I dry hatch-- no water until lockdown-- no improvement in hatching.

We eat lots of eggs here.

Scrambled eggs with scallions or onions and creamed cheese.
Scrambled eggs with thyme, olives and feta
scrambled eggs topwed with shredded cheddar.

Yup, eggs for breakfast most days.

Sure hope CA gets water soon-- poor avocado crop expected for next year.

Almost everything will be 20% smaller this year--including Trees!

Thanks for the recipe!

We only eat eggs once or twice a week.

I hope Calif gets rain regularly so they can come out of that drought.

What ? Eggs only once or twice a week?????

Possibly you have been told they cause high cholesterol???? YOu might already know, but others might not, that this was debunked long ago, but it keeps making the rounds. Cholesterol is more driven by a diet too high in bad carbs and too high in carbs in general. I had a dietitian tell me to eat 300 carbs a day. I fumed the whole drive home, walked in the door and tossed everything into the trash. My gestational diabetes would have been completely out of control on her diet plan of high carbs. Instead I ate liberally of low carb foods and clean fish and meats, nuts, eggs and chicken. Had pretty good blood sugar numbers during that pregnancy. THese days I eat 4-10 eggs a day, beef, chicken, lots of butter and oils and my cholesterol is 177 at last testing. YEAY.

I talked with a fellow in his 60's-- dang he made me guess his age, so I didn't sugar coat my guess-- I guessed right. A wonderful man truly, with an overhanging gut that is so common by that age-- on high blood pressure meds and another medication. As we talked I challenged him to give up drinking his quart a day orange juice habit. Nope now way. He is committed to his addiction. OUr high carb diets contribute to the high blood pressure issues. THe only time mine is high is after driving at high sppe on the highway to make an appt in BOston, then have my BP taken. It is always too high as my nerves are shot!!

We eat whole fruits here, NO juices. THere is little fiber in the juiced form and about 5 oranges in each serving. My kids are full on 1-2 clemintimes or tangerines.

PS. THe body makes cholesterol as it is vital. IT is proper eating that keeps it in it's place = inside the cells. lol

Arielle!

The new food labels will now have a big focus on Sugars! Carbs being bad is gaining some traction.

The new label will also separate sugar that is naturally in a product from what has been added. It will also tell you what the added sugar is.

People look at you like you are silly when you tell them that Sugar and simple carbs are to blame for high Cholesterol and triglycerides.

No it's not the cholesterol it is the grease to cook them in that hurts my stomach. Sometimes I will cook them scrambled in the microwave with cheese then I can eat more that way. But I try to stay away from greasy foods.
When ever I have to go to the Dr. my blood pressure goes up just from the stress of having to see a Dr.
I hard boil some sometimes and eat them that way or in a salad but I just can't eat that many eggs.
Sometimes I get so many I have to give some to the dogs and chickens.

Have you tried cooking them in coconut oil? The store brand doesn't smell like coconuts like my delicious Nutiva brand, so I bet it wouldn't make them taste like it, plus it's SOOOOOOO good for ya!
