I us...I thought the plain eggs were implicit!<br /><br /> I usually buy brown-shell eggs. There's no reason for one shell color over another in general, but I do prefer eggs from free-range chickens, who have had a chance to eat a few bugs or other protein (chickens will go after a mouse nest in a scary way, I'm told), and the local market usually only has those with brown shells.<br /><br /> Locally-Grown Gardens has farm-fresh free-range eggs with lovely big orange yolks -- but they have limited quantities and I don't get over there as often as I wish.<br /><br /> A good-quality uncooked egg has a relatively strong shell, unclouded white and a brightly-colored yolk tending towards orange. Really fragile shells and pale-yellow yolks usually mean factory-farm eggs. Nothing wrong with them but they don't have a lot of flavor compared to the ones with bigger, brighter yolks.<br /><br /> (I still think duck eggs are better for baking, but we had a good source of them when I was growing up: a pair of white ducks, who could be relied on for a pair of eggs every morning. They seemed puzzled by those strange white things, and were happy we took them out of the nest. Duck eggs are strong-flavored when cooked by themselves, though I liked them well enough.)Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-66696355190011494302020-08-12T15:17:34.430-04:002020-08-12T15:17:34.430-04:00So you can make a green omelette without breaking ...So you can make a green omelette without breaking a few green eggs?JayNolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968502576630432928noreply@blogger.com
