Eggscellent!!

To clarify, there are teeny tiny spots of something on my eggs which I assumed was chicken poop, but could just as easily be dirt. Occasionally also a little piece of straw-like substance which I'm assuming is nest material that got stuck in the drying process right after laying.

I don't know how many chickens my egg guy has, but he collects a dozen eggs a day from them and he does collect them daily.

I think I might enjoy keeping chickens more than I would enjoy weeding a vegetable garden - plus, I think I'd prefer to use the square foot method in a small part of my backyard to raise tomatoes and a few other things, rather than have a large garden.

Anyway, I'm not doing anything that requires a commitment of any kind until completing my first year of solo practice, when I'm certain I can make a good living here and it's then worthwhile to 'commit' to more critters and property improvements.

You would have to fence the chickens out of the vegetable garden. They can be pretty destructive.

Yeah. It's awful to have to clean up the chicken parts after the carrots and peas are through with them.

Now I'm hungry.

An ‘omelette on a stick’ might not appear the most appetising way to start the day.

However, the import is being presented as the ideal ‘breakfast on the go’. It is one of the foods that can be created using the Rollie ‘vertical grill’ from the US. Lakeland is bringing the Rollie to Britain and boasts that, as well as the simple omelette, it can create many more tasty snacks, including party canapes and sweet treats.

Essentially, the Rollie is a heated tube with a non-stick coating on the inside. The user simply cracks two eggs and pours in the mixture and then, part way through the heating process, adds a stick down the middle as it begins to solidify. The cylindrical omelette pops up when it is cooked in what the manufacturer, Kalorik, boasts is an ‘easy to eat’ shape.

Kalorik also claims it takes five to six minutes to cook a two-egg omelette on a stick, however video bloggers who have tried the Rollie suggest it is actually six to eight minutes. Videos on the firm’s website suggest that as well as cooking breakfast, workers could keep the device on their desk to turn out a hot lunch. Lakeland is renowned for bringing kitchen innovations to British consumers, such as its yellow banana holder and the popular Mary Berry baking range. However, the company faces an uphill task to win over consumers in this country to the Rollie, given the fact it has received mixed reviews in the US.
It was ridiculed on TV comedy show the Colbert Report, where host Stephen Colbert suggested it provides an answer to the question: ‘How can I make my breakfast fit more snugly into my colon?
