Egg storage

I think my post should have been before the last one. My house NEVER gets that hot unless our AC goes out. Chicks would need a heat lamp to even live in our house which stays a 68 or less most of the time even winter.

There's a couple easy ways to peel a fresh hard boiled egg. You can add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water before you put the eggs in. Or when the eggs are done put them in a bowl of water and ice for 30 seconds or a minute then put them back in the boiling water for 30 seconds. It will cause the small air pocket to expand real quick and crack the shell and then the shell and membrane will peel off easy.

Yeah, I know, I'm just being silly!

nrford, thx! I need to try that. You might post that over on the recipes thread, too.

Our house actually does tend to get that hot. We are power savers like crazy. Heaters don't come on until its about 62 inside and ac doesn't come on unless we can't stand the heat anymore. Last year my ac didn't come on till it started getting over 100° outside

JennaLynn, Grampsjim ( my hubby) sweats at just hearing someone talk about anything over 70 degrees. I'm much more tolerant of the heat and usually don't need anything until its around 75 in our house. I have to save in other areas. We don't use our electric heater hardly at all in the winter and our thermostat stays on 62. We use a gas log heater which uses propane. We buy it in the summer while the prices are still reasonable. Our AC comes on when the house gets to 72 or so. I prefer opening windows myself.

Grampsjim would have a heat stroke if our house ever got that warm!!

Somehow we don't mind. Most of us would rather be outside in it anyway so we don't have a reason to cool the house if it isn't unbearable of we aren't in it anyway.

we have forced air which stays on a pretty low setting in the winter because we also have a wood stove that heats most of the house.
