What is a vinegar egg??

She's soaking an egg in vinegar (I cannot remember if it is vinegar water or just vinegar). Anyway the acetic acid in the vinegar breaks down the eggs shell but leaves he membrane beneath the shell in tact. Kikis in mad scientist mode again. She wants to see if she can remove the spots from a quail egg to make it easier to candle.

You seriously make me laugh so much! But honestly, I had a pet skunk. I bought it (descented) at a pet store Iowa - although it still pretended it could spray. I lived in an apartment complex and used to walk it. Bad idea. Someone called the DNR and said (I’d imagine somegyng like this) “that crazy bitch in apartment 3 has a damn skunk that scares the shit out of everyone and it tries to spray us if we walk by”
Sooooo the DNR shows up at my door. I’m 19 and have zero logic in my mind at the time. He tells me according to code whatever whatever- one xannotbown an animal native to Wisconsin without the proper licensing and area to keep said rodent. He said she had to confiscate Cartier (named after expensive perfum) and that the little guy would be euthanized. I burst into tears holding the little skunk pleading with the big bad DNR agent to leave and see if there’s any other options for me. He stared blankly like I was an extreme case of cognitively challenged at a whole new level and told me he fought a- highly- that the skunk would be spared. He leaves anyway and tells me he’ll return in a few days. Sure enough- two days later he’s at the door. I smile and walk him to the cage that housed my roommates 8’ snake. That snake had two large bulges in its belly (not the way I planned it). I made a sad face and told him the snake got out and was hungry and swallowed the skunk whole. He asked about the second bump in the snake. Of course I didn’t tell him it was the second frozen rat I had fed that nasty snake yesterday. I just shrugged and said- idunno. What could he do? Ask the snake? Needless to say, Cartier lived out the rest of his life happily in witness protection where no one could find him. On a farm with room to roam of course. That agent knew- I see this in hindsight- that if he left and came back- that pet skunk would be gone. Pretty cool guy in my book. That’s all. Carry on. Thought you’d like that story

Awesome you saved him! What was he like as a pet?

I was sitting inside when I heard Negan crowing and I thought nothing unusual, then I heard a cracky-crow and wouldn’t you know it, the EE was crowing.
