It started when we discovered this fireplace buried under years of vegetation beside Echo Bridge. The next step was learning that some of our Upper Falls neighbors were raising chickens and have a steady supply of fresh eggs.  It all lead to a very spontaneous neighborhood breakfast about a year ago – The Eggcelent Breakfast.
We checked the weather forecast a few days ago and Sunday is looking like a perfect day so we’ve decided it’s time for another Eggcelent Breakfast. Here’s the deal, we’ll be supplying eggs, bacon, griddles and a fire. You bring something else for breakfast and chairs for yourselves. Send an email ([email protected]) and let us know if you’re coming and what you might be bringing. Look for us just below Echo Bridge on the Newton side of the river. Breakfast starts at 10 AM.
Our Falls farmers Julie Irish and Dean Whitney will be providing the Upper Falls eggs from the coops of Upper Upper Falls at the top of Cottage St – “where the air is thin and clear and the chickens like it that way”. For those who prefer more exotic imported eggs, we’ll also be serving Nonantum eggs from the flock of Megara Bell & Brian Flaherty.
You decide who’s got the best eggs. Is it those robust eggs from the northern climes of Nonantum or the Falls favorite high altitude eggs?  Egg trash talking welcomed
Come on down! Everyone welcome.
A fine morning it was.
We went through 8 dozen Upper Falls & Nonantum eggs. The guests brought all sorts of wonderful and interesting foods – including some homemade sausages and home smoked bluefish. It was a great and friendly crowd and everyone seemed to have a fine time.
Special thanks to Maureen Reilly-Meaher for cooking all those eggs, Marty Malkesian for sausage duty, Lee Fisher & Evan Westrate for turning that overgrown hillside into a welcoming park yesterday, Jeff Riklin who as always was the man behind the scenes pulling it all together and to all the guests for their contributions of foods, drinks, and supplies.
Now that its happened twice I think we can officially dub it in the Annual Eggcelent Breakfast. See you next year!
