Thanks! Just had to grin at your response! We get our eggs from a niece who raises her chickens organically .... is that a word? I LOVE them... and use them wherever and whenever..... when DH or DD happen to have to handle them.... you have to cover your ears. Sometimes my deviled eggs aren't quite as pretty as the others.... BUT....mmmmm..... they sure are tasty!
