Eggs

We had the strangest experience when we visited our egg supplier. We were chatting with the farmer, asking such questions as ‘Can I see what the chickens are fed on?’ and ‘How fresh can we expect the eggs to be?’, when he unexpectedly opened a side-door in his office, directly on to his barn where lots of chickens were waddling around. He said, ‘Put out your hand’, and a hen promptly laid a warm egg into Samuel’s palm. Although comical, we found the moment surprisingly touching. Now, with each tortilla we make, we can’t help but think of the miracle each egg represents.
