Just a quick one

My apologies..I didn't mean to go so long since my last post.  I am a little overwhelmed by the information I am collecting to share with you all and I am trying to organize it in some fashion. 

So, random note, I love the section in Real Simple each month that shows different uses for everyday things.  One of the things I eager to try is using a bundt pan as a roaster.  Well, I tried it last week, didn't work so great.  Either their bird had a smaller cavity or the bundt pan had a bigger whole in the middle but my chicken just flopped over, leaning against the outside rim of the pan.  So, I improvised and put a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and cooked the chicken that way.

Now, some quick information about eggs information also gleaned from my Real Simple magazines.

First, storing your eggs.  They should be stored in the coldest part of the fridge.  Who knew?  The refrigerator manufacturers put those egg shelves on the fridge doors.   Also, I haven't had this problem, but eggs can absorb odors in the fridge, so it is preferable to store them in an airtight container.

This I thought was real cool and maybe one cold, snowy Saturday, I will give this a try...here is how you can tell if you can still use your eggs.

Get a bowl of water and put an egg in it.

- If it sinks, and lies on its side--the egg is fresh.
- If it sinks and stands, large end up--the egg should should be eaten in the next day or so.
- If it floats--throw the egg away.
