9. I envy you your home-grown eggs

there really is a big difference. Meeting my friend's chickens changed my egg buying habits. I hate the thought of those sweet creatures not allowed to run around and have a good time, so I buy only free-range, and even they are very different from store-brand eggs: the yolks are bright orange and have a flavor you can really taste.

I would agree that maybe the first batch of (unknown producer) eggs might just have been fresher than I'm used to, but the second batch was Eggland's Best, and I am sure they are not particularly fresh. In fact, I used them for brownies because their yolks were flat and yellowish.

I think there are some things we are just not meant to understand.
