When I visited Ireland several years ago, supermarkets kept eggs on the shelves, not in the fridge.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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"

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The kitten lives in the bathroom most of the day . with a giant crate - food and liter box. I want to take a bath , but the crate takes up a lot of room. but it is too early to put the kitten in his crate for the night. So I am waiting ...
I am a very accommodating cat parent
