You lucked out this day to have found such good eggs....the color sounds delicious! One thing the French (and most Europeans) do is to leave the eggs unrefrigerated, just hanging around in the kitchen.... oh, in a beautiful basket...they know they are fresh and they know they came from... just down the street....oh so civil! I have returned just today...thanks for inquiring...I have missed you, too!Jannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121472782540485266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-65770996829564132832007-04-25T08:31:00.000-07:002007-04-25T08:31:00.000-07:00Chistine they do look blue and strangely enough I ...Chistine they do look blue and strangely enough I have just been reading my Country Living Magazine and it says any hens with white ear lobes lay white eggs and Araucanas lay beautiful eau-de-nil ones while most to the other lay tinted eggs....never really thought about it before.

Maybe again some day...<BR/><BR/>Hello Deborah,<BR/>Thanks for visiting. I checked out your very nice blog. Sorry I haven't left a comment yet but I will.<BR/><BR/>Mimi,<BR/>I'm with you. Ralph was such a whimsical guy and if he said jelly was good with an omelet sometimes, I'd believe him.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Ahn. Nice to see you here!<BR/><BR/>Thank you too, Anne. Do the eggs look white on your computer? They are a beautiful shade of blue. I was afraid to enhance the photo in photoshop, it was so beautiful. Maybe I should have.<BR/>The flour added to the omelet really takes it out of the omelet realm and puts it more in the souffle or crustless quiche arena, or, as katie says, Yorkshire pudding. I didn't want to mess with the recipe or the story so I left that little aside out.<BR/><BR/>Hiya Tanna. Love your comments! :))<BR/><BR/>Katie,<BR/>When you make it, post it. I'd love to see what you come up with.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269469384082089761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-40303940514392715852007-04-24T12:45:00.000-07:002007-04-24T12:45:00.000-07:00Does that ever look good!Kind of a cross between a...Does that ever look good!<BR/>Kind of a cross between a Yorkshire Pudding and an omelet (with the flour and milk).<BR/>I'll make this!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106770684223181487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-72312976032566828762007-04-24T10:46:00.000-07:002007-04-24T10:46:00.000-07:00Good Golly ... what a wonderful memory and then to...Good Golly ... what a wonderful memory and then to have somebody who loves you cook it for you!!

I did notice when I stopped with my cousin just outside of Orlando that there only appeared to be white eggs in the supermarket so it was nice to hear farmgirl cyn saying that she had a mixture of coloured eggs. It's not very often you find such white eggs here in England and the yolks look really yellow. My brother keeps chicken and the pretty ones he has are lavender pekins and they lay very pale blue eggs. I love the story Christine.<BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-20925418858783151672007-04-23T19:20:00.000-07:002007-04-23T19:20:00.000-07:00A beautiful post Christine!

Two of my hens are Aracaunas, so I get the lovely blue eggs, plus brown eggs from my Isa Browns. (tho, I think they are beginning to molt, so my egg production will be drastically reduced in a very short time)Farmgirl Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596602094024708943noreply@blogger.com
