My first egg cost me $600. I'm 7 years in and if it weren't for the fact that egg prices have escalated so much I'd still be losing money on every single egg because the industrialization of eggs makes it less expensive to buying them under normal circumstances.
Now let's talk about the reason they're currently expensive. Bird flu. Imagine every yard with chickens in it. Instead of a few locations to protect, you now have hundreds of millions. Which results in billions of potential vectors for the spread of disease.
I know everyday that I could walk outside and find my birds sick with the bird flu because some bird pooped by flying overhead. I may have to cull my entire flock of a dozen or so chickens, six five ducks and seven geese. And then when I decide to replace them I'm going to be priced out of the market by everyone else replacing their birds.
Bluesky isn't Twitter. That's all that mattered to most people. A few influential people went there first and the network effect kicked in.
Yes and no. Free range in America means "raised in a huge building and never seeing sunlight." Basically what separates them from cage free is that thousands of birds all share one giant cage instead of four birds to a cage inside the larger cage.
Pasture raised are the ones that get to go outside and eat bugs in the sunshine.
Not only that but for hand carving you want green wood. Like cut the limb, let it sit for two days, then hand carve it.
I had to remove a large limb from my pecan tree. Which meant I had some fodder for new kitchen spoons.
I guess all those Godzilla movies weren't enough to teach them about the hazards of nuclear weapons. This is all our fault. We failed them. Godzilla will happen and it will be a direct result of Trump's incompetence.
These are the say people that support doctors and pharmacists for not treating people they don't like. They are the ones that support cake shops from making gay cakes.
They are all very familiar with wanting the ability to discriminate. But they don't expect that they will be on the other side of it.
Spelling git messed up. Shouu be flower. Which Autocorrect just tried to turn into "closer."
Goose eggs taste exactly like chicken eggs except that instead of being 30% yolk they are 50% yolk. Which means that in a standard goose egg there's hey yolk that is the size of one and a half chicken eggs. And the yoke is The tastiest part
Yes, I have to wrestle geese on a daily basis during the spring. I'm going to put it on my resume. I got throat punched by a goose wing tonight.
My wife isn't a big fan of pickle relish and I don't normally stock it so pepperoncini is my default to add some acid to help balance all the mayo and tuna.
Don't get me started on the cost of winnowing baskets and cattle fencing. Have you seen the cost of pickaxes lately? You can't just punch a tree and get one.
Tuna melts on sourdough with avocado, pepperoncini and brined redbud flour buds. Side of both Nacho and Cool Ranch Doritos because reasons. The same reasons that two high people told me this was the best sandwich ever.
Cost: $4.14 per person.
Breakfast is a fried goose egg sandwich on sourdough. Instead of salt I used some brined redbud flowers which are kinda like a caper substitute.
Cost per person is probably 80¢ because the goose egg and redbud came from my yard so all I'm really paying for is bread, butter, and for the redbud some salt and vinegar.

One of the things I deeply miss about living in California is unlimited access to rolled taquitos. They don't exist in my area of The South even at the best of Mexican places.
I got up today on a mission and took half a rotisserie chicken and some corn tortillas and wrapped everything up and put them in the chest freezer to be ready for dinner time deep frying. I wanted this to be as close to the real thing as possible so I made way too much guacamole and got some cotija cheese in advance for this. The cheese isn't perfect. The proper cheese has chili paste coating the rind. But this will do.
A variation on shakshuka. More cumin and chili powder, black beans, cotija cheese, avocado.
Granola is pecan and craisins. Definitely make it at home instead of buying it.
Cost of the granola is $9.01 total or 81¢ per 11 ounces instead of 2.69 for Walmart brand granola.
For a successful hunting expedition the key elements include a good rifle, trained cats, suitable camouflage, and an early morning.
My wife is starting a rewatch of Buffy for a Facebook group project. Part of that rewatch is going to be focusing on what Dawn's role and influence in each episode was since people tend to ignore her in the early seasons.
To start this project off right she asked for popcorn with flaked red pepper dark chocolate. If you are going to do something do it right.
