What! Leave My Eggs Alone!

This morning I got 4 eggs out of the carton

of pasture raised eggs.

If I can't get eggs at the farmer's market

I get the best eggs I can at the store.

Pasture raised eggs.

Each carton has a little news paper about the chickens.

I stab a hole in the round end of each egg

to keep them from exploding

as they steam.

These eggs have a very tough shell.

See the bent pin stuck in the paper under to top picture.

Yesterday, I tried to get away without sticking a hole in the eggs.

Didn't work so well.

About half way through steaming I heard a 

POP!

Messy clean up job getting egg out of the steamer basket holes.

So, from now on I will stab my eggs.

Sigh...

I have a hard time not stabbing myself.

I think there is a egg stabber on the market.

I really need to find one of those.

Then when I went to put the carton away

I saw a sticker someone had stuck on the carton.

Good Grief!

I didn't see the sticker until I was putting the carton in the fridge.

I really wish people wouldn't do stuff like this.

I don't think they know what they

are talking about.

Yes, there are a lot of bad things going on

but putting a sticker on my eggs is 

not going to change anything.

Except make me more adverse

to these tactics and message.

Supporting farmers raising pasture raised chickens

by buying their products 

and /or buying eggs at the farmer's market

would be a start in the right direction.

Down with stickers on my eggs!
