Well I was for a minute, but then I found some leftover sloth and baby panda frittata in the back of the frigidaire.

Yesterday at the store I found a jar of this....

Part of my dinner last night was a buttered sweet potato, I put a spoonful of this on top and mixed it in.

Took the sweet potato to the next level.

Could really taste the almonds, and the pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds.

With the pork sausage with ham and cheddar cheese mixed in, the meal was quite decadent.

What are OD eggs?

@chai2,

Olive drab. The color of Army fatigues before they went to cammo.

Funny thing about that camo. Way back when I was in the army, they came out with camouflage fuel tanks at the air field. If you got up within 10', you could read "No Smoking within 5o'" Brilliant!

@chai2,

It's a reference to the color--OD green, which means olive drab. The United States Army (and later the Marines) used OD green for their "utility" or "fatigue" uniforms. This is an OD green field jacket:

This is a Vietnam War helmet:

These are green eggs (from a French hen?):

@Setanta,

I bet. After twelve years of it at school bottle green and Black Watch tartan make me ill.

Even our knickers had to be bottle green. And they sometimes CHECKED!

The French Hen's eggs are close to the color of robin's eggs . We haven't had any Robins nesting for a few years, but we do get the Mockingbirds.....they are uber protective.

@ehBeth,

Wow!

Edited to say I couldn't open the choir link but I saw the fox. Never would have dreamed it.

@glitterbag,

I couldn't find an image of the eggs which really are olive drab. At any event, I wasn't going to put a lot of time on it.

@Joeblow,

Ain't that incredible? She doesn't seem impressed by the humans--she just keeps an eye on the kits.
