Welcome to April, with its showers, occasional shivers and promising sunshine. And here come the questions.

Some very prolific hens in a certain neighborhood produced enough eggs for the whole block, and that left One Neighbor searching her recipe box. “I am missing a recipe that I believe had only three ingredients: a dozen eggs, canned green chilies and cheese. There may have been milk or cream as well. It was suggested for a brunch dish. Can anyone help me?”

Here’s a repeat request for the best wire whisks, including flat whisks. And how about telling us your indispensable kitchen gadget or gadgets? (For Easter dinner at our house, it was the potato ricer.)

If you have been to Camden, South Carolina, and eaten at The Loopy Lemon café, you might have a tip for how to make the soup a former Chattanoogan requested. If not, perhaps you can help her figure out how to prepare something similar. She wrote, “Their soup of the day was a zucchini, pea and basil soup garnished with green chili oil and goat cheese. The vegetables and basil were puréed, I assume, because it was creamy. Must have also had cream.”

Doesn’t that sound delicious, and copy-worthy? And can you help?
