If I recall correctly, they were brown. I noticed them one day when buying kefir. If they do still carry them, the other Stop and Shops (always known as Stop and Flop in my household) would probably have them as well.

What is Kefir? Just asking! and about those eggs...you just hatch and see what comes out?! What a surprise!

Kefir is a cultured milk product. What is really great about it is you just drop the grain (think a colony of the organisms that culture the milk) and 24-48 hours later you have kefir! think drinkable yogurt. check out this thread

Amy, before our next delivery, I will separate the grains and give you some. Of course it will culture only plain but you can add any fruit you want, Others-check it out in your local grocery store. It you like sweetened yogurt, get something with fruit in it. It has more probiotics in it that yogurt.

Sorry you aren't feeling well, any ideas what is wrong? I just have a nasty cold, inconvenient.

Its either liver or gallbadder. I had an ultrasound and a Cat scan- showed nothing wrong with the gallbladder but fatty spots on the liver. i just had a gallbladder function test yesterday. I also have blood in the #2 way. so they ordered a scope but that is not until the last day of the month. dr today wants to move that up when they have a cancellation because of the bleeding. if the gallbladder is not functioning properly then they will schedule surgery. so i feel horrible but hanging in there.

mean while when i get a good moment, i work on my egg ornaments.

I sold this one today

and this one is going on my tree

anyone have goose eggs they dont want???? LOL

I would like some more for crafting.

very nice ornaments! Bad Gall bladders can make you feel very sick. Try not eating ANY fat and see if you feel any better......

thanks for all the well wishes, i dont eat much right now.

yesterday i ate some crock-potted chicken and some plain jasmine rice.

today a made a bean soup with potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, and ham.

trying to keep it light. the other day i had some beef rice with ground beef in it and i though i was going to die.

so some foods work better for me. but i am pretty much down to one meal a day cause i just plainly dont have an appetite and i have lost about 30 pounds.

it would be good to keep it off when i get better.

Kefir is fantastic. I make 'yogurt/sour cream' with it and also soft cheese. I never buy cream cheese, yogurt or sour cream anymore. I substitute it into my cooking and it's much healthier too!
If anyone around here needs starter grains for water or milk kefir, let me know. The water kefir isn't as healthy as it needs sugar to grow on, but it does make for fantastic home made sparkling grape juice.

I would LOVE kefir starter grains! I would even trade you for em.... how about some home crochet fingerless mittens?

Sounds like a plan!

The parking lot egg exchange works fine, with the added bonus that I find the thought of how it looks highly entertaining.

How do you like the groovy new green carton? I think they're pretty cool. I also like the "laid in the USA" stickers. Only here can you confess to paging through the EggCartons.com catalog and saying, "I want that, and that, and those..."

Meepitqueenie, I absolutely love those ornaments! I hope they sort out what's going on with you soon - good luck, and may you feel better very soon!

 

[In His Service]

meepitqueenie those are beautiful ornaments, I am inspired. Hope you are feeling well very soon.

nambroth thanks for the info. I would love to have some kefir starter grains, you need raw milk though, right?
