things out of eggs and one of
the things that seems to be a
favourite is one that our
whole family can get
involved with," said Huron
County planner and egg
farmer Carol Leeming.
Their recipe, a scromelette,
is a mix between scrambled
eggs and an omelette that
includes green pepper,
zucchini, celery stalk,
onions, garlic and cheese.
"It's (This recipe is) our
family of five working
pictured with their children
Ontario Egg Producers' 40th
together in the kitchen,"
Leeming said. "We get our
meal done a little quicker
and it's fun."
Their farm, Leeming Farm
Ltd., began in 1987 when
Carol and her husband Bob
married and purchased a
100 -acre farm in
Tuckersmith Township.
Their family includes two
daughters, Jessie and Laura,
and a son, Troy.
Although she's not sure
where her family got the
recipe for the scromelette,
Leeming said that her family
has made it their own.
"It's kind of our recipe,"
she said.
The 307 -page book is
organized into six categories:
appetizers and beverages;
salads and side dishes; old
and new classics; main
dishes; cookies, squares and
breads and desserts.
"I think this is a great
project to help celebrate egg
farming as a family
business," Leeming said.
"It'll be a nice collector's
item for us to keep."
In addition, the book also
offers egg cooking and
baking tips, egg trivia and
advice on nutrition, storage,
handling and basic egg
cooking techniques.
Some of the Leeming
family's favourite egg dishes
include quiche, scrambled
eggs and flat eggs.
"Probably the easiest ones •
(types of eggs) are ones you
really don't need a recipe
for," said Leeming, adding
her family sometimes often
add milk, veggies or cheese
to eggs.
"We always have eggs in
our fridge," she said.

Elementary teachers work to rule
Though a contract has yet to be reached
between the Avon Maitland District School
Board and its elementary teachers, the
board's top human resources official says an
ongoing work -to -rule campaign has had
minimal effects on students.
"There's a small impact in terms of
teachers not attending staff meetings, but no
impact on students," said Avon Maitland
superintendent Jim Sheppard last week. "I
think the teachers are handling it very well."
In the London-based Thames Valley
District School Board, the distribution of
report cards was recently delayed because of
a similar labour action -- a campaign which
has seen Elementary Teachers Federation of
Ontario (ETFO) locals in all but two of the
province's English public school boards on
work -to -rule throughout much of March.
But according to Sheppard, that delay was
caused by the Thames Valley local's refusal
to allow teachers to print the report cards; in
the Avon Maitland board, printing is the
responsibility of Educational Assistants, who
aren't represented by ETFO.
"Our teachers have done the report cards;
they're all written and being sent out,"
Sheppard explained.
Provincial ETFO stewards were expected
to meet with local representatives around the
end of March, and Sheppard suggested that
could potentially lead to some further
escalation of labour action.
But he expressed confidence the local
relationship remains strong, adding the two
sides have continued to meet regularly.
"We've agreed on a number of issues and
signed off on them," the human resources
superintendent said. "I think it's a sign that
we are making some progress."
