Easy and Delicious Egg Facts and Recipes

Despite the bad press eggs received in the past, these days they have been deemed a healthy food choice after all. Eggs have many uses for cooking, and are the main ingredient for nutritious and easy main dish recipes.

Even though it would seem like common information, there are some egg facts that may help you choose, store and prepare eggs. The following are a few simple egg facts and recipes:

We’re all familiar with the different grades and sizes that eggs come in, at least from experience in the grocery store. The USDA has standards in place to help select the different grades based on appearance.

Egg sizes range from jumbo and extra large, large and medium to small based on weight per carton.

The color of the shell or yolk has no affect on the quality of the egg. Color of both the shell and the yolk depend on the kind of hen that produced the egg and the diet she ate.

Store eggs in the refrigerator away from strong-smelling foods as the smell could penetrate the shell.

To check for freshness, break an egg into a bowl and smell it. A fresh egg will smell clean and a little sweet; often there will be no odor at all.

Tell a hard boiled from a raw egg by placing the egg on its side and spinning it. If the egg spins quickly and evenly it is hard boiled; if it spins slowly and awkwardly, then it’s raw.

Does anyone know where I could purchase the moose cup egg nog set from the movie- ChristmasVacation?

Clark and Eddie are drinking eggnog out of little glasses that are shaped like moose heads. The head is where the eggnog goes and the antlers are the handles. I was wondering if anyone has seen them in a store or if they are online somewhere? It's in the movie National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

This website claims to have the original maker of the "moose cup" making their mugs. Unfortunatley, the price reflects that. Here is the website: http://www.canadianmoose.com/

Also try putting "Christmas Vacation Moose Cup" in the google search. I got several options, just some were cheap plastic, though they did look good and were far more affordable.

Hope this helps!
