One day we couldn't get the shells off the eggs because the whites were like colorless jello and just crumbled away, but the yolks were hard cooked. I thought someone had put soap or something in the water, so we cooked another batch. Same thing happened. I called the egg man, and he was very apologetic, and sent us another case of eggs immediately. He said the egg farm had left out one single ingredient from the chicken feed, and the proteins were incomplete, so they wouldn't set when cooked!

After they are done I run them under cold water. Most of the time they peel real easy. C E G I sometimes have good luck with boiled eggs by putting a tablespoon of salt in the water.

NOW "they" are saying get in the sun, we need more D than even the feds are saying. Read Reader's Digest June 2006. It even reduces chlorestrol! and keeps you from getting many cancers. I guess the big drug company's weren't looking when that got printed. Drs. used to recommend giving cod liver oil (A&D) to kids many years ago. It wasn't flavored then and kids cried when they took it, sucked it into their lungs and got aspiration pneumonia. But kids now get leukemia. Kids are more deficient in A than any age group. D is need to absorb the A ( in egg yolks)and calcium, that's why they put in it milk. About boiling and peeling farm fresh eggs- try boiling the water first and dropping the eggs in slowly. I never have trouble peeling them Read Adele Davis’s Let’s Get Well - probably out of print for common sense nutrition.

You know, I am pretty sceptical of all the "fat is bad" stuff out in the world. Not completely skeptical, but pretty skeptical. Because, well, I have this feeling that if we exercised more and ate a bit less, and left off with a lot of processed foods with additives, we'd probably be healthier. And that is how I try to eat and live myself, so I only worry a bit now and again about that cholesterol thang. Cheers back atcha! Hey again, Roseann.

Good, fresh, whole eggs are actually called by many "the perfect food" because they contain important nutrients and enzymes for digesting them in the human body, including an important balance for "good" cholesterol processing. It's only when we start monkeywrenching foods that they get nasty for us - hydrogenated oils, 2% milk, bio-engineered oils (canola is actually from engineered rape, a weed, which is pretty toxic), even unfermented soy products! I recently wrote on my blog about lard, too (organic) - and how natural fats have components our bodies need. It's moderation and exercise that we need, not less fat. Cheers and bon appetite!
