    Any tips on how to find local people with eggs would be greatly appreciated!

    I suppose we are lucky that we live in a rural area and on our commute to work or to the local town for shopping we pass several houses and farms advertising eggs, usually using an honesty box.

    I don't think you will have much luck looking on the internet.

    If you are picky you might find them a culture shock as they are often covered in mud, feathers and heaven knows what else. :p

    I've just fried up half a pound of sliced mushrooms together with large clove of garlic (chopped) in butter with a splosh of cream added at the end. I also sprinkled in a pinch of salt, pepper and Italian herbs.

    Absolutely divine. :)

    I turned Mrs G into a drooling idiot with the smell of it cooking. Unfortunately, she doesn't like mushrooms.

    How is everybody doing? Good to hear of all these pounds dropping and fantastic news on your test results Edwardia:T.

    Me? Verrrry tired,lots of over time this week. I have two part time jobs, and they were both short this week so busy busy busy.

    LC'ing is going just okay,all this working malarky seems to get in the way;). Day off tomorrow then back in on Sunday. Thankfully the other job is in a school and its half term next week so only a day and a half to work next week:j:j. Should get the house and food in order then..maybe go for a run? My running mojo has..run away:D

    Sheila QUOTE sistercas - stop this nonsense and eat sensibly!! Lecture over but I get a bad stomach as soon as I divert from the plan and it isn't worth it :)

    yes Miss! ;)
