    Looks like tough meat! I got a "stewing chicken" at the supermarket the other day, for soup. It must have been a young rooster, scrawny thing. Not much meat on it, and very tough, even after stewing.

    The beets, broccoli, and lettuce snuck up on me. Last year thr rank in front of the window, some of the young plants got "leggy" heading towards the light from the window. This year I put grow lights above them and just caught them in time.

    Getting back on a dozen+ egg per day schedule. Here's 5 days worth until after being rinsed. Time to boil up a dozen.

    The guy that we get ours egg free from normally only has styrofoam. Offered to give them back when done but didn't want them so the guy that does are garbage gets them as he primary recycling business.
