Amazing Husband Yummy Eggs

As many other people now-a-days I am on the hunt for the most healthy and fresh food for our family. So you can imagine my excitement when my husband came home one day from work and asked me if I would be interested in buying eggs from one of his friends who has chickens. YES!!!!! To my dismay we had just gotten eggs from the store the day before so I was on a mission to eat/use them asap!! And for the first time in a long while we went through a dozen eggs in about 3 days. So that next day my husband put in our order for 12 farm fresh eggs :) yayyyyy.

After an agonizing two day wait he finally brought them home.

arent they beautiful!!!

I grew up with farm fresh eggs. My great grandparents had chickens when i was growing up and we lived next door to them so I got the benefit of helping my “mamaw” go out and get the eggs from the hens enclosure on many occasions. Not only did they have chickens our other friends in the neighborhood had chickens (among other farm animals) and my friends and I would go and play with them and collect the eggs.
So not only are fresh eggs yummy and great for me and my family there is this amazing nostalgia I get from seeing the brown and greenish white eggs in a carton each morning when I go to make breakfast.

So all that being said today was the first day I have had a chance to cook one and eat it. And it was just as AMAZING as I remember. If you have never had a fresh egg (and by fresh I mean not from the super market) you have got to try it. The yolk is so much more rich and yummy and the whites aren’t as slimy and snot looking they are actually appetizing. Ha!

Breakfast today made me long for the day that i have the space and a back yard functional enough for chickens. I can't wait to have memories with my kids teaching them about where food comes from and showing them fresh eggs being laid.

for all of the reasons above i would like to say how greatful i am for my husband knowing how much i would love getting fresh eggs and being willing to pay more for them and bring them home from work whenever we need them and also for being willing to ask his friend if i could bring the kids sometime to get the eggs themselves so that they can have that experience since we wont be able to have our own little chicken coop for quite some time.
kudos good sir! well done! you rock! and I LOVE YOU!
