The state of things in this little household: we are drowning in eggs.
Point the first: I used a dozen hardboiled beauties to made another curried egg salad yesterday.
(Every time I collect eggs, Birdie waits patiently, thinking they are special balls for her to play with. Sorry to disappoint, Bird).
Next up: We sold another dozen to our neighbors today.
Wanna know how many eggs are currently still in our fridge? TWENTY-ONE EGGS. Twenty-freaking-one eggs. I believe it’s time for our first foray into the wild world of pickled eggs, don’t you?
Do it. Pickled eggs are the best.
I think I’m going to try this recipe to start: http://www.foodrepublic.com/2012/08/09/only-pickled-eggs-recipe-youll-ever-need. With a name like that, how could you possibly go wrong? (Added bonus: it appears I already have everything I need in my kitchen. SCORE!).
The only slight problem: I absolutely suck at peeling hardboiled eggs. So they may taste great but just look a little mange-y.
Would love to see the curried egg salad recipe! Three chickens are now producing more than we can eat. We’ve given away 3 dozen as thank you’s!
I really think curried egg salad deserves its own blog post, don’t you?
Yeah, our neighbor is currently on the Atkins diet and eating over a dozen eggs a week. I think the next one will be on us! (This is also the sweet couple who has checked in on our chickens twice now when we’ve left town for the weekend, bless their hearts. It’s good to have good neighbors!).
Ohh, I could do a blog post about our 85 yr old neighbor who insisted she would take care of the chickens (i.e. just raise and lower the ramp) and ended up in physical therapy for almost a month when she fell on her way out to the coop…oi. She’s a great neighbor but she doesn’t do chickens!
Oh, your poor, sweet neighbor! We should all do blog posts about our respective “unsung heroes” – those lovely souls who agree to check in on their zany neighbors’/friends’/relatives’ chickens while they are away and the crazy, zany, and/or downright awful things that happen to them.
Definitely post the curried egg salad
Dare I write three posts in three days and post it NOW?! I just might – it’s too good not to share!
Easter only a month away!
And I don’t even have to dye these beauties!
