Yesterday…
* I made muffins and eggs and bacon for breakfast.
* I spent four hours on the phone. Four. Hours.
* I made beef enchiladas for dinner. Extra hot and delicious!
* Strat and his sister came over for the Friday fooding. Rebecca gave his sister a friendship bracelet, and had her hair brushed. Recessive girl genes, I swear.

You bake so often–have you ever considered getting a chicken or two? Check out these Eglus (there’s no way I’d ever pay this much, but they sure are cute) http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/eglu.html
We’ve thought about it, but we’re living inside the city limits. Not that it stops our neighbors…

Hens are quiet enough that I doubt your neighbors would even know they were there. This book is a good place to start:
