Interesting info about egg storage, everyone! (I never thought I’d say that sentence.)
Maggie, I hope you’re still alive.
Pammy, you’re comment is funnier than you know. Allison basically just cooks dessert. She’s pretty much afraid to try preparing eggs, meat, etc.
Daily, while my wife is usually right, you don’t know the woman you are writing about. I don’t think we’ve actually ever had an “egg” fight. It’s usually about other things that expired MONTHS ago and that suffered through a power outage in our garage fridge. Let’s just say she’s an extreme ED.
Black Coffee and Sarah, great job with the food disposal.
Person known as Mommy, welcome!

Your wife is 100% RIGHT. Eggs stay fresh long after their suggested expiration date when kept refrigerated. We’re talking like 4-5 WEEKS, not days.

Now go whisper to her those 3 magical words: You Were Right.

I second Matthew’s contention that eggs don’t need to be refrigerated. When I lived in New Zealand, the supermarkets kept the eggs in a regular aisle, next to the bread. While the preservative-free bread lasted only five days (bummer), the eggs were great!

I had to read this outloud to my husband. He’s an ED and I am (of course) an EH and we both laughed our butts off!

Especially the last part-our 4 year old begs for food he won’t eat too!

You’re Hilarious-I’m totally adding you to my blogroll. I’ll be back!

Oh Matt… silly, silly Matt. Only when food starts to grow fur do you throw it out. YUK. I had far too many roommates in college who believed in that theory and let me tell you: I’m surprised none of them died from salmonella poisoning because of it. Rule of thumb: anything taking up space in the fridge that smells, has changed color, turned into a solid, turned into a liquid, grown, or has a thin layer of slime on it gets thrown out immediately — along with the container its in — no matter the expiration date.

Do you think your daughter would’ve eaten the expired eggs if Allison has scrambled them instead of you?

@romi41: how did you manage to make a story about an egg so “egg”cellent???

I don’t know, it was rather eggscruciating to me.
