I Hit the Eggshell Mother Lode

[RockyToggRanch]

I eat at Mcdonalds several times a week and would have bet money that their eggs weren't real. LOL I thought it was like egg beaters or something.

You soon will have more shells than you can handle.

they are wonderful additions to your garden and compost heap..

You can bake those shells and feed them back, Jim.

Also - dud eggs - I feed to my pigs. They don't care. It's protein.

Thankies

You're telling me that you havent learnt how to turn on the oven DUH!!! My boys learned that by the time they were 6!!!!

Great idea about the eggshells....

took me a week to figure out how to turn our new oven on,,,, no dang knob

We had to bake them longer than I thought it would take. After trying 350* for 15 minutes two times and testing temperature in the middle, Anne set the over to 450* for a half hour. That brought about ten pounds of eggshells up to 190* in the middle of the pot.

As for my not understanding the over... It's all digital with all kinds of complicated settings, none of which I understand or care to.

Anne's a violinist and the concert master of the Indianapolis Philharmonic Orchestra. One night she had a concert and left dinner in the oven to stay warm until a buddy and I got home to eat. It took both of us at least 15 minutes to figure out how to turn the #%^^% oven off.

Dang! I didn't think that I was ever going to get all that egg stuff off the inside of that pot. Anne made me use a brillo pad. Do I look like a pot scrubber?! I'm betting that I should have sprayed the inside of the pot before putting those wet eggs in.

note to self,,,,, use MY outside pot fer my eggshells,,,,,,,, i dont wanna look like joe the pot scrubber...

thanks for the info tho
