When you think of a good, hearty, homemade breakfast, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Eggs. Delicious, firm white outsides with a creamy bright yellow center.

When we were childless, FF and I rarely made a big deal out of Christmas. We had the one, obligatory, Charlie Brown tabletop Christmas tree. That was pretty much it. We both liked the holiday, but it is a bit too much decorating for us. And more importantly, too much taking down of decorations. But of course, like everything else, having children means making more holly for the jollying on Christmas. So this year we put up the Christmas tree, made Christmas cookies, drank egg nog (except FF, who hates it), and generally made good on the promise to be "the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse."
When you move out to the country, you don't always realize how much the little things will change. We certainly didn't. We knew about the obvious - a longer drive to get to the nearest grocery store, an obvious lack of movie theaters, craft beer not even existing within 20 miles.
But here's a few tips to the things that we didn't expect. Hope they help you a little before (or maybe even during) your move to rural life.
Because we have lots of poultry, we eat a lot of eggs.
Fried, poached, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, omelets, over easy, sunnyside up. There are tons of ways to prepare an egg, but arguably the simplest is to scramble it. Oddly enough, as simple as it seems, most of the time I order eggs in a restaurant they are terrible. Rubbery, dry, no flavor. Kinda how I picture George Hamilton would be, were one to intentionally lick him. Or, I guess unintentionally, lick him too. |
