Eeeeek!

We got our "farm fresh" eggs today. They are all different colors. Some are speckled, some are dark brown, some are light brown, there's even a GREEN one! They even came in generic (no logo) egg cartons. We saved our last egg carton to give to the egg lady for next time. No sense in using a new egg carton every time. Reduce, re-use, recycle! I never thought I'd be the hippie type, but here I am....

These are our eggs...

Speckles!

The crazy green one.

We cooked one to try. It looks just like a grocery store egg. It seemed like it was harder to crack though...

I took a video of Mike trying the egg, it turned out pretty hilarious. I'll try to upload it tomorrow. We decided that it tasted like "egg". Mike got over his fear pretty quick. But I have to say that once the eggs were in the house, I got pretty nervous about eating them. They look so different. I think the egg we tried tasted different from the eggs we normally get from the grocery store, but that was probably just in my head. Also, I don't usually eat the yoke, so that probably had a lot to do with it too.

I'm very excited about our venture into growing and eating more "organically" and cutting out bad preservatives in our diet. I think moving to the "country" is going to be a big change for us, but it will help us to slow down and enjoy each other and our family, and not depend on big chain restaurants, fast food (although we really don't eat out much now), and shopping. We've decided not to subscribe to cable when we move into the new place. It's an unnecessary expense and a lazy trap. (We will have an antenna for local digital channels and we can always stream TV shows from Hulu or something). We're just going to have to occupy ourselves with more productive activities like gardening, crocheting, cooking, walking... Things that are cheap and healthy. I'm feeling really good about this move.
