Supporting Small Businesses : Organic Farm-Fresh Eggs

We always get our fresh eggs from this nice old lady selling them in the corner of KFC San Pablo. She is usually there every Thursdays. I find it sad that Nanay still has to work hard despite her age, but she says that she needs to work in order to buy her meds, which can be a sad reality for a lot of the senior folks here in the Philippines.

here's a photo of nanay

It's a good thing that Zepp is fond of scrambled eggs and can eat them everyday. I also like putting them in my instant noodles, so our family consumes a lot of them, about a tray a week in fact (that's 30 eggs!).

she can be found here every thursdays

I always make sure that I can find the time to drop by the corner where Nanay frequents so I can purchase her eggs and help her in my own little way.

they're yuge -- bigly yuge. And I have big hobbit hands.

They are sold at Php10 a piece. A bit more expensive than those found in the supermarket, but I do not mind. They are also double-yolked, the shells are thick, and the yolks have a rich color which I love. Perfect for sunny-side ups. Being double-yolked also means that it's a bit challenging to make the perfect AjitsukeTamago (Japanese solf boiled eggs with the perfect runny yolk) but I do not mind a little imperfection, just like Zeppelin, who is perfectly imperfect and yet he holds my heart.

a lot of customers came in since I came, I let them go ahead as they're only buying 4-5 pieces. she says she thinks I'm her lucky charm lol. like a huge, brown, bearded, tattooed buddha with nerdy glasses or something.

If you haven't read it yet, please do take the time to read the beautifully-written A Day In The Clouds which chronicles one of Zepp's misdaventures.
