The Silkie Chicks!

[go to the bottom of this post to get the full book! ] We call them The Silkies. The Tener Silkies, that is, because they are definitely part of the family. They are an ancient breed of chickens  of Asian descent, first introduced in Europe  by the Dutch as: the wondrous cross-breed between a rabbit and a chicken! It turns out that this is quite a believable description because they are absolutely fuzzy and soft, quite like a bunny. Note: The original version of this post had the phrasing "bunny rabbit" but Mara pointed out that "rabbit" is redundant because all bunnies are rabbits. Elena pointed out that "bunny rabbit" is more artistic. I will just have to write this again, in case you didn't realize how extremely huggable they are.

Our friend Emily writes dontmissdairy.com , a blog with recipes that are adapted for dairy-free diets. Even though we don't really avoid dairy ourselves, one recipe caught our eye last week and we decided to make it a Sunday brunch. It makes great use of the quinoa that we've been keeping in the pantry. Here's the recipe: http://dontmissdairy.com/2014/05/27/simple-quinoa-egg-bake . We used squash and carrots for the veggies, very finely chopped, and some delightful organic asparagus spears for decoration that ended up also delicious. Here is the photo log from making it, don't miss Mara's action stance before the very first bite!
