I’m in a Facebook cooking group and they do a theme challenge each month. April is Depression Era or Frugal. So I decided to go as cheap and gourmet as possible. Soldiers and eggs with dead nettle pesto.
Homemade: bread, butter Home raised: goose eggs Home foraged: pecans, dead nettles, wild garlic
I made a soft skin and a hard skin loaf because my wife likes a softer crust.
Paid for: Salt, pepper, EVOO, flour, yeast, heavy cream. Cost per person: $1.13
I’m so thankful I have friends and parents with chickens… they have more than they can deal with. They’re not even that expensive at the store, but I refuse to buy cage eggs (let em fuckin wander, my GAWD)
The yolks from pet chickens are so much fuckin bigger and more orange also. So much better.
