eggs

Dan_Shade · May 17, 2007, 06:26:00 AM

i like soft boiled eggs, too. hard boiled eggs with fresh eggs are kind of a nuisance, though! gotta let them sit a while.

i guess i'm going to have to expand my cooking abilitites.

I hear that they don't just cook and have babies these days.

There's single wimmens on the forum; maybe we need a new forum.................Forestry Forum Matchmakers. 8)

I was trying to hook you up with a woman that can cook, but Engineer doesn't have a sister :D

Egg salad. Poached eggs. Mayonnaise. Hollandaise sauce. Frittata. Meringue. Quiche. Souffle. Eggs benedict. Egg foo young. Fried rice. Egg drop soup. PASTA! Egg noodles. Egg breads. Stollen. Deviled eggs. Eggnog. Pickled eggs. Huevos rancheros. Meatloaf. Scotch eggs. Egg dip for fried foods. I could go on for a while.

Maybe you can just move in with him, he already has a bunch at his place. ;D It's a good thing I live so far away or I would probably show up at Engineer's place. :D I love eggs too. I got real luck, my wife, cooks, and has babies, and has a catering business, and now a bakery/cafe. You need to find one like that. That way all you have to do is tend to the hen house and the sawmill. ;) ;D

This won't help with hard boil eggs,it will cool them off,but if you want to make potatoe salad put a bunch of ice cubes in a bowl with some water.Let this get as cold as you can,drain the water off the eggs and put them into the ice cold water.This helps alot if your eggs are fresh.

Egg and olive sandwitches are great in the summer.

Boiled eggs diced (or smushed with a fork)
finely diced onions
Spanish olives diced (or smushed)
mayonnaise for binder

Another of Mom's successes.

I ain't got nary squaw neither.

Eggs and olives in the same sammich.

I like the sound of eggs and olives. I cannot say that I have ever had that combo, but it strikes me as a fine marriage.

Engineer · May 18, 2007, 07:14:52 AM

That's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it mixture. For me -

that's nasty.

Fried lettuce breakfast sandwich

Chop 1/4 head of lettuce into 1"pieces put in pan along with 2tbls of oil, start frying, add 1 carrot chopped into 1/2" pieces.
Scramble 3 eggs in cup add 2tbls of water anb 2tbls of butter. Add this to pan after lettuce is cooked.
Add spices and whatever you want.
Add 1/4 cup of cheese after eggs are cooked.
Cut into 4 pieces and put on bread and eat.

Hope this don't run grits out of business because grits and eggs are good too.

thanks
(seems there is a recipe thread here sommers) :

Lots and lots of eggs? In addition to some good recipes, I'd be thinking of ways to store eggs for times when the hens are not laying as well. Just a quick look around produced an interesting article in Mother Earth News:
Long Term Egg Storage Test

Just a thought,
Jim

Dan_Shade · May 18, 2007, 10:16:33 AM

i had eggs out my ears when the weren't laying good!

How to get around 'selling' eggs.....each neighbor that wants fresh eggs, "owns" a chicken and pays you $2.50 for feed each time they come to pick up their dozen eggs.

isawlogs · May 18, 2007, 12:29:16 PM

Dats da way to go , when da hen stops laying , she is prime material for da soup too ....

WDH · May 18, 2007, 04:16:51 PM

You could "lease out' the chickens

.

limbrat · May 18, 2007, 07:09:13 PM

What if you left them under the hen till she gets a good brood. Then ten or twelve weeks later fill your freezer with fryers.

Dan_Shade · May 18, 2007, 11:07:21 PM

after that, i'd have a bunch of rotten eggs

limbrat · May 18, 2007, 11:25:07 PM

Does that mean there is no rooster, that the eggs are sterile?

Dan_Shade · May 18, 2007, 11:30:03 PM

nah, i don't have a rooster, the neighbors would fuss about that.

Furby · May 20, 2007, 09:59:40 PM

If you really have more then you can use or give away, cook them up and feed them back to the chickens.
Now I don't mean to replace their feed with the eggs, but mixed with the feed shouldn't hurt anything.

Dan_Shade · May 20, 2007, 10:12:50 PM

i'll do that if they are really coming out of my ears. i've fed several to the dog too. I had one pull a humpty dumpty out of the fridge yesteray. one holler for the dog fixed that

Furby · May 20, 2007, 10:56:10 PM

We have one chicken that lays thin shelled eggs from time to time.
I usually end up breaking those while cleaning them.
Also get a few that end up cracked too bad to keep for one reason or another.
I just crack them open in the dog dish and give a yell. ;D
Some of the dogs don't really care for them, but one just LOVES them!
