I mentioned in passing that I'd purchased some fresh eggs recently. Normally I wouldn't say eggs are much to write about, however these eggs were truly incredible.
I picked up the eggs somewhat on a whim at one of the agencies my non-profit company works with. I was there for work but I could pass up farm fresh cage free eggs that were $2.99 for a dozen. Eggs are never that inexpensive, particularly free range eggs. The place I got them from, Central Islip Civic Council was pretty awesome as well. It's basically an old homestead, with a garden and a blacksmith and chickens and a garden in the middle of neighborhood that is otherwise pretty sketchy. Shout out to CI Civic Council for doing great work with kids as well as providing social services and a food pantry.
Anyway, they told me I would notice a difference in the color of the eggs and the flavor and I have to say they were right. The outside of the eggs looked a little dirty, but definitely very natural, like they literally just came from under a chicken.
I washed them off, just for good measure. Once I cracked them open they
were such a vibrant shade of yellow. It was definitely a noticeable
difference from any kind of store bought egg- free range or not. The
color was like sunshine yellow yolk. Not only were they super yellow looking, I also thought they tasted better. I can't really tell you exactly why, but they just seemed fresher and tastier. I might have to go back there specifically to get some eggs because the price is so ridiculously good and they are so delicious. No more $5.00 eggs for me! I used some today and I still have 3 left but I think I shouldn't let them sit around too long. I turned the first ones into a nice omelet with tomatoes. Yay! Definitely a food win!
