I'm not terribly keen on lemon curd, but I think I may make some just to get the peel!! I'm not surprised your chickens' eggs are so much yellower - it's being able to scratch around in the open ground. We found this when we used to keep chickens.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-5319816859000615012009-12-15T20:17:55.771-08:002009-12-15T20:17:55.771-08:00I bet your kitchen smelled wonderful from all thos...I bet your kitchen smelled wonderful from all those lemons!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778054413371087920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-15496905028963369812009-12-15T19:27:47.274-08:002009-12-15T19:27:47.274-08:00Dan, Oh I hate it when I miss opportunities like t...Dan, Oh I hate it when I miss opportunities like that.

It would be interesting to do a side by side tasting though. <br /><br />I have noticed that the girls' eggs have more body than the store bought ones - the whites don't spread out as much and the yolks seem thicker also.
