Thanks to China, India (and daughter) and Charlie & Joy's chickens, we enjoyed a great meal last evening, and didn't have to leave home or purchase a thing from outside our area.
Dinner menu:
- egg casserole with goat ricotta, goat mozzarella and Charlie's chicken's eggs
- buttermilk biscuits with goat buttermilk and goat butter on top
- salad with goat feta
- zucchini cake with Charlie's chicken's eggs, goat butter in the cake and goat milk frosting
When I was preparing dinner I was not consciously attempting to see how many goat and egg products I could use. It was only upon reflection that it became obvious how our lives and our kitchen has been transformed.
It is remarkable to experience day to day the variety and abundance of use of these simple products. The benefits to our health and well being of eating locally grown and home created foods has been evident. The benefits are evident to our wallet as well, as the cost to purchase mozzarella, feta, ricotta, and other products would be substantial, even if we only purchased the grocery variety. Imagine the cost if we were to try to purchase all these products with the "organic" label attached.
Thank you, Charlie, Joy, China, India and company! You do important work!
