  We get most of our eggs from our neighbours. They are free range but they do their ranging on the far side of their property. When we first moved here the original neighbours had free range chickens. Sometimes when out mowing the lawn I  would come across eggs. I wish I had had a way to know if they were freshly laid of if they had been sitting in the hot sun for a week. Sometimes we would BBQing out on the patio and the girls would come by too visit. First one would show up, then a couple more and a couple more.
 

I like boiled eggs and people who cook like my grandpa used to with their eggs, not stir fried and thrown on a plate.  This place serves eggs as an abomination.  They have fouled the egg, although their boiled eggs are delicious.  You should see their "cheese."  I usually ask to not have it.  For me, I'm not paying attention to egg prices, but I am certainly seeing a good deal of complaint which I haven't found a way to ignore yet.
