Omlettes and Crack for Birds



My curiosity got the better of me and I cooked up a mini-omlette for an appetizer despite the fact that it did not fit in with my taco salad menu. I ended up scrambling the eggs in the pan. Observations: duck eggs have barely any egg white and the yellow is thick like a custard. They tasted a bit more 'farmy' than chicken eggs, but overall tasty. I just used some salt. Next time: quiche!

The last time I purchased duck food I did so at Wal-Mart because I did not want to have to go to two different places to feed the animal shelter. I do not know what is in the Wal-Mart poultry mix, but it is crack for birds because as soon as I put some out the finches swarm in and have a party flicking food around until it is all gone. And it will be all gone in a matter of hours. I had been filling up a large coffee can and putting that much food out, but since the finches don't have any self control I'm going to have to dole it out in smaller portions. They ate TWO tubs full of food since yesterday. Maybe they'll become so big they'll start eating mice. I got a new sprinkler head today and EDub and PDub stood in the grass under the sprinkler, their heads tilted for 10 minutes while they figured out what was going on. They they took a swim. They are awesome.

I don't know what the Pack did while I was in Palm Springs, but they have been very tired. Maybe they poisoned themselves on Stan's, the goo you put in your tubeless tires to seal them, because I found the bottle in the yard and Stan's all over the place. I guess the dogs won't leak if they get poked with a goat head.
