She explained how they cooked potatoes and eggs as kids on an open fire. I questioned. They packed mud-like humus or peat around the potato or egg and threw it into the fire, rolling it around a bit. The next morning I prepped and ate breakfast outside, cooking the eggs as she stated. It worked perfectly. Four eggs, hard boiled in about 20 mins. I have done it a few times since, once softboiled with dipped grilled asparagus spears. |

We love eggs and get ours home delivered by the neighbor boys on their 50cc. Now I've learned why they're not washed.

I had some at least month old eggs for breakfast this morning that weren't refrigerated, as my refrigerator is already full of eggs..... It is still possible to occasionally get a bad egg....so if I'm preparing a bunch of scrambled eggs from my unrefrigerated stash, break each egg in individually into a cup....then dump the cup into your bow....don't just crack them all into one bowl, because that bad one you find will ruin the whole batch. You will be certain if you've cracked open a bad egg within seconds. There will be no doubt in your mind...LOL! |

Ah yes the "bad one" you will not forget that experience or have any questions on what a bad egg smells like either. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47187228 Common sense people. Well in does not happen very often with homegrown. Store bought eggs can be up to 2 weeks old by the time you take them home. I actually had a potential customer tell me that he does not buy farm eggs, he "only trusts store bought eggs." Unbelievable. |
