The 50 Mile Diet

I was lucky to get these little eggs. And they are almost too perfect and pretty to eat. I was talking to the local high school librarian Cindy about Barbara Kingsolver’s book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. It’s a book that Eden Prairie will be reading in its next community-wide read (www.epreads.org). The book was the impetus for this blog and my personal local eating initiative. Next thing I know, Cindy is dashing off to get me some eggs. They come from another high school teacher whose daughters (Natalie and Ellie) have gathered and cleaned them. Wow! I was honored to get some of them. I have learned that these are new chickens (younger?) and they lay smaller eggs. I guess I can eat more of them! Thanks!!!
