eggs-actly! another pathetic joke! (chris and michelle know what that means.)

you guys must think i'm obsessed with eggs. i love them, but i honestly don't know why i've had at least three posts with eggs as the subject. anyway, i just learned something new on thekichn.com. i have always heard different methods, but this is supposedly the actual way to test an egg for freshness. place the egg in a bowl of water. if it lays on its side at the bottom, it's very fresh. if it stands itself upright at the bottom, it's edible, but make sure to eat it soon and preferably hard-boiled. if it floats to the top, throw it away! the reason for this is the porous eggshell. the more time air is able to penetrate the pores of the shell, the more buoyant it becomes in water. makes perfect sense!
