Some Fav Chicken Links
In talking with a good friend this morning I realized I may have neglected to share some favorite chicken links I found a few months ago. The videos are long, but they are FASCINATING to anyone who has a relationship with their chickens :) Smart little girls!!
This is an article about the benefits of eating eggs laid by happy girls:

This series of videos was produced by some documentary guy in England. It is about the intelligence of chickens and was mostly filmed at a "chicken shelter" where the woman collects hens too old for egg production from commercial houses and then after letting them acclimate to non-prison lives, finds homes for them. I loved that part, but also really enjoyed the chicken-training sections.

I know my girls are smart for sure ... and it is great to see it documented.

America's Top Quality Egg Safety --- lol
This little comment about eating eggs from Just Bento, a new fav read of mine. Great tips on making little tidbit foods.
===================================================
Egg safety
*You’ll often see soft-boiled eggs and soft-set yolk fried eggs on Japanese bento blogs. Japanese eggs are generally sold so that they’re safe to eat raw, since that’s what a lot of people do (raw eggs on rice for breakfast, raw eggs as a dipping sauce for sukiyaki, etc.) However, if you live in a country where the egg producers tell you you must cook your eggs until they are the texture of washing up sponges (I’m looking at you, American Egg Board) then you need to take care that your eggs, especially for bentos, are cooked through. Or, find a good producer locally where you can purchase safe, fresh, eggs - they’ll be more expensive than the battery produced kind, but so much better in so many ways.
===================================================
A few weeks ago we had two different tofu dinners that were really good. I've enjoyed tofu as a protein additive in stir fry for a long time, but these were meals based on tofu, and they were great!
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/02/miso-tofu-nuggets-with-edamame-recipe.html I made these for our dinner and it was just enough for the 2 of us. With the slices of bell pepper!
And this is the other one -- sweet and hot --- very good! We had with steamed broccoli and cabbage.http://www.food.com/recipe/sweet-chili-glazed-tofu-with-bok-choy-americas-test-kitchen-424684
Tonight I want to make the mini-cabbage rolls here:
