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. To purchase a copy of the `Grade A" Family Favourites you can contact the Ontario Egg Producers or visit their Web site at www.eggsite.com. 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."
