    Hahaha pride is right, but probably not of the eggs.  She thinks she's a bad ass bitch.  She's at the top of the pecking order and she bosses everybody around.  She chases Simon and pecks at our feet, and just after I took this she tried to take my phone.  
    Her name is Ethel.  She's the poorest layer and she keeps getting egg bound and looking like she's gonna croak but she keeps on bouncing back. She lays about 3-4 eggs per week and they are small and thin shelled with a spotty bloom.  I should put her in the smoker now but the boss says nope.

    I've got 2 dozen in the fridge and they are getting closer to grocery store age, which makes them old enough for hard boiling.  I have deviled eggs in my future for next week.
    I like mine heavy mustard, nice and tangy, with a dash of hot sauce mixed in.

    Those peppers look amazing.  We just got a bag of long hots and green bell from a friend.

    gambo, those peppers would do a number on my overall digestive system, but they are beautiful.  As in artwork-type beautiful.  And bountiful!

    Cliffy, :clap:
  • I have to admit peppers like that don't exist in my grocery store.  Nice haul.

    Yum that looks good!
    Thanks for the pepper love, they are artful hedo, the colors and shapes and smooth glossy texture...they are very nice to look at.  I took a basket of peppers and purple green beans and yellow cherry tomatoes and more, all arranged beautifully, to a wedding as a gift to the vegan bride and groom and it was a topic of conversation, who brought the beautiful veggies.
    I was glad, I was afraid people would think it was a snide joke, low class, or a cheap out (we have them money too)
    But they didn't and I was happy.  I only told the bride and groom that I made the basket too, because I didn't want everyone to think I'm some kind of weirdo boy scout weirdo.

    I am lol

    Peppers when picked at the right time are good for digestion.

    Rice and meat stuffed?  I love hearing ingredients in things, sorry.

    I've had Greek style stuffed peppers which were amazing.
