EGGS-actly!

We used to always see this commercial on television when we were younger. The theme song has been going through my head all day...

See, here in New England, we pretty much only see white eggs around Easter time. The rest of the year you tend to avoid them because, well, they must be sub-standard, rejects, overstock from some far away place because...

Brown Eggs Are Local Eggs, And Local-Eggs-Are-Fresh!!

Yes, I have no idea if it's true or not, but I always lean towards the brown eggs because brown-eggs-are-local-eggs-and-local-eggs-are-fresh. It's been drilled into my head since infancy.

Now THESE! ...I have no idea where these came from....

I'm going to guess this one is from the midwest, where amber waves of grain blow in the breeze...

This one? Hawaii...

This has got to from the Amazon, so I'll say Brazil....

Who Dat?! Hello, New Orleans....

Ah, some place in the Caribbean, maybe Aruba ...

This one? It reminds me of the ocean, so I'm going to say somewhere off the coast of Maine...or maybe the Azores...

This one reminds me of Arizona for some reason...must be the turquoise in it!

THIS is my favorite one....

All the way from Romania, where one of the Weasley brothers is working with dragons....

It looks like a dragon egg, doesn't it?

Just for the record, we did nothing special to achieve this special effect...we just plopped this one in the blue dye and, um, forgot about it...for about an hour.

I'm doing that again NEXT year!

Happy Easter, everyone!

I love you "exotic" eggs from all over the world!

Around here, brown eggs are more expensive than white eggs. I have no idea which are fresher since local farms have white, brown, and even blue eggs.

brown or white...which ever is on sale. Those eggs don't look anything like what we had as kids..or what Liam and I made when he was younger. He isn't into doing any of that anymore:(
