Growing lettuce from the cut off stem and other randomness

I saw on Facebook that someone was growing lettuce from the bottom stem that they had cut off when they were making salad. Of course I had to try it. And it worked! This picture is about four days worth of growth. No need to spend top dollar for 'microgreens'... just grow them from the stem of your used lettuce for free!

A rare cup of morning coffee. Not much sleeping happened in the Good children's room last night, which also means it did not happen in the parents' room either...

Four eggs for scrambling at breakfast. Two are Wegman's organic and two are from a local farm. Can you guess which are farm eggs? They are so much more beautiful. This is why I only buy store eggs in a pinch.

Steak and eggs for lunch

Sometimes I just need a hearty lunch.

Today was one of those days- my body was craving protein. Luckily, we had some leftover venison tenderloin, eggs, and even an unopened box of baby kale greens. For the finish: the very last piece of banana molases bread.

Even though I had to give the baby 1/3 of my egg (he had already eaten the whole of his), I still feel satisfied and energized to take on the rest of the day!

Goose Eggs!

Just before John was born, we bought a quarter of beef.  (What does that have to do with goose eggs, seriously!)

Well, the people who sold us the beef also sold us about ten pounds of liver.  We have been eating a lot more liver recently.  It has lots of iron and other things that are great for you.  Plus it's fun that our kids like liver.  Ben even declared that, "liver is the best meat because it's not tough like beef, or chicken, or lamb..." I wouldn't say it's the best meat, but I do like it fried with onions and gravy! (Really, WHERE are you going with this!?)

Four white goose eggs and one brown chicken egg

Also, the people who sold us the beef and the liver have geese.  (Finally, we get to the geese!)  So, we bought some goose eggs.  They were big.  We scrambled them up for breakfast one Saturday morning.  They tasted just like chicken!.... eggs. :-)
