Just tried the float or sink test on a dozen freerange eggs that have been in my fridge for a month. All but one floated – but I was desperately needing some eggs so I pegged my nose and started breaking them open. They were all fine! Dont know bout this test? All were fine but all floated?

Gross! I'm good for forgetting my keys and getting locked out. In my last apartment I hoisted my three year old up to the unlocked window and talked him through getting me in the house. single mommy's last blog post..It's been a year

Too funny! Here in Hungary, most of the time, I buy eggs from my local fruit shop, but they never have egg cartons. I look like such an idiot, as I carry a plastic fruit bag full of eggs, desperately trying not to break one before I get it home. Last one home is a rotten egg!

Too much ado about eggs.

Actually, dear, I wasn’t trying to promote the 18 count idea. But having been a grocery shopper for a number of years, I know that buying six eggs is nearly as costly as buying a dozen. And unless you have a little bar-sized refrigerator, buying a dozen does not count as “bulk food.” Also, I must say, using the term “costly,” as I did above in regards to eggs, is a little exaggerated.

So, the person who buys six eggs is pretty much just buying them so there will not be none in the fridge. If you plan to really do something with eggs for two or more people within the next week, a dozen is pretty much the norm. Moving to the idea of six, takes some conscientious effort.

In other words, they are cheaper by the dozen! And if your kids wind up deciding they hate eggs, then throw them out. (The eggs, not the kids.) It’s not like I was asking why you don’t keep a big stash of filet mignon in your larder! ;)

Incidentally, I’m a big believer in shopping daily at the market for fresh food almost exclusively. I am NOT a supporter of bulk food purchases. And remember, I am speaking as a person who was shopping and cooking for a family of five. In Southern California. On one income.

All kidding aside, I got a kick out of your answer. I thought about not responding, but chose instead to go with superfluous. :)

SMS – my virgin post went up today: Virginity? It’s So Overrated

Teri – if I bought 18 eggs, my kids would decide that eggs are their least favorite snack. I swear, if there’s one thing left in the fridge they fight over it. If there’s plenty, they complain about there being nothing to eat. Plus, they are with me only half time. I just don’t buy food in bulk.
