[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I've kept eggs unrefrigerated for weeks and lived to tell the tale. They were very fresh eggs.
When I first started dating Tom I noticed that he kept his eggs (from the supermarket) in the cabinet. I asked him to start keeping them in the fridge, which he did, but I don't think he ever had any adverse reactions from it. I think it might have been a British thing? I don't know.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I visited Ireland several years ago, supermarkets kept eggs on the shelves, not in the fridge.

not your mom's socks.
Ok, I simmered it for a couple of hours - everything fell apart when I strained the broth out, and it smells awesome. We had chicken for dinner and I couldn't see letting the bones go without making broth, even though it's late.
Thank you for the tips - I'm going to let it simmer longer next time, as I trend toward outlier.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Same here.

Canadians (of my mom's generation at least) keep butter on the shelf in the cupboard. Not eggs though, so far as I've noticed.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Fresh, well-handled eggs can keep at room temperature for a long time. It's the dubious health practices of the factory farming industry that make refrigerating them a requirement, not anything inherent in the eggs themselves.When I finally get my chicken coop, I will have awesome, fresh eggs that I will keep on the counter.

yeah, what juliana said.
Y'all! I finished my cover letter and resume tweaking, and am going to send it off tomorrow morning. YAYES.
Also, I am still not itchy. This has changed my life, I am not kidding! Totally trying it on mosquito bites the next time I get any. Which will likely be tomorrow.

Yeah, it freaked me out in Peru that all the eggs in the supermarket were just out on shelves. I figured that maybe you just can't keep them like that for months like I do the eggs in my fridge...
In general, though, I"m very much "any doubt? throw it out" because I all too often have no idea when I opened it, or when I bought it, or whatever. That's mostly my issue--the things that are all "Good until November 2024! ...but use within 4 days of opening!" and I"m like "What? I...can't eat it that fast"

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
There is a lot of margin built into "use by" dates.
I have never cracked open a bad egg, even though I have used some pretty ancient eggs. I only use pasteurized eggs for things in which the eggs are not fully cooked, though.
