Cracked Eggs
When I have dirty eggs I don't bother to wash them. I set them aside and once a week we crack them and along with a quart of buttermilk the pigs get a treat. I have a little kitchen helper that automatically cracks these eggs for me.

Wanna see my handy dandy egg cracker?

Do you have a kitchen accessory that comes this cute?

My budding chef.

He is very intent on his job when performing master culinary skills.

He can crack them one handed, too.

Most often he doesn't make a mess either.

Careful with the shells.

Wipe off the hands when finished.

All done.

No shells in the eggs either. I have even been known to let him crack eggs when I am cooking. Of course those times we wash all the eggs any way. He cracked a fair amount of eggs and was quite pleased with himself.

"No more pictures."

"Me say, "No more pictures!"

I have nothing in my kitchen that is that cute!! At least, not since my youngest granddaughter got older! She's still cute, but I need a little one!
I can't believe how big that little man has gotten! I still remember sitting at your kitchen table while he was kicking around in your belly! *sigh* Seems like yesterday.

Oh my goodness!!! He is soooo big!
Do you know how to tell a chicken from a rooster once they are at the butcher shop? I need a rooster to make coq au vin, and the only butcher that said he had roosters available seemed a little shady, so I'm worried he's going to try to pass off a chicken as a rooster.
Thank you!
Do you know why my home grown eggs are difficult to peel once they are hard boiled?
