A Thought Or Two About Eggs

I am a big fan of the egg. Cheese omelets were the only source of protein for the boy it seems. I know I seem obsessed with the boy’s eating habits but unless one has a uber picky eater, one doesn’t know the troubles I’m seen…
I know the boy has grown to be a big strapping young man. I will say this without any pride whatsoever; it is and will always be my biggest accomplishment in life. Because had it not been for the little egg, I swear the boy would be emaciated.
So it was very disconcerting when last month when eggs were being recalled left and right. To tell you the truth, I haven’t bought any eggs since then. It’s probably alright, America has the most sophisticated and trustworthy food system in the world. And there are many wonderful local producers. And I’m sure all the bad eggs (hehehe) have already been recalled. I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about, you should see the markets in Algeria. Do I sound like I’m trying to talk myself into this?
Anyway, anyone eating eggs now? Did anyone stop eating eggs for a while? Am I the only one?
If you reassure me that the danger has passed, I have the perfect recipe to try…
It apparently wasn’t in our region so I’m not concerned. I did just read an interesting article on NPR about how safe the actual egg is if if comes from a healty chicken. They are very resistent to a lot of things.
honestly i remember hearing about the recall but didn’t think twice about the eggs in our fridge. It kinda went in one ear out the other. We eat alot of eggs, personally I have eggs about 4 times a week for breakfast. I do want to look into get more local farmed eggs though.
I checked our eggs and they weren’t in the recall, so we’re eating them!
In case you still have the heebie jeebies, you can get local eggs, from grain-fed chickens, at the North Beach Farmer’s Market on Friday nights.
