My Super-Duper Egg Recipe.

[debbie276]

I just feed them the membrane. If you put the shells in the microwave for a short time the membrane becomes very brittle as well as the shell which makes it easier to mash up. Personally I don't like to nuke them because the shell becomes a whole lot sharper.

Mine eat the whole thing. I let the shells try really well, and practically pulverize them into smithereens.

I grind mine up in the blender, so I have never seen those strips you mentioned.

Your recipe looks great ( for the birds, I won't be trying it personally! LOL) and since my first eggs are about to hatch, I am sure mama and papa would love this! I've just been mashing up plain ol' hard boiled eggs! This mix looks so much better!

As I mentioned somewhere...

All of my birds love it, and I've been told that many other birds enjoy it too.

For fewer birds, just aďjust the amounts a bit.
The amounts are not written in stone, so you don't need a calculator. What you want, is a soft but crumbly texture. If it'svtoo wet, add a bit more dry stuff. If it's too dry, throw in another half an egg.

Lately, I've been also adding a couple of pinches of dry herb salad, and occasionally a couple of drops of birdie cod liver oil. The kids seem to enjoy it just as much.

Hope your guys enjoy it

Potato ricer:

That's the one I have. You can rice the potatoes with skin on and the skin is left behind. Should work very well for eggs. You should be able to put several eggs in at a time, depending on your hand strength. The Kuhn Rikon version looks just as functional, for about the same price (like $3 more), and has equally good reviews.

I've been looking for a potato ricer for ages, but haven't seen any anywhere .

Dang! I know the exchange rate is like 75c CA to the US dollar right now, but that's still a LOT more expensive!

Just keep reminding yourself, you are a civilized nation with single payer health care. If we had that here, I wouldn't be disabled now. Never get sick while working on your doctorate in the USA. Because deadbeat doctoral candidates don't deserve medical care in this country. LOL!

Anyway try this one:

It ought to be good enough for egg mashing.

Thanks so much, now that's more reasonable.

I thank the powers that be for our healthcare, even if it's far from perfect.

You may have to wait until you're dragging yourself by your arms across the floor for a knee or hip replacement, BUT if you need emergency heart surgery, you'll get it fairly quickly and for free in Alberta (we don't even have to pay health care premiums in my province).

So what did you pursue a Doctorate in? while the US healthcare system (or lack thereof) were letting you down big time?
I've heard some nightmarish stories about people who desperately needed medical help not getting it in the States, it makes my lip curl in a snarl to think of these situations.

My undergrad degree was in Computer Science (Engineering type not data processing business type)

But my grad degree was (going to be) in clinical psychology. Didn't make it though. Had I access to adequate health care I would have been a tax-paying contributing member of society for the past 10 years instead of having to live with my son who was himself in grad school until they got around to approving me for disability after 6 years and two separate attempts.

I was planning to emigrate to Canada after completing my doctorate specifically because of issues of health care access and the lack thereof here in the USA. I have Canadian ancestors, among them the Dionnes of Dionne quintuplet fame. That won't be happening anymore, LOL!

Just walk or wheel across the border, and tell them you are a refugee from a troll state....

[lovezebs]

Sorry, not politically correct...but proud of it.

Oddly enough I am eligible for German citizenship as I have a ton of German ancestors. Sadly not a word of German though! Well a few words that I learned from Hogan's Heroes, LOL!

Now if only Canada would institute a repatriation program I'd be there in a heartbeat. Great Grandma was a Dionne.

Can you claim a relationship to our Celine ?

Seriously though, I'm not sure if you could go on a claim through Arrriere-Grand-Mere. Probably not, but who knows.

If she's related to the Dionne Quintuplet Dionnes, then yes. All I know about her is that she is a singer. I think.

Canada doesn't currently have a repatriation program like a lot of European countries seem to have these days. But if it did ... I'd be there in a heartbeat, LOL! British Columbia is where I'd rather be.
