According to the calendar, it's spring. But fresh snow is on the ground. Never mind. It's time to start thinking about new life. Eggs are the perfect vehicle in which to do so.
Carbonara. Whisked eggs tossed through hot pasta. Sizzling bacon with its fat. Parmesan cheese. Pine nuts if you have them. Chopped parsley if you need colour.
Apparently I'm not the only one thinking about eggs. My cousin Claire Cameron, a writer living in Toronto who happens to have blogged on chicken coops in her 'hood, has noticed a surge in traffic on her site. City dwellers want hens in their gardens.
