Yesterday, I made breakfast for those members of my family who had gathered in Mexico for the holidays. There were just four of yesterday...a brother, a sister, my wife, and me. I opened the refrigerator and took out the eggs we had found when we arrived (the house belongs to another brother and his wife, who had not yet returned form their own holiday trip). There were tree "old" eggs and a new carton we purchased the day before. I did not know how old the "old" eggs were, but decided they were probably still good. I used them, along with several that we had just bought.
After breakfast, I mentioned that I had used the "old" eggs. Someone said "you didn't tell us that!" It went on. "Are you trying to poison us?" Someone said, "the ones we leave behind will be told we died of old eggs." I just had to get that down so I can remember it when the time is right!

I like that... dying of old eggs. Actually, eggs usually last remarkably well so long as they're refrigerated. It's the terrific packaging.
