You all ate almost all of our parsnips last week - in just one week! Just a few of those parsnips left, and we're also getting down to the last of the beets. Don't worry, there's still a slew of carrots to be had, and we expect to start pulling some sweet winter turnips out of the greenhouse in another week or two. The bulk of our greens are still in recovery mode. We are still limiting eggs to one dozen per order this week, but we also have some dainty little pullet eggs. A pullet is farmer-speak for a female chicken that hasn't quite reached her full egg-laying stride yet. When a pullet does start laying eggs, for the first few weeks she lays small eggs, which gradually increase in the until she's producing regular large eggs. I think of these as "practice eggs," laid a bit sporadically until those flighty teenage girls settle down to business. Pullet eggs can be a bit difficult to bake with in a recipe that calls for "two large eggs," but they're fine for any other use, and make some really cute miniature deviled eggs!
