Will remember that for next time.<br /><br />I agree about hardboiling - you definitely want slightly older eggs for that. I hate it when the white comes away with the shell!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642836504821695236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-37017835060599815612011-06-25T10:39:08.228-04:002011-06-25T10:39:08.228-04:00Like Quinn, boy can I relate to this one, and like...Like Quinn, boy can I relate to this one, and like you I occasionally have to resort to cracking the eggs individually into a separate bowl before they go into the recipe. However, two comments - cats and dogs love those eggs and they won't quibble over slightly less then fresh. Eggs are good for their coats. Second, you'll discover that when it comes to hardboiling and peeling eggs, say for egg or potato salad - you want slightly older eggs, otherwise the shells cling to the whites and they are way harder to peel. Sometimes when I know I want a potato salad I have to hoard a few eggs to get them aged enough to use.Lisa from Iroquois, ONnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-62687756104110644022011-06-24T20:44:19.767-04:002011-06-24T20:44:19.767-04:00Oh, I relate to this!

ALL these eggs will be discarded - I couldn't begin to guess how long they've been there. But how I hate the waste!<br />Glad you were able to figure out the age and freshness of yours.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.com
