[postman]

Real eggs,massive rugby ball sized ones.On wednesday we went to see the mil and fil,mother is not too good at the mo.Also my girls went to see a relative who has a small holding,sheep and chickens,so one dozen were brought home.I had not seen them till this morning,wow what a size and they still have bits of straw stuck to them,they are just boiling away in the pan as i type.Soldiers are nearly ready,thats all folks. Or should i say yolks

My next door neighbour has about thirty trillion chickens, about half a dozen ducks and a couple of geese, she is always leaving a basket of eggs on the door step, very nice they are too, the geese eggs are huge, about the size of Croydon so they are.

You can't get better or fresher than eggs your own chickens have laid. And the yolks are a darker yellow colour. Yum

My landlady has 2 ducks which lay an egg each, each day. Once a week 9 eggs find their way to our house and when they are away from home and we are dog & duck sitting, we get them all.

I have a duck. She lays a few eggs now and again, but somehow I just can't bring myself to eat them. I always give them to my neighbour. I know it's stupid, theres no reason not to eat them. I have however used them when making a cake.

We get our eggs from a colleague of my partner who has chickens. Cracked 4 into a bowl yesterday to whip up some scrambled eggs - all double yolkers!

As long as they don't taste like it as well.

Good point, no they don't, they taste, FAB, really rich yellow yolks, and when you fry them they don't spread across the pan.

 

[welsh dragon]

Old eggs are quite watery and as you say spread out everywhere. Fresh eggs when cracked into a frying pan are quite firm and dont spread

So if you can't bring yourself to eat them, what did you do with the cake? Wear it?

No. I can eat the eggs in a cake, but if it is fried for some reason I just don't fancy eating it. I know odd eh? On the plus side, my neighbour eats them instead, so they don't go to waste.

Tis always useful to keep on the good side of your neighbours, you never know when you need them to dog or duck sit.


Guess who is dog sitting tomorrow?
