Many of my real-food-blogging comrades have written more about eggs than could fit in a crowded factory chicken farm (from which we do not recommend buying eggs). Here’s a lot of information on, recipes for, and pretty pictures of eggs.

Thank you. I need to look into these. This would be a good research project. I know what store sells the best and cheapest coconut oil but I don’t know what local farm/stand sells the best and cheapest eggs. Sad, really.
