Thanks to the chickens

Some of you know we eat a lot of eggs, well.....actually, I eat a lot of eggs.  We easily go through almost 2 dozen eggs in a week!

You can buy eggs from almost anywhere here...

the commissary on base

Japanese grocery stores

outdoor markets 

AND 

vending machines!!

By the way, Japanese eggs taste better. We think the chickens aren't pumped with any kind of hormones, but we're not really sure.  The yolks are almost orange so they might just have radiation from Fukushima. ;)

So yesterday we desperately needed eggs and I desperately wanted to get them from a vending machine.   

Right out side one of the gates is this sign:

We've seen this sign many times before, but just hadn't had the chance to stop.  

{200 yen for a bag}

{up close}

Walk right up, deposit 200 yen into the slot and pick your bag of eggs!!
Here they are....

So I'm saying a BIG THANK YOU to the local chickens for making my day. :)
