Glorious Eggs

There are endless ways, combinations and recipes for whipping up the incredible egg! Just thinking for example: a beautiful egg omelet or poached egg for breakfast. For lunch or dinner we can whip up a range of frittatas. Then moving on to dessert, probably my most favorite, creme brûlée ....oh, I forgot, endless ways to prepare a souffle. The list goes on and on!

The photos here were taken from eggs purchased from a local farmer, pasture raised. They appear to me to be much richer in color and remarkably tasty in flavor.  Now that it is springtime, the hens are in full production having more daylight to run around in the  green pastures dropping these remarkable gems!

Mongolian Crunchies



As you can see, these crispy snacks are made from a  simple dough and then deep fried to a golden color.  Every family I visited always served these to us.......part of their welcoming tradition along with the milk tea. They may look like french fries, but had a bland cookie taste. Delicious when served warm.
