HOW TO TUESDAY

It's my first How-To-Tuesday ...

How to find the proverbial "good egg". Run a good size bowl full of cold water. Add your egg (DON'T CRACK IT!). If the egg lays on the bottom, it's fresh. If the large end of the egg floats a little higher, it's 7 to 10 days old. If the egg stands straight with the large end up, it's at least a month old. If it floats, don't eat it!

  4. I can't tell you how many times this little bit of knowledge has saved me from poisoning my entire family. :)

    We get 4 dozen farm fresh eggs from the Portugese lady down the street for the entire summer. we can't possibly eat them all, so I check them routinely.
