Friday Food 03-08-24

 While in SDiego I stayed in Air B&B with Pat Pauly, the teacher, so we ate breakfast at the house and sometimes dinner also.  We shopped at the local Von's Grocery where I found these "mixed" eggs.  

There  were these four left to bring home, but the  original dozen were  more varied  with  darker browns  and  brighter blues with  one greenish one. I have purchased colored eggs from local growers, but have never seen them commercially packaged. But I usually just buy brown eggs from Trader Joe's and don't look to see what else is available.  

Inside they are like any eggs.  These  were medium rather than the large I usually buy.   The breed of chicken is Ameraucana, which lay eggs in several different colors, but most commonly shades  of blue.

The commercial carton.

A full dozen from a local supplier.  They are not graded and come with all different sizes.

More Rain. 03-06-24

Pretty boring when all I can think to talk about is the weather.   However, I look back at blogs from previous March postings and guess this is just not an interesting time  of year.   In my life it  has been a time of loss as so many people I love have died in the first few months of the year. The dreary weather doesn't bring joy and happiness. 

This long, ominous cloud held off until we were just a few houses from home.

But no walk tonight due to continuous downpour.  KoKo had a quick whiz in the backyard and a thorough toweling when he came in.
