Fresh Eggs
One of the professors in Ben's department studies sexual selection in chickens, which means he has a lot of chickens. And chickens lay eggs. And the prof doesn't want any more chickens, so guess where the eggs go?!? That's right - to us! And they're free!! We just recently got added to the "Egg list," so now this guy comes around every so often with little bags of eggs for us. They're on the smaller side, and I think they get some cement in their diet because their shells are hard! But free, fresh, delicious eggs - what a deal!

That is one of the greatest things at University as a graduate student. Usually in the end of summer, during the harvest season, school faculties and stuffs brought fresh squashes, tomatoes, peppers to the department. But I had never seen any chicken egg.
