Lots of co-worker and food stories. Stewart and his wife, Cindy, have a farm in Snoqualmie. A small farm. Chickens, turkeys, maybe some goats. They let the hens lay eggs naturally, and do not use artificial lights or anything to trick them into laying more eggs. I’m sure Stewart could go on about the other stuff they do, and as I learn more I can report back. The small farm life is really quite fascinating. I’ve been meaning to try Cindy’s damn fine poultry on for size since I learned of the farm. Lucky for me, Stewart came by on Friday (his day off) with free eggs for a select few (woohoo!). The husband had one in his salad last night, and this morning I gingerly fried one up for breakfast. I wanted sunny-side up but we have no bread in the house so I would have nothing to mop up the yolk with, so before I smashed the yolk and cooked it “overeasy-smashed”, as we like to say in our household, I snapped a picture.

My camera does not do it justice, but the amazing thing about these organic, homegrown eggs is the bright color of the yolk. What a beautiful color. Makes me wonder what those commercial farms (even the organic ones we purchase) are doing to their hens.
