Turns the stomach a touch doesn't it ?
I bet you don't eat eggs for a couple of days
The smell, cut an onion in half place each half in a bowl half filled with water hey presto smell gone in the morning, it works great when you are painting as well.

yes, onions absorb alot of things, which is why they are suppose to help prevent cancer.
i read you are not suppose to eat an onion that has been cut open previously , even if kept in a fridge, as they you will be eating the germs it has sucked up since being opened.

rotten eggs, yuck.  ;D ;D

Strangely enough, I just wanted to post a question re rotten eggs...

I get my eggs from a local farmer - he sells them through the newsagent. So far, they've always been fine - vary in size, shape and colour, but always very nice. A few days ago, I cracked one and what came out was greyish/brownish and very liquid - not like egg at all, and not like "rotten" eggs I've experienced in  the past. Didn't stink, either. Could that be a problem with the hen - some kind of disease? I asked the guy in the shop to tell the farmer - I didn't complain, as I know it's impossible to look into the eggs he sells, but I thought he'd better know if there is something wrong with the hen.

It's worse when you crack an egg like that into a bowlful of eggs or cake mix. Ask me how I know.  ;D

That's why Mrs Beeton of the cook books fame said, " Always crack the egg into a separate dish first and if it is Ok add it to the rest "


She forgot to add as the precursor to that " First off put your unbroken eggs with complete shell  into a glass bowl and gently fill it with cold water , any that try to float other than having pointy end up are not fresh.. don't use them " .
