A Few of My Favorite Things: Brown Eggs
I found these at Trader Joe’s (for less cashola than grocery store eggs, which is why TJs is a “fav thing” too). Do they taste better? Not that I can tell, but they’re just so darn cute!
P.S. One benefit I have noticed … they seem to crack better because the shells are a bit harder.
P.P.S. Do you know why brown eggs are brown and white eggs are white? Someone I know swore it was because white eggs were bleached. I knew that wasn’t it, but had to Google it on the iPhone to prove it. So … do you know … without Googling?

Amber, I heard that egg color was related to the type of chicken that layed the eggs. I have friends who raise a varitety of fowls in Jeff Co, and they get a variety of colored eggs from their various chicks. My local market, Freddies, recently started carrying double yolk eggs! I agree with you though about getting eggs from TJ’s. I was having problems digesting eggs. I thought I had become allergic, however, my doctor said that I’m not allergic to eggs, rather, I’m allergic to the fed that the chickens eat. Since I stopped eating Schnucks eggs and buying eggs at Trader Joes, or at Sappington International Farmer’s Marekt, no more problems!

Aracanas lay greenish, bluish to grey eggs. They are very pretty.
