It's not fun having your boss take out the DSM to try and diagnose you--and herself, by the way. Oh! I twice had the kid of a psychiatrist/author as a camper--sorry for the convoluted sentence, and I'm trying to be circumspect lest I get sued or something--and he was the saddest 6yo I'd ever seen, and when I had him again a few years later the stories he told.

Break them individually before pouring them into the cooking and I wouldnt use them for scrambled eggs, fritata or anything really eggy like that, really fresh eggs are best for that. You could google it with something really longwinded like "how do I know if my eggs are fresh enough to use for cooking?" just for something fun to do:)Mummy McTavishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971283362730213835noreply@blogger.com
