I seem to remember something Miss Martha (Stewart) said about eggs that are a little bad.... something about their yolks and whites being thick like glue. I notice that once in awhile a chicken egg comes out that way and I eye it suspiciously....Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085490655524570481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-56752329116823679272009-04-25T14:28:00.000-05:002009-04-25T14:28:00.000-05:00I love love swiss chard.

All those beautiful colors, I'm drooling!<br /><br />Those long beans are l o n g *laugh* I don't know if I've seen those up here in the store.

Coincidentally, the farm I spent Easter on kept ducks, yet the family NEVER ate the eggs. In the UK duck eggs are commonly sold alongside hen eggs. I think you were unfortunate and ate a "bad egg"? Poor you, not surprising if this has turned you off for life from trying any again!Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-53995975956183089802009-04-25T05:36:00.000-05:002009-04-25T05:36:00.000-05:00Ellen - thanks for stopping by.

Our favourite vegetable is celeriac, as it's great for adding to soup. It can be difficult to buy the home fruit and veg in season over here. My parents refuse to buy anything other than Scottish strawberries (living in Scotland) but have to wait patiently until August. The price of principle.Madame DeFargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172239340844485940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-86502701119433156782009-04-24T18:18:00.000-05:002009-04-24T18:18:00.000-05:00Hi Ellen,

Sorry to hear about your encounter with the duck egg...<br /><br />There's a book you might find interesting called "Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100-Mile Diet" by Alisa Smith. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving such a nice note. I always enjoy new visitors. <br /><br />BTW, I think your karmic debt is one that will be a lot of fun to pay back!<br /><br />CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-51463650675329730212009-04-24T16:08:00.000-05:002009-04-24T16:08:00.000-05:00Yikes!

That's how i usually cook it, and i don't bother to peel it. although last night i was going to do it and found that i had let them sit too long in the fridge and the went soft on me. so instead of roasting them o cut them up and made a mixed vegetable and Israeli couscous soup. the soup is one of our new favourites.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184924124594732913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-86253976675979697842009-04-24T13:40:00.000-05:002009-04-24T13:40:00.000-05:00Isn't it weird how some people react to things and...Isn't it weird how some people react to things and others don't. My husband has a steel stomach whereas I'm lucky I keep anything down. I do hate to puke. <br /><br />What is curious to me is that I seem to be one of the few who are so terribly conscious of time going by. I don't that it's something other people think about, and they definitely don't talk about it, but it runs through my head a couple times a day at least. I think I keep hoping that being conscious of it will slow it down, but it's not working.scarlethuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261263598183741538noreply@blogger.com
