i live alone so i barely use my eggs and i have some I haven't touched in a week (bought them 2 weeks ago today). I've heard 30 days but how long would you normally keep eating these eggs?

8/30/2009 12:40:53 PM

until the expiration date

8/30/2009 12:42:40 PM

Depends where you buy them. Some stores get there eggs in sooner than others. I usually wait 2 weeks. Also just buy a half dozen next time (if you didn't already).

8/30/2009 12:42:55 PM

until they float. unfertilized eggs dont really rot, they just dry up

8/30/2009 12:42:56 PM

start buying egg beaters

8/30/2009 12:52:34 PM

^

8/30/2009 12:59:25 PM

yeah egg beaters are the worst

8/30/2009 1:01:15 PM

yea, put them in a pot of water, if they float i wouldnt eat them

8/30/2009 1:06:22 PM

why are Egg Beaters bad?

they're infinitely better for cooking and perfect for morning omelets

8/30/2009 1:12:21 PM

yea i like the egg beaters

8/30/2009 1:13:46 PM

and they last a lot longer than shell-on eggs

then you won't need to waste bandwidth

8/30/2009 1:16:38 PM

they do make easy omelets, scrambled eggs though i have to go for the original

8/30/2009 1:19:57 PM

i hate it when people throw away perfectly good eggs and milk just because of the expiration date, or the floating bullshit. eggs and milk are two things that smell very bad (sour) if they go bad. they have hardly any smell when they are good.

forget expiration dates... that's just the product of greed and paranoia about "omg it has germs you will get sick".

i have kept fresh milk sometimes up to 5 days beyond the expiration date, and it has been fine, but sometimes it has gone bad 2 or 3 days after it, and sometimes on the date, and once or twice even a day before. you just gotta open and sniff.

now eggs, you gotta crack them open into a bowl and sniff them if you suspect they might have gone bad. forget the bullshit about floating. my wife firmly believes in it, and many many times she has done the test with negative results and then i have opened the eggs and they have been just perfect. and there are other times when you get fresh eggs and you confidently crack one into a pan and it comes out all watery and bad smelling. so yeah, the floating and date things are bs. think long and hard about why it floats... yeah, that doesn't necessarily mean the egg has gone bad.

and yogurt? i routinely keep that a few weeks to a MONTH beyond the 'expiration' date, and it has been just perfect. the good bacteria in it keep good.

and with all sorts of other foods as well i don't pay much attention to the 'expiration' date. and a lot of times, it is not even an 'expiration' date, but a "best by" date. think about what that means. either way, i just sniff everything to tell me what has gone bad inside my house at a given moment, days or weeks or months after i bought something... the manufacturers can never know it for sure. think about it, expiration dates on salt or sugar? that's the biggest nonsense in the world.

USE YOUR MIND.

STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY.

STOP THROWING AWAY GOOD FOOD THAT CAN FEED POOR/STARVING PEOPLE.

STOP THROWING AWAY EARTH'S RESOURCES AND GOD'S BOUNTY.

STOP FALLING PREY TO COMPANIES' GREED AND THE GERM OBSESSED CULTURE.

OPEN/CRACK AND SNIFF.

8/30/2009 5:30:01 PM

yeah, do the float test

8/30/2009 5:30:44 PM

^ that's bs.

8/30/2009 5:31:39 PM

8/30/2009 5:40:36 PM

^^^ finally, some sense, but not about the bacteria getting in there.

bacteria ARE IN EVERYTHING. people need to realize that and then perhaps they will not freak out. unless you bleached/sanitized something for several minutes, there are bacteria in/on it. it is when they multiply and reach large numbers, they can make the food go bad. and also, bacteria can get in to a food... from where you ask? from the surroundings, from touch, whatever. and the egg shell is permeable to bacteria... but yeah, that's not the main reason they go bad. it is because eggs, just like any other food, already have bacteria in it.

haha, very funny. but you know, i can come up with sarcasm like that as well, if you like.

for example,

EMCE, your relatives are dying of starvation and malnutrition... please think about them next time you throw away good food.

or

EMCE, your relatives and millions of people around the world eat food from garbage bins and municipal trash heaps, but they hardly go sick from that... how do you think that is? just like your muscles and your mind, you need to train your immune system to make it strong. if you obsess about germs all the time and are a freak because of it, your immune system will be very weak and you will get sick often. but if you expose yourself to some germs some of the time, then your immune system will get stronger, and you won't fall prey to runny noses or stomach upsets as often as the obsessive freak. google hygeine hypothesis.

it is not about 1st world or 3rd world, it is about exercising your god-given common sense and not being a germ-obsessed freak and a slave to companies' bottom lines.

i would say if you desire to harm or kill people, yes, you are bitter, wouldn't you say?

and i wasn't screaming... in fact, i wasn't even making any sounds with my mouth when i typed that i was just giving advice... and i emphasized it by making it upper case, because it is an important issue that wastes perhaps billions of dollars each year. does that bother you, mr. jackleg, no really, does it bother you so much that i gave advice in upper case that you wish you had killed me?

you need help, serious professional help to cast the demons of hate out of your mind. whether the hate is due to excessive drug abuse, or from not being loved as a child or both, you need help. you constantly berate people and even make dedicated threads to people you supposedly hate.

i hope you get the help you need.

p.s. did you finish your degree? if not, i would recommend going back to school and immersing yourself in books and knowledge and bettering yourself as a human that way. it will also eliminate the hate in you, you will see.

