Mel (& Paul) Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Dear All You will be thrilled to know that you will not have to put up with my whingeing about no eggs , and congratulating new layers through gritted teeth when their girls lay within 5 minutes of arriving in their new homes... Yup! We are the proud owners of one egg! (not bad for 4 chickens and nearly 3 weeks..... Now just to think what fabulous recipe I can rustle up with that one (rather small but perfectly formed!) egg.

Nicola H Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Congratulations Mel and Paul a belated birthday present for Mel ...... They would be nice fried in a little bit of olive oil yummy............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 At last!! That is good news. Congratulations!!! Don't forget to post a picture of your first egg in the gallery before you eat it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Thanks Kate and Nicola. Will certainly do my best to post photos now that Kate's given me some help and tips!! We are going to blow our egg so we can varnish and keep it - sad or what We have kept the fossils that our dogs found on our very first beach walk with them when we had adopted them, and they are on the desk with photos of their friends and I think I will have to take photos of the "girls" and find somewhere to put them with the preserved egg! - so we will have a VERY small scrambled egg dinner (which I need after the excesses of birthday meal last night ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 A belated very happy birthday from me, Mel! Hope you had a great day !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 A VERY good day indeed - made much better by the discovery of our first mushroom and our first egg - small mushroom omlette for tea?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Sounds good and easier to share than a soft boiled egg. The size will get larger - first eggs are so sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 That's good to hear - the new mushroom is nearly as big as the first egg....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 And now chillies - so a VERY small omlette, with mushrooms and chillis (oh and strawberries..........) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Suggest strawberries after omlet and not in it - if you can wait until this evening you might even have a second little egg to add to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Now we have got a second egg- so our omlette will be a bit bigger - whoo hoo think, on reflection that strawberries after the main course is a better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
