We Love Eggs From Our Heads Down to Our Legs.

One of our favorite breakfasts is bacon and eggs.  Back home it was almost a daily meal, sunny side up, Scrambled, omelets, or Noah’s favorite, the egg and the toast cut up in a bowl and mixed together.  I like it with the egg piled on top of a piece of toast and I break apart the yolk to let it run out over the bread and egg.  Then I sop it all up with the other piece of toast while enjoying it all with bacon.  Now, to be able to sop it all up you need a jumbo sized egg, easily found in Oklahoma.  Not in Washington.  Because of this our egg breakfasts have become almost nil.  We have tried finding jumbo eggs at all of the different stores that we shop at to no avail.  We have tried extra-large eggs, but it just isn’t the same.

Well, this week Chad and I went to a grocery store called Trader Joes.   While we were there I checked the eggs and they had the jumbo size, but the eggs were very expensive, $2.79 a dozen.  We didn’t get any but I would keep it in mind for the next time we were in that area.  This past Sunday Chad wanted to make waffles for breakfast and we had run out of eggs.  Since he had started the batter before he found this out he went to The Market, near the house, to get some eggs.  He came back with jumbo eggs!  The little store near us sells jumbo eggs and I became a very happy person that day.  The eggs were still expensive at $2.69 a dozen.  I looked at the carton and read that the farm where the eggs come from is in the next town.  I called them up and guess what?  They sell to the average person!  That’s me!  I am the average person!  So, guess what I did today?

 That’s right, I bought some eggs.  Did you read the box?  I had to purchase 15 dozen at one time, but it was only $1.66 a dozen.  There is some interest from some of the families at Chad’s office wanting to go in with us on the eggs, but with all of us and the way Cody bakes I really think we will be fine before the eggs go bad. 

 
The best part is that as I was telling the man behind the counter my “woe is me” story, he brought up that they sometimes have specials (they didn’t this week).  They will sell the double yolk eggs for a dollar a carton.  I almost jumped over the counter and kissed that man on the lips I was so excited.  Double yolks are our favorite kind of eggs.  We fight over them.  I asked him why they didn’t sell them in the stores.  He told me that they will if the store wants to have a special to sell the eggs at a cheaper price.  What is wrong with these people!  No jumbo eggs.  No double yolks.  That’s okay, I will be more than happy to purchase my double the yolk double the yum eggs for a dollar a dozen.  And, I will enjoy the extra cash in my wallet as well.  Ah, the incredible edible egg. 
 

Now we just need to work on finding some good bacon.  That's a whole other blog post.
