Hi Marketman,
It is quite possible that orange color of duck egg yolks stems from the carotenoids (e.g. lutein, beta-carotene, lycopene) that the duck had consumed and then deposited in the yolk. In that respect, the duck egg above is healthier than the pale chicken egg. With respect to organic chicken eggs, the orange color is an indicator that the hen was consuming a lot of carotene-rich food like leaves. In that case, the orange color is also an indicator of the presence of other fat-soluble nutrients like Vitamin K1 and K2. Maybe the same is true of the duck eggs.

Marisse: does your daughter send you BB box? Ask her if she can buy the vanilla beans on E-bay …they have organic ones. I bought mine for only $22/pound Grade A Madagascar vnilla beans. So I bought 2 pounds and gave me 1/2 pound extra for free! So next time, if you want to make more vanilla extract like “neverending”….leave SOME of your finished vanilla extract in the bottle and pour your next bottle of Rum or Vodka to jumpstart your next bottle of vanilla. Each time you use a vanilla pod (seeds)in your baking,throw the spent pod in the bottle.
