Cooking eggs and picking peas!

As previously mentioned we have delightful hens here and they are excellent layers. We initially thought that we would struggle to eat all the eggs and for sure we are definitely eating more than we would normally consume however, it is surprising what you can do with an egg (or 10!), as we are finding out!!

This morning for example we started the day with a gargantuan breakfast of French Toast (2 eggs - see Recipes), piled high with the most delicious and the yellowest scrambled eggs (4)! Having broken our fast by consuming half a dozen eggs we felt satisfied that we were making inroads to the oeufs accumulating in the fridge, alas we had forgotten the 3 beauties the girls had provided for us this very morning replenishing our egg stock to more than half a dozen!

Ah well, onward and sunny side up! We're off to visit friends on Thursday......wonder if they'd like a dozen eggs??!

Some physical work was required today after our not so petit dejeuner! We decided to tackle the potager, weeding, thinning and harvesting! We spent several hours working on the raised beds - it was a warm and pleasant morning with birds singing and bees buzzing all around - the fragrance from the various herbs and garden veggies was lovely! We managed to pick a couple of pounds of garden peas and similar amount of snow peas - there were raspberries for picking and a couple of containers of cassis (blackcurrants) for freezing. All in all a good mornings work! Now, what's for lunch? Did someone say omlette??!!
