Udi 8yr I heard that eggs in the US get cleaned in such a way that the protective coating on the outside gets stripped off and that's why we have to refrigerate them. But, freshly laid ones, I think you can safely keep them outside. Not sure how long though. -
MargaretG 8yr My brother, who is a farmer, keeps his eggs unrefrigerated and unwashed up to 2 week but that makes me nervous. I usually refrigerated them even unwashed as soon as I get them from the hen.

JenniferEmilson 8yr I've kept mine out for a week with no problem. So far! -
FarmerDave 8yr I usually stick to 2 weeks for UNwashed eggs out on the counter. But when I get close to 11 days, I do the float test just to be sure. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-test-eggs-for-freshness-how-to-find-out-tips-from-the-kitchn-46368 -
mirasingh 8yr I've heard 2 weeks. @MargaretG I have done the same. When in doubt, refrigerate. -
gustin 8yr We keep our fresh eggs out for up to two weeks, they've never been around longer mainly because we eat them in that time. I've always heard once you refrigerate once, and I'd imagine if it is really cool outside, they need to stay cool in a refrigerator. -
Riki 8yr Growing up in Israel we did not store eggs in the fridge and we never got sick from eating bad eggs. Nowadays, eggs are being stored in the fridge in Israel too. It makes one wonder ... -
mrscorco 8yr @FarmerDave thanks for the tip! @MargaretG @mirasingh 2 weeks sounds good. Hopefully they'll be gone before that! @Udi I read about that somewhere. Possibly on food stand! :) -

Yesterday I ate a plateful of scrambled eggs, sausage and broccoli. Today, all I crave is a BIG bowl of carbs. Oh well. #suchislife

DietID_TeamDietitians I had the same yesterday, but made with vermicelli instead of rice! Equally carby goodness =)
-
mrscorco @Rachna I've been meaning to cook with vermicelli! Someone posted a picture of lemon rice and that's all I could think of, ALL day, so I had to make some!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians =) I love lemon rice so much. My mom whipped up a vermicelli-based version, which happens to cook much faster than rice, so it's a good back up if you're in a rush.

DietID_TeamDietitians Did you use corn starch for the sauce?
-
mrscorco @Rachna I think the picture makes the sauce look thick but it's just broth. I just brought the bone stock to a boil and added the turkey and vegetables to it.
