Daily chicken December 12

Not so much a chicken today, as eggs and a soapbox that I just recently jumped on.

Eggs with dandelions. Lemme tell ya. This stuff is good.

I don't know why we're killing these things and not welcoming them with open arms into our yards! Dandelions are YUM!

Try some dandelions today.

I picked these, rinsed off some soil, pulled them apart by hand, and heated them in butter before cooking them into eggs. Five minutes before this picture, that green stuff was growing in my yard.

Stay relevant.

Dandelions and egg? Really?
How interesting Nate!!

So good.

Have you ever heard of egg florentine? It's eggs with spinach and cheese (I think Swiss cheese). The flavor of dandelions is really similar to spinach, but with a slightly tangy flavor.

Nope, never heard either.
Maybe it's not so much suite the Asian taste... especially when it comes to eating cheese... I don't know...

I didn't put any cheese today. Wanted to get the whole flavor of the fresh food from home.

Cheese isn't a popular ingredient in Asia? Interesting, why not?

Good question Nate.
Because we have too many spices which are better than cheese!??

I agree, Dandelion is delicious, my yard is loaded with them. They are one of the first greens we get after a long cold winter.

I made sure to scatter the seeds around extra. My neighbors are gonna hate me ;)

But they should be loving you ;) providing them with all that free food and pretty flowers.

Almost perfect! Needs to be in cast iron, ROFLOL!

Just kidding, that is a nice pan of goodies!

Ooh, yesterday it was in cast iron!

That is really eating well!

I like lambs quarters even better than spinach in eggs.

Once in a while, mushrooms sneak into the hot butter before the eggs get there.

:)

Ooh, we've got lamb's quarters ready to plant. I need to find out how to plant all these things, there's so much to do!!!

Be sure to plant it out away from the house. Here it is considered a weed, and is hard to kill, which suits me fine, ROFLOL!

@mericanhomestead says that Egyptian Spinach is a vine spinach that grows well in heat. They harvest in the summer when the regular spinach is gone! I plan on planting some once we have moved!

Stay safe, and be Blessed!

If we didn’t have a dog, I would consider it! Actually, last year I was surprised we didn’t have much for dandelions. We had a lot of thistle though, and some other weed I don’t know the name of. At least dandelions don’t hurt when you walk on them.

Lol my dandelions grow best in the corner with all the stickers! Hoping I can encourage them to choke the stickers out, but stickers are tough...

Why does a dog the decision?

Well the dog goes to the bathroom wherever he wants. He’s getting better about going number 2 further from the house but still..

Ahh, that makes a lot of . We don't have dogs, so I don't think of those kinds of things. We had em growing up and I don't want to have to take care of something like that yet. Kids and chickens are plenty of work for me 😂
