Quote: That reminds me, and I always forget to ask...... Is it bugger or booger? I have used both, because I don't know!
If I'm unsure what's inside (stinky, gooey, explody mess) I put it inside a ziploc bag, seal it and then whack it with something like a knife or a small hammer and then slide the contents out into a the bag. Therefore, no mess, no smell. If it's made it to lockdown and looks like there's a chick in it, I just open it without the bag. ... and I'm in the medical profession... can't really gross me out. My mom almost died though when I brought home a sheep brain, a cow eye and a pig heart for my first anatomy course. She made me keep them outside on the porch.
S/he was a shrink wrapped chick that I had to "birth" from the egg. It's warmed but probably won't fluff up for 24 to 48 hours or so cause of the nasty glue like stuff from the membrane.
I carry my duds out to the mulch pile and, standing at a distance, throw them down hard on a board. Then if they are not too stinky I take a closer look.
My pie's done... blueberry still has some time in the oven. Would it be wrong to bring this in for Pie Day missing a piece (or half of it)?
