Berries, Eggs, gadZukes

Since ~solstice we've had ≥ half a pint of berries / day from our yarden.

This week we got zucchini in our CSA box ... one zucchini = funny! I didn't know what to do with just one.
   Bjorn said three times how much he liked the dish I made with it, so it's getting recorded.

♣ bacon renderings, 1 zucchini, 4.5 eggs (6 yolks 3 whites), basil leaves, ground black peppercorns to serve

I had a 14-inch saute pan thick with day-old bacon fat (my precious). I sliced the striped zucchini (very evenly, moderately thinly ... I'm sure I had the patience only because it's the first zucchini of the season) while I heated the pan til the fat was clear. I put the slices in the pan in a single layer, covering the bottom of the pan.
   I let it fry while I cracked 6 eggs, removed 3 whites, mixed the yolky mess and poured it over the fried slices after setting the heat to low. I washed and dried basil (Sacred or Thai (I'm not sure which)), separated leaves from stems, and set the leaves to wilt over the setting-but-still-wet eggs.

The key here is to add each ingredient just barely before the previous one's done cooking. Secondarily, make sure your basil is dry.
   It's kind of like a temporal lasagna, the way I cooked it in layers. It served up kind of like a pizza — in slices!

We've been getting eggs from my in-laws, who are in a joint chicken venture with their neighbor. Neighbor keeps the chickens, buys and prepares their feed (she ferments grains for them!); Da provided coop and capital. (He designed and built the coop in fact. Very cool.)
   Bjorn and I provide, um, empty bellies. We help eat the eggs.
   Neighbor-in-law is first on my list of where to send overflow blueberries! (We've none, yet; we're kind of having a Sal situation.)

(That reminds me. I wanted to name the baby Ursula. Bjorn said we can't unless she's born hairy with claws.)
