Yard Eggs

Last night we were waiting for a couple Dexters to load and flipped over to AJ's cache of episodes of Outdoor Cooking with Jimmy Nix, a guy whose outdoor kitchen is made entirely of cast iron.  Except he says "in-tahr-lee of cayst ahrn."  And pronounces oil "ole."  Jimmy was making a cowboy breakfast. After he put a bunch of ingredients in an oven proof dish ("first, spray it up good with pam.  pssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Thar.") He placed the oven proof dish in a cast iron pot with a lid and a handle and hung it on a "300 degree hook, piled it with hot coals, and settled in to expound.  "Nayxt, we crayck in a couple yahrd aygs.  Mah daughter, she keeps a couple chicken, and she give us a egg ever day.  Ain't nothin' lahk a yahrd ayg,"

After we figured out what he was saying, we got all excited.  We have yard eggs!  Our chickens lay them right in our yard!  Jimmy Nix was right.  Yard eggs are delicious.
