creamed eggs". You basically hard boil the eggs, quarter them, make a roux (with flour, butter, milk) and then mix in the eggs. Add some salt and pepper and serve over toast (preferably sourdough...it's the best by far for this recipe). He would eat this every day of the week if I would make it! I also have been known to just keep hardboiled eggs in the fridge and mix up an individual batch for lunch/breakfast some days!

We go through about three dozen every week, if we all eat breakfast at home every day! We've stopped buying all processed cereals, and normally switch between soaked oatmeal, green smoothies or eggs for most of our weekly breakfasts (or a combination of two of these, depending on our mood!), and I love a good frittata for an easy dinner from time to time! It's interesting, if you crack open any old (i.e. vintage) cookbook, there is invariably a whole chapter on eggs alone! They're not just for breakfast! I've gotten so many great ideas from those! And a relatively inexpensive way to eat more protein frugally. Looking forward to reading more! Best, Sarah PS - I wrote a post on increasing iron consumption on Friday with lots of egg ideas . . . check it out! We are egg lovers.

It cuts our grocery bill, and we have tried all sorts of interesting breakfast recipes. Our family incorporates eggs into our weekly diet by having “Breakfast for Dinner” one night a week.
