Yolkyum

Have you ever seen such pretty yolks?

These are from genuine pasture-munching free range West Virginian chickens.

Somehow my sister-in-law ended up with 6 dozen, I didn’t ask questions I just graciously excepted a carton.

And devoured them over the last three days (with lots of help from Tate), the last two mixed with leftover grilled zucchini and topped with cottage cheese, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Over the last few years I have become a total egg snob.  I still eat run-of-the-mill, factory produced eggs on occasion (but we don’t buy them anymore) but when I do it feels like something is missing, mainly FLAVOR.

I am hoping to find an amazing source of local eggs once the farmers market opens next month.  We buy Faith Mission these days, which are good but not perfection.

Are there any foods that you are particular about?  Beyond being super picky about not eating crappy over-processed food I’ve never considered myself much of a food snob. This is changing though…

It’s pretty dark outside for mid-day but I am hoping that the rain holds off long enough for a run.  My goal is 5 miles.  A sloooow 5 miles ‘cus that’s how I roll these days.

P.S Do you use a food scale?  I’ve decided that I want to start using one, do you have a recommendation on a brand?

Work It Out

Thank you again for all of your thoughtful words and wishes regarding my grandmother’s death, I feel wrapped up in a big cyber hug. 🙂

Yesterday was the funeral service.  The only redeeming factor of the day was spending the 11 hours in the car with my sisters.  There was no rest stop yoga but plenty of giggling and a good dose of reminiscing.

I crashed hard last night and woke up ready for a big bowl of carrot cake oats and a workout.  And with a stiff neck and a headache from all that car time.  yuck.

Hopefully my mini-triathlon will work magic on my body and my spirit.  The plan is a 3 mile run, a 25 minute kettlebell workout, and 15 minutes of yoga and meditation to seal the deal.

Then back in the car.

Tate and I are driving over to West Virginia to see family and watch my niece and sister in a dance performance.  If I am lucky Tate will drive and I can catch up on my magazine reading…

Have a gorgeous and delicious weekend!
