The Country Eggs
Lately we have been the recipients of beautiful and tasty fresh eggs from Cimarron. James and Emiko’s friend, Rosemary has chickens and whenever we go home to visit, we get to enjoy their eggs and also bring some home. Last time we were there, we got two dozen of these golden orbs of goodness.
The country eggs
Emiko used to call these “Country Eggs,” and they are as beautiful on the inside as they are outside. Unlike in store-bought eggs, the yolks of the country egg are a deep orange, not yellow. And you get three times the egg taste, rich and flavorful. They are big too. Most of them would be in the “jumbo” category or even bigger. When Rosemary brought them by, she gave us a dozen that were hatched the day before and a dozen that came out of the nest that morning. Now that’s fresh.

Those eggs do look good – think the carton in my refrig has expired a few days ago – wish there was an egg farm selling to the public around here

The make a kick-ass omelet. We have most of the second dozen left to eat.

I have the same bowl! But alas, mine isn’t filled with fresh eggs. =( Nice to read up on and see your cross-country adventures.

Great minds think alike – but Susan takes the credit for the bowl. Glad you found the blog Ann Marie.
