Biography
We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

Like Christopher, if it is cheese I cut if off.

And like Tyler said with onions.

Preserves I pick out the mold.

Everything else goes into my rear fridge to freeze dry then into the trash when it no longer smell bad.

How often clothes are washed tends to shorten the life of garments.

I have heard that soap residue in garments also shortens the life of garments.

I am a fan of Chow Chow and India Relish.

Neither are sweet ... nor are they sour or dill.

Where I live brown eggs are cheaper and that is what we buy.

When we had chickens we had Rhode Island Reds and they lay brown eggs.

I see no reason to dye eggs brown.

One time while surfing the world wide web I saw that in China they have fake eggs. Maybe that is another myth ...

We peel the eggs when they are still warm as we believe the eggs are easier to peel when warm.  And that is not my job.

Boiled eggs don't last long at my house.

I like the idea of adding some turmeric to the water while boiling.  I don't boil eggs because I have a steam machine.

I also liked the suggestion by John to keep the eggs in a special container.  Maybe a stainless steel container with a lid or a casserole dish with a lid.

Welcome to the forum!

To me, since covid, folks are not as friendly as they used to be.

There are no friendly smiles when I shop as the folks just take my money ...

I am happy where I live. I live on top of a mountain 30 miles from the nearest gas station.

If you feel companionship is important why not join a church and then maybe there will at least friendly smiles on Sunday?

Where you live are there places to volunteer like Meals on Wheels, the local hospital or other organizations?

I hope you find what you are looking for.
