Re: eggs - have you ever preserved the unwashed eggs using the lime water method? I haven’t tried that but it’s supposed to preserve them for many months. I have a friend who brought me dozens and dozens of eggs last summer and I’m thinking I’d she does that this year I’m going to try this.
Which sort of lime?

I was curious to try this, but finding 'unwashed' eggs proved to be a challenge. Once the natural coating on eggs is washed off, you can't pickle or 'water glass' them as they will simply rot.
There's also freezing them. Some people swear they mix two raw eggs in a freezer ziploc bag and freeze them, for up to a year. It's not for eggs-over-easy but is instead for recipes that call for 2 eggs. I dunno.

Never tried it! I’ll have to read up on it.
