Today is Market Day, which, today, means I have dinosaur kale, cabbage, cauliflower, free-range ground turkey and raw, grass-fed cow cream as well as one of my favorites, duck eggs (which are particularly good for baking).
When I asked for a dozen duck eggs, Corinna Garmon of Garmon Family Farm asked me if I wanted the dozen with the blue egg. And I gotta' tell ya', if you ever get asked in life if you want the dozen with the blue egg, there's really only one conceivable answer and that, of course, is yes. And then, as anything involving a blue egg goes, it got even better. I asked her if she knew exactly which of her ducks laid the blue egg and she said it was Cutie's egg. Now, Cutie happens to be a duck I actually met at the market back in October, and I have to say "met" because she was sauntering around like she owned the joint, mingling with the customers. No plain Jane duck, Cutie was dressed up for Halloween as Count Duckula. I kid you not.
And here I am, one hour later, back at work, with ingredients for dinner, but even more importantly, a dinner story I simply couldn't have made up.
Thanks, Cutie!
