All about eggs…

Eggs are great. The shape, the colors, the taste…lovely. Do I sound like a commercial? We are in the season of eggs and I am surrounded. I surrender!

I started getting local farm fresh eggs through a friend here in Nashville last year. Wow. I did not know what I was missing. The taste, the color, the variety. I love it! Opening a new carton is like opening a present!

Look what Farmer Jim sent me this week. Ok, so I already ate one. A dozen large and a dozen small. Look how tiny some of them are, they are almost too adorable to eat. I can't wait to hard boil some of these little guys and dye them for Easter. I can count at least 5 different breeds of chickens between these 2 boxes. I so adore the blue one, they are my favorite. Sometimes I save the shells. They are just too pretty to compost…
This was my breakfast. I normally only eat 2, but I wanted you to see the different varieties. Can you guess which yolk came from the tiny egg? As though you are in Kindergarten…
The darkest yolk was from the blue egg. Amazing how gold they are, isn't it? You don't get this from the grocery store. You only get eggs this rich from chickens that run around on a farm. True…just read Omnivore's Dilemma
And speaking of eggs, I have been making these for everybody and my brother. Literally, these 3 sets are for my 2 sisters and my brother. I need to mail them off so they get them before Easter…
The nests were left over from a friends wedding and she gave me about 70 of them. Even though they were adorable, I wasn't sure what to do with them until I found the wooden eggs HERE. I painted them white and then used ultra fine permanent markers for the letters and designs.
These are Bagette Ann's…
 Showing you some scale…they are tiny, I am cross-eyed now…
And then, I found these on the world wide web…
 I mean, holy smokes, embroidery on eggs! Find out more HERE. Cross-eyed just thinking about it…
Ok, done, back to our regularly scheduled programming about bags…Teresa

I'm all about eggs right now too. Got some at the farmers market from a Mennonite farm - soooo much better than the ones from the grocery stores. There's one in my lunch bag today!
