LordFerret Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 You can eliminate all of those problems... and more... with "feggs" (fake eggs). And if that strikes your fancy, there's also futter, facon, filk, ficken, falt & fepper ... and a host of other such products to be discovered!

Expand "Store bought" eggs, like the kind you buy at the grocery store have extremely thing shells because of the hormones given to the chickens to force them to lay on a mass production scale. So it's not for the purpose of a bad egg... but for the very reason stated by Geonovast. However, I have been known to buy fresh, free range eggs from the local farmers' market. And that's a different story. "Bad eggs" do happen from time to time. On 5/2/2019 at 10:01 PM, Geonovast said: I haven't either.

Expand local supermarket. And this was the first case in 2 or 3 years - perhaps a bit more. I was used to drop the eggs on a bow of water before using them - if any part of one floats, it's bad for sure. However, after a couple years (at least) without finding one, I got lazy.

My router seems to have given up on being functionally wireless, and as such, my workshop is most decidedly without a reliable means to be connected.

Expand Once you have had a free-range chicken egg, store eggs tastes like... crap! Seriously, for example, yolks are more orange than yellow. This actually freaks some people out when they first start using them. You'll immediately see it when you crack the egg open. The taste is so much better. I do a lot of baking as a hobby. Whenever I do a butter cake or even a white cake (using just the egg whites), you can really taste the difference a fresh egg can make. Even scrambled eggs or an over easy egg tastes totally different. I always hate the winter months as our local farmers' market does not operate from October to April. The ones you get from the farmers' markets are usually less than a week old. The ones you get from your local grocery store can be three weeks or longer before you buy it. And the cholesterol is actually lower in a free-range chicken egg than a commercial egg farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without thinking, I whacked it as hard as I would a free-range egg on the side of the bowl. My eight year old looked at the many small egg shell fragments in the bowl and busted out laughing. Then she said, "that's why Tony Stark never lets the Hulk make scrambled eggs!"

Expand Meh. We have friends who raise chickens, we buy eggs off of them when they have a surplus. They're good eggs. But, our kids go through three or four dozen eggs a week at this point, and that number is only going to go up from here. Commercial eggs are fine.

Expand I experienced the same when I got a Pneumonia vaccine shot a few months back. And now, this past week, again (left arm), as the VA (Veterans Administration) felt it prudent I receive the Shingles vaccine. It's an age related thing, once you hit 60.

Expand The 'age related thing' is in reference to the VA giving the vaccine, not to getting Shingles. If you've ever had chicken pox, you have the virus (shingles / zoster) inside you; It resides in (various) neural ganglia and can surface and manifest when your immune system is of low resistance - typically faced by the elderly (60+ years). It takes the same neural pathway to the surface each time, so repeat episodes will always start in the same place (on the skin surface). I've not had it (yet), and from what I've seen I don't want it. My neighbor's wife had it on her face, really terrible, and painful... very dangerous if around the eyes.

Expand In the house I've been living in for the last 2 semesters, there have been weeks when we've had to buy 120 eggs, just for that week. Partly it's because one of us is (was, I suppose - he's left now) a boxer, and would eat 8 eggs for breakfast every day, but still. 120 eggs.
