Well, I'm back and as always it was an interesting adventure.

The lady lived in a swank part of town in a gorgeous house. I asked her if she ate eggs and she said "Yes!" and I gave her a half-dozen of our backyard eggs. She was a classic Burkenstock wearer...which I have no problem with but just so you can get a mental picture.

I told her I was on my way to Wild Oats around the corner, to pick up some of my favorite organic granola. She asked "Do you eat only organic?" and I got the impression she was trying to classify me...fit me into a certain stereotype. Someone she would feel at ease communicating with. So I replied "Well, I eat organic when I can get it, but I like Captain Crunch too!" It so visibly took her aback that I almost chuckled. I almost said "Lady, I'm a square peg in every circumstance...don't bother trying to pigeon-hole me!"

Anyway, she was very gracious and kind and I gave her another five dollars to get me some more milk in the future...she said she'd pick up my kefir grains and the milk in a few weeks. She was really tickled with the gift of eggs and I told her our hens were pets and well-treated.

Now I'm going to make goat milk yogurt!

You always have interesting adventures!

My current favorite drool-icious food is a goat cheese called chevre. It's somewhere between feta and cream cheese in both flavor and consistency. Oh my. Proof that there is a God who loves us. It's very good on crackers and crumbled in salad.

My favorite shoes are Birks. ;)

I'm sure that raised you very high in her estimation. As for Birkenstock wearers; watch it, gal, those are about the only shoes I can wear for my back not to hurt after a long time on them! ;o) I ALWAYS look for them on sale. Don't think I've ever paid 'retail' for them.
