About me
Hi, I live in Nesconset, Long Island, New York, which is about 45 minutes from New York City. Even though we are located so close to the city, I have my own flock of 16 chickens that supply wonderful fresh eggs for my cooking/recipes. Besides the extraordinary quality and freshness of the eggs, the chickens are enjoyable pets that provide entertaining company. They can freely roam a considerable area and we feed them very basic food that does not contain any unknown additives. Their eggs cook up so nicely (not watery or runny) and have beautiful plump deep yellow yolks. And I enjoy going out each morning with my little basket to gather them up! Some of my chickens are new to the flock and haven’t become productive yet. Those are the ones we bought as full grown laying hens and haven‘t quite adjusted to their new environment, but we haven‘t had them very long. Others we purchased as full grown laying hens are doing a good job and we get eggs every day. Still others are chicks and not old enough to lay eggs. I’m looking forward to the day when we might get a dozen eggs daily! I can hardly use that many but I know my neighbors will gladly accept some of my fresh eggs. It’s not something you see very often around here. I also enjoy collecting cookbooks and I have shelves of them. I certainly haven’t tried many of the recipes, but they are fun and interesting to read. I am having a wonderful time with the recipes on this site and I hope you are, too!
