Eggs
I would assume you can freeze fried eggs. I saw a box of eggs (like you would get on a frozen breakfast sandwich) at Wal-Mart in the freezer, so I guess they freeze and microwave fairly well. Those frozen bfast sandwiches have eggs on them don't they?
Could be Brooke's eggs - (sm)
I was thinking that, but when would she have given them? Also Bridget involved?? -h-m-m-m food for thought. Yes, watch Y&R (don't think Nick is dead either - I read he just signed a new 5-year contract). I agree, nothing wrong with having a little daytime fantasy in our lives - LOL
do you care where your eggs come from?
Does it matter to you whether your eggs came from a cage-free environment, or a caged one?
finches and eggs
You are having a time of it, aren't you!
This is not an uncommon problem. Many birds lay eggs anywhere and everywhere and don't sit until the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or more clutch has been laid. Breeders use those birds just to get the eggs and then put the eggs under another female who is sitting and she becomes the surrogate mother. What they do is put a hole in the bottom of the nest so that when the eggs are laid they fall down the hole to the pan where the breeder can get them before they are consumed and/or broken by the parents. Cool, huh? I had a pair of Quakers who were fantastic layers but ate every darn egg before I could get to them. I know that's not what you want to do, but this is how the pros handle bad sitters. Or they use an incubator which automatically turns the eggs every couple of hours if the hen won't sit.
Some birds eat the eggs out of boredom. Some eat them because they are craving calcium. Do you have cuttlebone in the cage? Is it within easy reach? Make sure it is. If they are not using it, you may need to add a calcium supplementation to the female's food or she could become egg-bound trying to lay (egg gets stuck in the vent and bird dies.) Consult your vet if she is not using the cuttlebone, as too much calcium is a really bad thing. Watch the male for the culprit as well. He may be low on calcium but since she is the layer you have to be especially careful of this when she is laying. You have to know the proper dosage to add to her food and don't let the male eat the extra calcium if he doesn't need it because you don't want to overload his system. If they are both eating the cuttlebone well, that is a good sign.
If she starts to sit and you don't want the babies, remember to substitute another WARM (in your hands warm) item such as a small marble or a bead that resembles the egg so that she will sit for her 28 or so days while her body recovers from laying or else she will continue to lay and lay until she is dead. They all need a period of rest between laying. Check out bird supply sites on the Internet for fake eggs.
If it gets to be too chronic, remove the male from the female to keep her from laying, at least while she builds her strength back up.
My bet is a calcium deficiency perhaps in both birds because either one or both are not just playing with them/breaking them but eating them as well. Don't add a calcium supplement without checking with your vet first. You have to get the correct diagnosis and then the correct dosage. He/she can feel the birds bones and do an assessment, etc. Find someone who really knows exotics.
Be sure their diet consists of more than seeds. Get them to eat some pelleted food. The best is Harrison's I was once told but do whatever works. Seed alone leads to malnutrition. This goes for all birds of whatever type. Also green veggies like Romaine which has calcium and they can drag a small piece around and play with it as they munch on it. Small as in thumbnail size at a time. My finches got carrot strips, broccoli florets, celery leaves, peas, etc. as toys to play with. They had a ball and it was all natural.
Best of luck!
frozen eggs
You can buy frozen egg/biscuit sandwiches in the frozen section of the grocery store (think Jimmy Dean brand)which you can then microwave, so I would assume you could make your own. The worst that could happen is do a trial run of 1 and see how it turns out. Great idea for the kids, not to mention cheaper if you make them yourself. Never thought of it, but may try it for myself! I make my own mini-TV dinners out of leftovers and freeze them and then microwave them which is another good idea in my mind.
frozen eggs
You can freeze eggs but they tend to get a little rubbery. Scambled eggs are better to freeze than fried eggs though, don't get rubbery. And eggs you cook yourself and freeze are different than the eggs you get on breakfast sandiwches you buy at the store in the freezer section. Good luck. Just thought I would share this with you. My husband is a chef, went to culinary school and all.
Umm... what's that got to do with the price of eggs?
That was a pretty off-subject, incoherent rant.
honey and eggs
If you really want a side business, keep chickens or bees. People like to buy organic food.
boiled eggs
Once I mentioned I liked boiled eggs. Everyone was so mad at me, there were 36 sitting in the middle of the table at dinner! Eat up!
deviled eggs
My eggs peel easily when I take them from the stovetop, pour off the hot water and then cover immediately with cold water and ice to cool. This works for me.
Finches laying eggs
I posted about this about a week or two ago and got some wonderful advice. We put a nest and nesting material in the cage but they never used the material. Roxie layed her third egg (I disposed of the first 2 when we first saw them) last night on the bottom of the cage. She wouldn't sit on it. We thought we would wait to see what happened and within a few hours the egg was gone with no sign of any eggshell or anything. This afternoon found another egg, this time in the nest all by itself. Mother still not interested in sitting it seems. Okay, I typed about 10 charts and when I checked again the egg was completely gone. Should I take the eggs out or leave them to be devoured? I really don't want babies but am not sure how to proceed. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks. BTW, I am leaving early tomorrow morning and won't be back until late late Tuesday night so if anyone responds tomorrow I won't see it until Wednesday.

