Why We Could Use Our Own Chickens

For most people, the week after Easter means day after day of egg salad to use up all the hard-boiled eggs.

Not here though. We go through eggs like water.

First, my husband: he takes two hard-boiled eggs to work every day for breakfast. He was working through our brightly colored Easter eggs before we even got to the holiday.

And, my two girls: they can put down 2-3 eggs in a sitting, just peeled with salt, or quickly mashed up in a sandwich (don't worry, my eight year old has a cholesterol count to envy).

So, I'd offer up a recipe for our favorite egg salad (although it really is just mayo and mustard), or some other clever way to use eggs, but there aren't any eggs left in my fridge.

Thankfully, I'm picking up four dozen today from my friend who has chickens. Yes, four dozen. That should last us a couple weeks, I hope.