Ahh, I guess I can kind of see that kind of dimwitted grasp at an insult. But in that same sense, aren't they his relatives too? Going along with the theory that since some of the oldest human remains found are in Africa, that humans as a species originated there?

8/30/2009 6:05:38 PM

hey, you gave a stupid insult, i responded with one, except mine was actually factual, whereas yours wasn't. (i don't live in a 3rd world country, and even if i did, i don't eat bad food... yeah, a gourmet food lover eating bad food ))

oldest human remains? i am not talking millions of years ago, i am talking, like 200 years ago.

8/30/2009 6:10:45 PM

or 200,000...

point is, it's pretty retarded to say that's a relative in any meaningful way.

but, whatever you say Mr. 3^rd world

8/30/2009 6:14:00 PM

eggs are like 2.75/dozen. throwing them out a week or two early isn't going to break me.

enjoy your salmonella.

8/30/2009 6:24:46 PM

dude, 200 years ago. yes, they are relatives. i bet you can go there and trace your family tree and find living relatives... lot of african americans have done so. you could even find out which tribe sold your tribe to the white man, which led to the enslavement of your tribe, which led you to being an american. if i wanted to trace my tree to africa, that would be impossible.

i know how this will go. you will accuse me of racism now. when in fact, i have said not one racist thing in this thread. but what you said would be construed as racism. you portray yourself as some holy black man who is above racism and has never been racist to anybody nor has played the race card to accuse others of racism. in fact, you do both.

now you are going to say you do it in jest.

ok, whatever. i guess you are posh enough to have your cake and eat it too.

I've got to give it to you though. You did make me chuckle. The absolute funniest thing you did in this thread was trying to throw out some ill thought out disclaimer to allow you to say something blatantly untrue.

Carry on though, I kind of want to see how far you'll go. Please, tell me how I'm racist... I know how you like to do selective research where you walk into a situation with a pretty closed mind, and only look for evidence to support your fucked up theory; absolutely dismissing anything else. So, have fun... I invite you to search through my posts to find some evidence of me being racist

if i had said

"sounds like EMCE wants us all to eat bad food, like he's used to eating in his black family/neighbourhood"

you would accuse me of racism, as would > 95% of black people and a majority of white people.

SIMPLY MENTIONING A RACE DOESN'T MAKE ONE RACIST, you moron.

yes, i mentioned the black race countless times, but i was talking facts. you made your statement in a prejudicial and ignorant manner, and you implied your superiority and/or my inferiority (i eat bad food, you don't), and you implied it connected with my country of origin/residence (3rd world country).

so yeah, that was racist. but i don't give a shit what you say as long as it is factually correct. both facts in that post of yours are completely false.

i never implied any superiority/inferiority, and i never said anything false, nor in a prejudicial manner.

and i have no idea what this is referring to:

I would keep them until they hatch

til about 3 weeks after the expiration date is a good rule of thumb

8/30/2009 7:08:09 PM

i get all my eggs from my grandaddy's chickens. no expiration date on them . i guess i would eat them until they start looking or smelling funny after i crack them, but i've never had that happen. i've kept them in the fridge for well over a month and never had an issue or gotten sick or anything.

8/30/2009 7:28:13 PM

lol @ guy saying african americans can trace a family tree and find african relatives. theres two types of african americans. ones that descended from slaves and ones that immigrated from africa. hopefully he's talking about the latter.

How did this happen in this thread?

To me, milk is undrinkable about a week before it expires.

8/30/2009 7:50:23 PM

^^ look mister

skin-colorism
eye-colorism
religionism

sound weird, right?

so, racism can be used with any of those contexts as well. never heard "don't be racist against jews/muslims/brown people/etc"?

Quote :

"To me, milk is undrinkable about a week before it expires."

wtf does that mean? how is it 'undrinkable'? what, it tastes off to you when it isn't even bad? in that case, either you don't like the taste of milk, or you have a very developed superhuman sensory system that can taste different levels of bacteria in food when the food is perfectly good.

and no, i wasn't talking about the latter. what do you know, anyway? your posts are 'famous' in the soapbox. there are many many african americans descended from slaves who have gone to africa and traced their origins and found living relatives.

I'm pretty sure raceism has to do with race, and the other ones you mentioned are prejudices of other sorts.

8/30/2009 7:55:36 PM

I just can only tolerate FRESH milk. Once its not Fresh I can't drink it. I can use it to cook and maybe in cereal (and not drink the end) but not drinking it straight up.

Kind of like a just-opened bag of chips or cookies as opposed to one opened a week ago. FRESH

8/30/2009 7:58:18 PM

^^ no shit!

but what are their names? as i said and implied, since they have no specific names, in popular culture and today's climate, racism is used to refer to those prejudices as well.

why don't you send letters of objection to all newspapers and tv stations that exist, because they all used 'racism' when referring to prejudice against jews or muslims or hindus, etc.
