Finally finished one hat for my daughter on that basis. :)<br /><br />Always looking forward to your posts - well worth the wait.jazgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644640844199260008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690745083870672507.post-20917602989484302802011-02-04T14:29:49.042-08:002011-02-04T14:29:49.042-08:00We have a visiting priest who brings fresh eggs to...We have a visiting priest who brings fresh eggs to sell - wonderful!

I'm k...Hi Sharon, bacon bits in cookies? yikes! I'm kind of a purist, not sure I'd like mixing those flavors. <br /><br />Each breed of hen lays a different colored egg, and even within the breeds, eggs can vary in color. One of our barred rocks lays brown speckled eggs, the other lays plain brown. Our EE (easter egger) lays the small green eggs, and our sebright lays cream colored eggs. So you can see mixing breeds makes for a nice array.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199328139152042955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690745083870672507.post-21084684990900779502011-02-02T16:17:49.221-08:002011-02-02T16:17:49.221-08:00Hi Susan, I hope you were able to get out for choc...Hi Susan, I hope you were able to get out for chocolate! Sounds like you're having quite the winter storms. Sometimes I think it would be fun to live where the weather is more drastic than it is here, but then having chickens and other outside animals becomes that much more difficult. Stay warm!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199328139152042955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690745083870672507.post-66703912750806766082011-02-02T10:10:35.999-08:002011-02-02T10:10:35.999-08:00Now you've got me wondering how bacon bits wou...Now you've got me wondering how bacon bits would taste in chocolate chip cookies. They say everything goes better with bacon. Hmmm.<br /><br />Those eggs look super. (Do you sell any of them? Why are they different colors?)<br /><br />I agree with Susan, that hat will be a pretty blue. <br /><br />I'm glad you're back to your blog.

LOL!<br /><br />I love the color of the hat and the counterpoint with the needles is perfect.<br /><br />I never really thought about the baking/cooking thing before. The idiosyncracies of the English language! It boggles the mind sometimes.<br /><br />The cookies look delish and those home-grown eggs make them even richer.
