A Simple Independence Day Request

Vanity

Can the usual suspects please knock it off on Independence Day?

Today is about the USA, the greatest experiment in human history of self government. Not Putin, not Zelensky, not the price of eggs, not Tucker Carlson.
Knock yourselves out in 14 hours.

Today’s Headline: Vladimir Putin blames Tucker Carlson for inflationary pressure on Zelenski price control efforts on eggs. Video at 11 p.m.

Tucker Carlson confronts Ted Cruz on his support for regime change in Iran

But trump has declared it a one year celebration...............

I have to buy eggs today. Don’t know the price; don’t care.

[Vermont Lt]

$5.69 for jumbos in my town. But in the People’s Republic of MA, we are forced to buy free range eggs. They are about a dollar cheaper down the road in CT.

Knock it off? Knock it off for 14 hours?? I'll try but it will be difficult.

I got some duck eggs at a Vietnamese supermarket. They are somewhat larger than chicken eggs, but they taste about the same. The only thing I don’t like about them is that the shell doesn’t easily peel off when you hard-boil them.

Hing: for hard-boiled chicken eggs, always wait till the water is boiling before dropping them in. That way, the shell will come off easily.

It seems to help if you also leave them in an ice water bath for at least 20 or 30 minutes after you boil them.

Jumbo eggs in Florida: $3.19-$3.42 per dozen.

Happy Independence Day!

Hard boiled eggs in an Instant Pot:

High pressure cook 5 min.;
Slow pressure release 5 min., then manual release;
Ice water bath 5 min.;

EZ peel eggs--nearly with one piece of shell.

Thanks, if I ever get an Instant Pot I’ll try that.

[No name given]

Well said.

[Fiji Hill]

It takes 10 minutes in an instant pot—same as it does to boil them in water.

Have you ever had ballut? (sp.) Philippino’s bury them raw in the ground and leave them weeks. You have to eat them in the dark, but very tasty.

I'll have to try that. I usually rinse them with water from the sink after I boil them.

May freedom of speech reign on Independence Day!

We have some Filipino supermarkets in the area, so I’ll have to see if they carry that item. I like Filipino sausage and the way they fry chicken.
