Eggs... My new obsession

I have a bit of a new obsession as of late. Eggs. Not from the grocery but from the local farmers market that meets every Thursday and Friday in our downtown square. 

I wasn't that crazy about them at first, after all, they were just eggs. Until I started getting the eggs from the fancy chickens! Hues of blues and greens and oblong and huge and extra tiny. And without fail one double yolk per carton! So now every week I march down there for 2 dozen and can't wait to get home to haul them out of their cartons and stare at them. For a long time... 

Lucy was very interested and eventually got shooed away. I'm sure she was looking for a small enough one to take away and examine further. Not a habit I'll promote.

Those crazy Chihuahuas

Maisie doing her best funny lips, her "I am Vampire" and her very "I'm not kidding I am very, very serious right now" faces.

 
 

Lucy waiting for her cue, it came! She's rounding one, skipped 2 altogether, rounding 3rd to home... oh,oh... the big one shut her out.

Cute? I think so...

I love coffee

Which has nothing to do with this post. I'm having some right now and just had to say it...

Handmade pizzas. 

Gather your ingredients and preheat the oven to 425. I have no set pattern for pizza toppings, I just clean out the fridge. I pre-made the individual dough and had them in the freezer. Easy to pull out a few hours before and they're ready to go. Roll out the dough and start layering. I, of course realized after I had put it in the oven that I forgot the basil so I just opened the oven and flicked it on. Some hit, some didn't. Those pieces that missed are charred on the oven floor. Super easy and fast. Enjoy.

A blue surprise in my egg carton

So pretty! I marveled at these all afternoon. I doubt I will ever be able to crack them open.
