Nice, Justers. They look like great eggs - you can't beat it when they're as fresh as that:)
Marco.
Indeed. We got them on the 23rd. Three pairs of different breeds and hence different colours.Quote:

Are they organic free range eggs Justin? We get our eggs from the local greengrocer. They are supplied from the farm every day and box them up in the shop.
Looking up Mari's Eggs on the web, they look to be very reasonably priced: certainly cheaper than what we pay here. Pop-up stalls selling through a 'charity box' system looks radical - ""Vive la revolution"! ;)
Breakfast was my usual coffee with two slices of toast. One with Wilkins Tiptree medium cut orange marmalade, the other with peanut butter and Marmite:
Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich, and Dinner was sardine on rice with carrot, onion, and tomatoes in a chilli pesto sauce:
Barry, did you miss this from earlier?:)Quote:

Interesting... I like any desserts that aren't too heavy, especially at a pub ir restaurant, with having two courses beforehand; normally I don't bother. I also like fruit pies, apple crumble being my favourite, with vanilla ice-cream or homemade custard..
I don't really class fresh fruit as a dessert. It's something I normally have either for breakfast, or a mid afternoon snack. In particular I love fruit salads that Del's marinated in some booze!:D
The booze bit (white wine) is an Italian thing, otherwise it's sugar and lemon, see here for macedonia: https://www.ciaoitalia.com/recipes/macedonia

P.S What about tiramisu or zabaglione - do you like those?
