Farm Fresh Eggs

The only problem I've had with farm fresh eggs...is peeling them once they are hard-boiled.  Until today, I found it impossible!  My friend's, Julie O'Malley, mother has a tried and true trick...

"Put eggs in a pot with cool water and bring to a boil.  Boil for 3 minutes and then turn burner off.  Leave on burner for 8 minutes.  Remove eggs and rinse with cool water.  Enjoy!"

Here are a few family pictures from the Grover Farm...the first picture are the chickens that laid eggs for the deviled eggs I made for tonight's feast...

This is going to be interesting...


It's some sort of bag that will generate tons of oyster 'shrooms!  The one poking out is dried up and not a good example of what is to come (fingers crossed).  The only instructions I have thus far are to poke holes in it and they will grow.  If you know me, that isn't quite good enough.  I did a Google search and got a bit more information but this looks to be a simple thing.  Stay tuned...
