Easter Week – Eggcellent Eggs

April 20, 2011 by 5 Comments

It’s Easter.

That means Easter Eggs.

Thought I’d bring back this little tidbit on Fresh eggs for this week.

Did you know that a carton of eggs can keep in the fridge for up to 5 weeks?

Yup!

How can you tell if your raw egg is fresh?

Put it in a pot of water.

If it floats it’s either hard boiled or waaaaaay past it’s prime.

If it sinks and lays on it’s side it’s fresh fresh fresh.

If it sinks and stands on an end, it’s about 2 weeks old.

If it slightly tilts, it’s only a few days to a week…

Go ahead, try it, you know you want to!

What about your easter eggs?

One package each of…

Mix some of your chocolate frosting in a bowl with 4 crushed oreos.  Set some more oreos aside.  Fill your patches with the frosting and cookie.  Then sprinkle additional cookie on top.

With a sharp knife (Mom or Dad’s job) cut a slit in the top of your jelly bean.  Cut a small slice of Twizzler off and stick into the slit.  Then tuck the carrot into the patch.
