I wrote to them about the gallon milk containers. It took them a long
time to get that changed.

They just changed the eggs they carry - they now identify them all as
(I am trying to remember here now, so not sure) cage free or organic
or both.

AND they no longer carry extra large which is what I prefer.

AND the clear plastic 18 ct packaging sucks, too.

But you are correct - I should write. I am fortunate, though, as
someone in my office raises chickens. I give her bread, she gives me
eggs.

I have a number of recipes which I based on the use of extra-large eggs.

It makes it easier to inspect for breakages, but I transfer the eggs to

I tried reverse sear for 1 inch NY steak the other day and it worked
very nicely. It was one of a package of 3 USDA Choice I'd gotten from
Costco. Cooked the first one the regular way in a cast iron pan. It
was fine, but nothing to rave about. This one was more tender, and
tastier too... after it had been frozen/thawed, so go figger.

I hate that clear plastic egg container. It is so flimsy that it
feels as though it will bend and dump all the eggs. I also prefer the
extra large. I'm going back to Walmart to get eggs. I drive by there
on my way to Costco, Walmart is also the only place in town that
carries the horseradish that comes in the refrigerated case and isn't
doctored up with oils. They are also the only ones that carry the 3
gallon, zipper close Hefty bags. And those humongous Hefty zipper
bags that you can drop your 20 pound turkey in for brining. Walmart
isn't generally a place that I would shop but they carry what I want.
I've asked at other stores but the items that I want are not on their
master warehouse order sheet.

When I want really good eggs, that is with a deep yellow yolk and a good
flavour, I buy them from a particular "organic" supermarket. They have a
good turnover - but you pay!

I have recently been buying eggs from a guy I met at the dog park. He
lives about a mile down the road and has a cooler by the road that
usually has a few dozen fresh eggs. They are all extra large and have
bright yellow yolks. He only has a couple dozen chickens and gets
about 30 eggs per day. He doesn't always have any for sale so any time I
go that way I think about how many eggs we have on hand and if I know we
are low I get a dozen or two.

I've been cooking breakfast fer a couple that has only a minimalist
kitchen. I've gotten to see a whole latta eggs!!

Organic is supposed to mean, NO GMO in the food chain! I tried about
every brand and all they appear to really mean is eggs with
shells-harder-than-Hell around what I'd classify as a generally crappy
egg. Soft yolk that breaks all too often, not very high albumin/yolk,
not particularly orange-ish. I, myself, prefer the regular non-organic
cheapo store eggs.

OTOH, my friends have lately been getting home-raised chicken eggs.
Normal shells, very high albumin/yolk, very Trump-colored yolk. I
cannot vouch for the home-raised chickens being fed a non-GMO food
chain, but they look mighty like the home-raised chicken eggs I usta
buy from a former boss. When? Long before GMOs.

I, too, am not a fan of WalMart, but confess that they carry a couple
of (non-grocery) things I cannot get elsewhere. I wait until I have
at least $50 worth of them, then order it free shipping online.

My sister-in-law and niece and her baby are visiting from Oroville CA. Oddly enough, it seems that the damn disaster has uncovered a pretty good vein of gold. In this case, the dark cloud has a gold lining.

My niece has some egg laying chickens. Here's a picture of her eggs. That's their natural color.

Different color eggs from different types of chickens.

I'd go for the most normal color - unfortunately, there's no white eggs.

That comment sure sounds racist. The various egg shell colors have no
bearing whatsoever on the egg's nutritional value or flavor.
BTW, most laid eggs, whether bird or reptile, are not white.

I detest crappy IHOP style pancakes, if I feel like pancakes they're
going to be potato latkes

It is not just IHOP. It seems to me that just about every restaurant I
have been to that specializes in pancakes makes really bad pancakes....
and waffles. I don't understand it. Pancakes and waffles are easy to
make from scratch. Sure there is some labour involved, but there is a
big enough markup in prices but for what they charge they should be able
to make good scratch products. I know that real maple syrup costs more,
but there are decent semi maple syrup products that they could offer
something a lot better. And why a huge stack of pancakes with shitty
syrup when they could offer better pancakes with a decent syrup. Have
three good ones instead of a stack of 6 crappy ones.

I simply don't care for pancakes even when made properly... they just
don't appeal to me... even the best are just syrup sponges.
I'd much rather a stack of french toast made with eggy bread like
brioche or challah, stacked with a runny fried egg between each, needs
no syrup.

I guess we will have to disagree about that because I make pancakes and
waffles from scratch and they are pretty good.

I also make pancakes from scratch and I love them.
Make them maybe once every 6 months. I do like them
thin though. I basically add twice the amount of milk
so they are very thin...like crepes. My large pan
will cook three at a time.

I don't like the thick cake-like ones. Mine are
very thin and moist. Butter each one.

I have real maple syrup that I use half the time.
I also like the Log Cabin type syrup though.
I'll use one or the other depending on my mood.

Anyway, so easy to whip up a batch from scratch so
I usually make a double batch.

Sometimes, I'll even finish off a batch by cooking
the rest of the batter, then freezing 4-5 cakes
in a tupperware bowl. They freeze well and just
microwave them back to hot for more at a later date.

Frozen then microwaved taste just as good as fresh cooked.

Pancakes to me are junk food, just a way to suck up lots of sugary
syrup and butter. It's really toddler food, when the grands were
small it was all they'd eat for breakfast, and most times when I
bothered to make them from scratch they just picked at them so I
wasted my time and effort, so then all they got were Eggos. They
preferred the Eggos waffles and had to fill every hole with syrup.
They wouldn't eat much of those either but they sure made a sticky
mess. Eventually I introduced them to frozen bananas for breakfast,
they loved those.

The only way I'll eat pancakes are in a stack of four with a runny
fried egg between each. The last time I ate that has to be some ten
years ago. However I do like blinis, actually blinis made into
blintzes. Seafood blintzes were the appetizer for my wedding meal,
the catering people called them seafood crepes on the menu but in fact
they were seafood blintzes.
