The color of the egg has more to do with the breed of hen than anything else. How healthy the eggs are is more a function of how the chickens are raised and cared for.

The best eggs are usually blue, cause they come from the neighbor down the street

true

best eggs are from free range chickens that eat bugs and earthworms...both of which are 19% protien...

but the public perception is typically that brown are more Natural than white...

i had these large Mallard eggs once, and the yolks were so orange and full of iron or what ever... and they knocked me out worse than a tryptophan coma after thanksgiving .........they were so rich !

I always use better eggs when making fresh pasta. It adds a richness that's really noticeable and they are much more viscous.

Whole Foods has a free range egg that's pretty close to the real deal, but even the best eggs at the local joints, while good aren't the real thing.

Mario Batali supposedly has cayenne pepper added to the feed of the hens that produce eggs for his restaurants in NYC as it makes the yolks more orange

Brown eggs come from Rhode Island Reds, so I was led to understand - a damned fine bird if ya ask me...

I dunno know if anyone was asking me or not, just thought I'd throw in my .02...:


"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I'm waiting to hear from our furnace guy.......Crapped out last night, no heat, Hope he calls or it could be a long weekend.

Cranked up the pellet stove last night though and kept the house toasty....but I'm not a fan of cold showers (keep the comments to a minimum)

You could always take a snow bath

Or if worse comes to worst, heat up water, put it 2 or 3 liter soda bottles and "shower" with those. (I did that many years ago when I lost heat in an old apartment. Fortunately I had a heated waterbed at the time.)

Good luck!

Much ado about not very much. Its only snow. The biggest deal is some school districts, like East Brdigewater, were given the whole day off. Now parents have to make alternative sitting plans for the young ones. The rest of the schools have half-a-day. Geez, when they get out at 2 p.m. they might have two inches of snow on the ground, maybe none. Everybody stay safe later.
