Rhonda, the RedShirt Rooster, and the Egg

The last extra EE rooster has gone to a good home, where he will have a harem of twelve girls all to himself.

Rhonda was almost sorry to see him go, for now she had no way to make Riker and Worf jealous.  But then she was distracted, for the Food-Bringer had been making vegetable stock and the boiled vegetables were brought out for the chickens.  There were tomatoes, and celery, and carrots, and onions, and all kinds of yummy veggie bits.  Rhonda was so pleased she even consented to share with the little chicks.

Finally, sated, she plunked herself down in the Treat-Bringer’s lap and started filling him in on all the coop gossip.  She was comfortable, relaxed, and well fed, and the thought of getting up and walking to the nest box was apparently too much.  She sang the egg song, and the Treat-Bringer was gifted with a small, rather dark egg.  It was brought back to the house to feature in a pot of Avgolemono Soupa.

6 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup rice
3 eggs, separated
juice of 1 lemon

Boil broth and add rice. Lower heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes until rice is tender. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Beat yolks with lemon juice separately. Fold into stiffened egg whites. Slowly pour two cups simmering broth into eggs, stirring constantly. Pour into remaining broth, stirring constantly.
