A juggle-twelve-plates-at-once day at work followed by the aftermath of a bathroom install not going smoothly (aftermath=stressed spouse, late and improvised dinner, can’t shower). Don’t stand downwind.
Hoped that a cup of applemint with a basil leaf tossed in would be soothing and refreshing. Wasn’t as strong and medicinal as hoped, but still pleasant. Praying for a restful night and improved outlook come morning.
On a slightly more entertaining note, the neighbors’ chickens are laying and they shared. I made an omelet with slightly blueish eggs.

I hope you get a well deserved rest…
The omelet sounds great, but I’m a little worried about the “slightly blueish eggs”, lol! Are they Blue Feet Chickens?
They’ve got several denominations going in the backyard; not sure what’s what…the flock started as their high school son’s FFA project, I think. They were a little paler than robin’s eggs. Yellowest yolks I’ve ever cooked, I think.
My friend had a Bantam that would lay eggs with a bluish tint. They were yummy. :)
I’m betting Ameracaunas or Easter Eggers. Neat! And I know what you mean – now that I have backyard chickens, my cake batters are the deepest golden yellow color. The yolks stand up so tall and are so richly colored, and I don’t even buy the feed with color enhancers. It is just because they free range.
By blue do you mean the shells or the contents? /dumb city kid post/
This is another of the reasons we always buy organic eggs. Much prettier on the inside and the chickens are well looked after. :) (I can’t for the life of me understand why battery eggs are not illegal in this country. They ought to be!)
Jillian, the shells…very pale. There were several varieties in the carton she brought me ranging from that color to golden toast. Looked like a little egg rainbow!
Cool, thanks for clearing that up gmathis.
