A blast from the past. When I was growing up I can remember telling servers to "blindfold" his eggs and I never quite understood what he meant. Thank you for bring back that memory of my dad.

We have been buying the Blue Eggs from Costco for almost a year now. At $7.99 / 18 eggs they are certainly no bargain, but they are incredibly great tasting eggs! Better than the brown ones and heads and tails above the white ones. It took my wife a while to get used to looking and orange eggs instead of yellow but in the beginning I would make mixed omelets. I put in two blue ones and 3 brown ones, Then increased it gradually until she got used to seeing the orange yokes. The blue eggs are healthier and taste much better than the white or brown. Again, no bargain price wise - but great tasting, healthier eggs.
There are a few exceptions..... when baking my "famous" cheesecake, I use brown eggs (yellow yokes) as the blue ones make the cheesecake darker and unusual looking to some. Also in a cheesecake the difference in taste would be undetectable.

The Iowa farm method is cooking the egg in a covered skillet at medium heat and dropping in a few drops of cold water. You can have 'skinned over' yolks from runny to hard. Works with any grease or oil.
I mean, you can buy chickens at Big R. Big R sexes them. So you will get all hens. Hens do not need a rooster to lay eggs.
We went out to the Goat Ranch on Easter Sunday. I wasn't paying attention but my wife later told me that she watched our daughter give away six dozen eggs to her children. She then gave us two dozen eggs.
According to my wife she still had 80 to 100 eggs left that her husband was going to take to work the next day and sell. I don't know what he was charging for farm fresh eggs but he sells everything he takes to work.

Big R is excellent!
I have a egg steamer to hard boil mine. It holds 10 at a time. I will have one with my turkey sausage breakfast croissant every other day or so. When I feel the need for a snack after dinner I will often have one then. A wee bit of salt and a fair amount of pepper is all I want on them.

How you are supposed to eat. Prepared food is the worst crap you can put in your body. Bet your Granny lived to be an old lady. God Bless her.
we're down to 4 hens(eagles,hawks) so we're down to about 2 eggs a day. But we still have plenty in the fridge...we give a few away to some needy folks...on a good turn...my wife bought 12 chicks 6 Buff Orpingtons and 6 Buff Cochins...about 1 1/2-2 more months or so and they'll be laying...baring raids by the eagles and hawks

OK, now we have egg prices out of the stratosphere, why is OJ stupid money? I was in two stores yesterday and left both without juice. Not happening at $8-$8.50 a jug.
Then there is soda. The stores here seem to think it is up there with premium gas. Fortunately, I stocked up at the beginning of spring when the prices were sensible.

401k earnings aren't up like that, or really not at all.
My 401K is up 8+% so far this year. It has almost picked back up everything I pulled out last year to use on home improvements since Mom passed last August. Need to make the place mine now.

I like eggs but don't eat them daily. However, I couldn't imagine eating one regardless of how it was fixed without at least Tabasco, though something hotter and / or a salsa would be even better. And fresh ground black pepper, of course.
Mine are flat and were down easily 10% earlier this year. Once I have to start taking distributions in a few years I think I'll just buy CDs.

Breakfast isn't breakfast w/o eggs. I can skip the meat, but not eggs and a donut and coffee is a snack, not a meal.
Two fond memories of my mom; when I was a wee lad she would make me a Chuckie egg with fingers. She would dampen slices of bread as to not soak up too much grease, fry them in bacon grease and cut them into strips. She would put a soft boiled egg in an egg cup, cut the top off and I would dip the fingers into the runny yolk.
I loved her Scotch eggs. Ruthie makes them.
Bloody marvelous they are.
