Scrambled?


So, a few months ago, I advertised our old mobile home on Craig's List. Would you believe, Jay from Colorado, responded to the ad. Turns out he has some property about 3hrs south of us and wanted the place. I had been planning to just demolish the old thing and haul it to the dump, which would have cost me $$ and a lot of hard work. I agreed to let him have it for free providing he bear the moving expense. He was delighted,and so was I.
Anyway, yesterday he arrived here to make the final preparations. Look what he brought with him for me. He was so excited to give me the gift. I opened the egg carton and saw these things inside. I guess he stopped by a local farm while driving from the airport to here, and bought them. Turns out they are quail eggs. I guess they're a delicacy for some, but for me? Took him out to lunch and sent him on his way.
Well. my wife came home from work, and discovered these beauties in the refrigerator. She almost cried and told me to rid them.
So, what am I supposed to do? If either of my avid followers would like them, you need to speak up soon. Maybe I'll put them into an Easter basket to give to a friend. Maybe they will just hatch and I could then return the chicks to nature. Or perhaps I'll advertise the on Craig's List.
Remember, there is enough for everyone, but never enough for the greedy ones. It's raining at the Dock.

  2. Google "quail egg recipes" - you'll get dozens of them. Why not get up early and make DenDen a fluffy omelet before she goes to work? See if she can tell if they're from chickens or quail.
