It is all about time -- Supposedly eggs age more in one day at room temperature
than they will in one week in the refrigerator. If your "room temperature" is
95-degrees, then your eggs are going to age quickly.

Other things to consider:

- Whether foam or pulp, the carton prevents loss of moisture and carbon
dioxide and also keeps the eggs from picking up undesirable odors and
flavors. Even though your refrigerator may have an egg shelf in the door,
it is better to store eggs in the carton on an inside shelf for freshness'
sake.

- Eggs are placed in their cartons large end up to keep the air cell in
place and the yolk centered.

I have friends from Minnesota. The first time we went to breakfast with
them they ordered their eggs "basted" I'd never heard of this before.
They explained that the eggs are cooked in grease. After they are
cracked into the pay, you keep spooning hot grease over the eggs until
they are done.

I never tried it as it did not seem very appetizing to me. It's also
quite different from your basted eggs.

My mom used to cook them that way when camping. She used bacon grease.

It works too but tends to leave a LOT of "crispy" white around the
edges. That method has it's place too!

That's the way my mom did basted eggs when we were growing up. The
"crispy" white edges were one of my favorite things about them. Using a
spatula she would "push" waves of grease over the eggs. The yolks were
always a nice ooey-gooey consistency and the right temperature. They
aren't the same using olive or vegetable oil.

It's been years since I've had real basted eggs. Thanks for the memory
-- I can almost smell them sizzling in the pan now.

Gods Mad', I'm so very sorry to hear that. :-(
Kitties take a bit of you with them when they go like that!

Do get another one. You can't replace ones you have lost for sure, but
there are sooooo many kitties that need homes! Thousands are destroyed
in the shelters every year. <sigh>

As a variation, a very southern variation, have a lot of lard in the
skillet. Enough to completely cover 3 eggs.
Slip the eggs in, wait, enjoy.

No basting required. I guess they had a lard shortage up north way back
when.

BTW, when your yankee friends ordered basted eggs, did the waitress know
what they meant?

TFM®
Ain't got nothin' agin' yankees. They just talk funny.

I never saw the post that Om replied to. Mack, I am sure that some day you
will know that the time is right to have another kitty. I can tell that you
have not shut yourself off from it all together. Kitties are entertainment,
love, and stress relief all wrapped up in a little furry ball. They make
life better!

<smiles> Selene, a long haired black cat, was purring in my lap when I
answered that post. She is many years old (I'd have to check with my
vet to get her exact age) and was bottle raised with two siblings from
around 1 week of age...

Isis and Gandalf, her littermates, are just as precious!
Isis is identical to her sister except for a couple of white whiskers
and a slightly more high strung personality, and Gandalf is a short hair
gray and very mellow.

I guess I never thought they had their own name. Never heard,
"basted", only "over easy" or something along those lines.

But it's pretty much the way eggs were made for us when we were young.
Fry and egg and spoon hot fat over it - although it was usually bacon
fat.

Thanks again!

I have Belfanior, who is a tuxedo cat with one white ear. He is my
sweetie-pie and starts to purr as soon as he comes within six feet of
somebody. I rescued him from a shelter.

Hair-trigger is a jumpy brindle boy who loves digging for imaginary prey in
the corners of the rooms. I don't even need a lazer pointer to get HIM
chasing things around! I got him from a friend who was joining the Marines
shortly after 9/11.

Then there is Sackajeweeya, a reddish cat I took in after someone abandoned
her in my apartment complex. She is uncommonly friendly too, and a very
unusual color. I've never seen another cat the same color as her!

Dopalottamus (Dopey for short) is a big old fat gray tabby. He's 17 years
old, if I'm doing the math right. He's pretty lazy nowadays, but he can
still jump up to the back of my chair! I got him from a former boyfriend a
LOOOOONG time ago.

Ting-Tang is a Siamese mix. She is cross-eyed, very vocal, and very curious.
She's the one most likely to try to get into the groceries while I'm trying
to put them away. I think she's the youngest; she was much smaller when I
got her two years ago.

Mmm, sounds like a nice variety. Love the names! I still have a large
number of cats after promising mom literally on her death bed that I'd
take care of her rescue cats. Our beloved golden tom Garfael passed
away last week.

That leaves:

Amber (Torty)
Bastet (Calico)
Gandalf (gray)
Heidi (Calico)
Horus (dark tiger, long hair)
Isis (Black, long hair)
Ka (Seal point siamese)
Maris (gray with white paws)
Mitsie (medium fir calico)
Princess (seal point snowshoe, medium hair)
Samantha (Ginger tabby)
Selene (medium hair black)
Serena (medium hair calico)
Tigre (dark tiger)
Sqwertz (dark tiger)
Xena (gray and white patched)
Saris (dark tiger, sorta ginger mix)
Cookies (blue point siamese)
Chrisobel (medium hair dark tiger)
Chipmonk (Ginger tabby)
Cleo' (Blue point siamese)

They all have their stories. Most abandoned strays, a few bottle fed,
but all with sob stories. <sigh>

They are a handful and expensive, but ALL are "fixed" so no unwanted
kittens are coming into the world here!

That is exactly 1/2 of the cats that were here when mom died. I had
them cremated and placed into cat shaped urns. Hurts when we lose one
no matter how many there were. :-( I knew them all and their histories.

I have a checklist of all names of the cats that have passed over the
last 20 year too.

Pharoh
Crystal
Stormy
Princess
LadyBug
Regis
Shadow
Jasper
Indigo
Laurel
Tabitha
Astra
Dolly
Orchid
Jasmine
Jetta
Lilly
Mama
Wizard
Little Lady
Taz
Athena

Correct that please. Unwanted kittens are NOT coming into the world here!
I promote spay/neuter wherever and whenever I can for cats and dogs.
IMHO people that don't do it are irresponsible and responsible for
literally thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Birth control in birds is easier. Refrigerate the eggs then return them
to the nest after 48 hours.

I don't understand you. My credentials aren't bogus, and I'm not
ashamed of them. As I matter of fact, I've done pretty well -and I
hope it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings"! I'm just an ordinary guy
like you who had a couple of dreams when I was younger, went for them,
worked hard and here I am......

Part of that working hard was learning to be in the right place at the
right time. Know what I mean?

Is blake your real name?

Who cares?

But, for the record, my real name is Kathleen.
It's why some people call me "Kat", and I used to post as "Katra".

Kili knew...

I know you were not talking to me, but...
what is in a name? I never did get people that got annoyed by those
that use a nick'.

I thought of that yesterday as I watched the colorized version of
*Robin Hood* starring Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHaviland (sp?).

The colorization process really had given them all rather effeminate
appearances, and I had to laugh!

I wonder which came first RHIT or colorization?

BTW, Gene Hackman kills me in YF. :-S

Way deeper. The Valley. We are a 5.5 hour drive to Houston, heading
northeast due to the coastal bend. We are about 20 miles up-river from
Brownsville.