Can you freeze fried eggs? - sm
I thought I might freeze breakfast sandwiches for my son so he can have a quick breakfast before work - you know, bagel, egg, bacon and cheese. Anybody know if eggs freeze and the microwave well? Thanks!
Not real eggs, just a design.

omelettes. eggs are economical protein
We like to have an omelette buffet about twice per month. We prepare all the family's favorite add-ins (diced ham, cooked potato, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, etc) and everyone chooses their own. Put 2 eggs in a quart-sized ziploc bag, seal the bag and simply squish the eggs by hand, then add your favorite ingredients. Remove as much of the air as you can, seal, and place all the bags in a large pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes (so as to not get each person's confused, you can write names on the bags with permanent marker). We add cheese after they're done, which the omelettes will slide right out of the bag. We just serve hot fresh biscuits and sliced navel oranges at the table to complete the meal. Everyone enjoys having their omelette their way and they're all done at the same time so no one's omelette gets cold. It only costs about $1 per person.
You guys must be as bored as I am to be reading about eggs! nm

I do miss the hiding and hunting for eggs
since my children are a little old for that. We hid eggs in neighbors yards (the ones will small children) when we knew they weren't home. We put candy and coins in all the eggs. One of the houses has a big sign on their front door that says "Thanks Easter Bunny". We were only able to watch one little boy look for eggs, but it was so worth it. Happy Easter to all!
i get eggs in the carton, Egg Beaters or egg whites

What do you make of the lab tech questioning the donated eggs? (sm)
There seemed to be something weird there, but can't figure out whose eggs they might be, if that is what was even implied.
Please allow me this vice. Implanting Brook's eggs - CRAZY!!

Point of interest-use older eggs for hardboiled,

Our Christmas b'fast tradiation is scrapple and eggs
but I know that's no help! You have to be brought up on it to like. :)
Emeril Legasse taught me about hard-boiled eggs
Emeril says to put the eggs in the pot with the cold water, and wait for it to boil, when it's a rolling boil, shut off the stove, and cover the pot for 13 minutes - and voila!! Perfect hard-boiled eggs!!
*S*
Scrapple and eggs, hashbrowns, muffins, bagels and toast.
Yum!
Breakfast - homemade biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs,
bacon, fried bologna and potato pancakes. It was scrumptious!!!!
Hardboiled eggs, jello, fudge, merangue, the list is endless!

If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
Eat beans several times a day. Filling, nutritious, nonfat. Refried beans w/eggs, white beans in

Has anyone read
I read it last week and just wondering if anyone else has. I thought it jumped around a bit but it was interesting to get to know more about her and I enjoyed hearing about Dr. Phil. They seem genuine.
I just read, it's $360................

read again
You were so quick to respond and try to tell me my daughter WILL have bad behavior that will make her in danger for STDs that you didn't even read, I said he told me the NEXT day. Just because some people have no control doesn't mean we all don't. There are still virgins on their wedding day out there....even though that may be a SHOCK.
I have read and re-read --sm
my posts and I seriously wonder how you ever got that I thought surgery was the only way to go when all I said was that some of these reports were *created* by insurance companies who do not want to pay for ANY care concerning carpal tunnel if it was an over use issue. But whatever...that is not what I meant. All I meant was than insurance companies tend to manipulate reports to THEIR benefit, not the patient's. Surgery or no surgery...that is the individual's choice and not my concern. Sorry you did not UNDERSTAND what I was saying.
you believe everything you read????

I have read all of them...sm
and there was one person who said many times that they believe he did this because he was taught anti-americanisms while he was in school in korea (kindergarten, first, and second grades) or had been taught it by his korean parents. Hate has no nationality. That's all I am trying to say.
Sorry, should read
do that....
I read this in SOD, but (sm)
I thought they only tape about a week ahead, so I thought since it's been a week, he might show up today. Oh, well, I can wait.
Did not read below but if you have an outside - sm
box on your house, anyone can creep into your yard and plug in a computer and go to town. You can put a lock on it, ours looks like a small gray box attached to the house about 8 x 8 inches or so, open it up and you will see phone jacks, it is how the repairmen check the lines, etc. w/o coming inside. Anyone could just run a long line and sit in a car nearby and do it too, but depending on where you live I think this would be noticed. If it happens consistently still check it out, see if some kid/night owl is hacking in this way by getting up in the hours it happens and see if someone is doing this, if so problem solved (call the police obviously if you see this happening); if this is not the case, then maybe take your phone off the hook at night, I would think then they would not be able to hack into it w/o a dial tone. I hope you get this resolved quickly.

that Maine has the highest consumption of Allen's in the 48 contiguous states.
Never heard about Allen's and milk, but I'm from away, too. I learn new things all the time up heyah.
Lobstah, blueberries, pahtatahs and Maine's champagne: Allen's. Gives new meaning to "The Way Life Should Be"!
Can you read
any words like Budweiser or beer? There is certainly nothing wrong with the draft horses working with a cart, and your kids really aren't going to think "beer" when the look at it. If people are going to be over and might think about it, or if it bothers your husband, maybe there is a wood filling product that could fill in any words that refer to beer or pictures of beer bottles, etc. Maybe you could then use stain or a rosemaling (painting technique) design over it, or whatever would complement the style. It sounds really cute to me.
EVERYONE PLEASE READ - SM

Is it something you would read again?
I was just thinking that I could just go to the library, but sometimes I like to read books over again - after waiting a sufficient amount of time so that I forget all the details! Is the series something you would go back and read again?
Yes, I will probably read them again
Loved the books better than the movies, but the movies were okay.
OK, read it again and again, still don't get it...
Must be me...oh well!
I read that to mean
there should be no drinking age like in Europe. Not that there should be no drinking. My two high school kids went on a school trip to Italy and Greece in April. They said the only teenagers getting obnoxiously drunk were the Americans and the Canadians teens were drinking but not to excess. Also all the Canadian kids smoked cigarettes too.
I just read about that!
All sorts of elements when combined or heated will cause noxious fumes and those symptoms. Even some welders have to wear respirators and breath canned oxygen when working with some metals. Can't wait to hear more about it though!
Er, um, that should have read....
