Show "The Woman's Touch" When I started writing nThe Womans Touch" this week I couldn't think of anything to write about. IVe tried to write about things people have suggested so this week I told Jerry I didn't know what subject sub-ject to write on. He said why not, "the price of eggs in China?" I told him I didn't know the price of eggs in China. This is a phrase used often. I wonder if anyone knows. I think everyone would like to know just out of curiosity. curio-sity. If anyone does know, we would appreciate it, if they would tell us. The other day while looking through a book on eggs I learned learn-ed a lot about them that I didn't know before. We all take an egg for granted. An egg is an egg; we eat them every day and don't think a thing about them. It takes a lot of hard work to make an egg (on the chickens part) and we. eat them without realizing this. Let me tell you a few things to keep eggs better. Did you know that if you leave your eggs in the cardboard cartons they will lose much of their moisture? Put them in a tightly covered container. IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR as soon as possible. Eggs stored in this manner keep their freshness for several weeks. Another thing I found was not to wash your eggs until just before you use them. Fresh laid eggs have a film on them called "BLOOM". This seals the pores and helps keep out bacteria and odors. Washing Wash-ing removes this protective film. Take out the number of eggs you need a few minutes before you use them so they will lose that refrigerator coldness. cold-ness. Extremes in temperature may cuase broken yolks in fried eggs and cracked shells in eggs cooked in the shell. If your recipe calls for yolks and whites to be separated, do the separating immediately after you take them from the refrigerator. Yolks and whites will separate easier when the eggs are cold. And don't forget to let us know if anyone knows the price of eggs in China ! |
