i cracked open the first egg

I was surprised at how difficult it was to stir up my girls' eggs. They're a lot firmer than the commercials! And soo pretty!

 

This much I will testify to... my home grown eggs make much better pies, cakes, cookies,but especially meringue. I can taste a definite difference cooking with them.

Okay, that's it! When I get home I'm cracking open 2 of my first 3 eggs (saving the very first!) with the entire family to ooooh and aaaah. And then I'll probably scramble it and we will each have a tiny bite. I'll report back on if there's a taste difference.

 

Quote:I used to be such a failure when it came to meringue...mine would never stiffen up before I had chickens. Now my Mom wants to know what I "put in my meringue" to make it stiffen up! Fresh eggs definitely are far better.

 

Did you know that you can NOT make a meringue in a plastic bowl the oil from the bowl will stop it from stiffening......that explained sooo much .........

 

I am a chiropractor and I have been showing all of my patients the picture of our first egg (scrambled cuz my kid wanted it that way) next to our grocery store "ORGANIC" egg. Hmmmm, makes you really think about our food supply doesn't it!?
