Eggs

At some point this week, probably today, I am going to redo the parmesan cheese chicken recipe, with tips from JessesMom, using egg to coat the chicken before the breading.

Eggs are a pain in the ass for a single human household. There are 12 eggs in a regular carton, and the expiration date is about 10 days after the date of purchase. I kinda think an egg a day is probably not healthy. I could be wrong, since there was this whole outrage about hamburger leading to cancer a decade or two back, and then whoever published that shit backed down. Still.

One day, when I was in the grocery store, I reached for the half-carton of eggs. Some nosy-ass woman pointed out to me that a dozen eggs were 99 cents, while the half-dozen was $1.69. I told her I didn't want to waste them, instead of telling her to mind her own business, but she said I could just freeze them. Freeze eggs? Apparently, you break the eggs and freeze them, either in icecube trays or freezer bags. I have yet to try this.

So this week, I bought the meijer brand egg substitute. The carton was $1.50, and it claims to contain 8 eggs. Since regular eggs were $1.79, I don't think I got screwed on the deal.

For breakfast, I like Cheerios, so I'm not big on eggs for breakfast. But breakfast food for lunch or dinner works for me.   I mean, the chicken recipe probably won't need more than an egg or 2, so I have to do something with the rest.

Unfortunately, I'm still grossed out from the l-cysteine in most bread, so I'm not up for eggy in the basket. But a nice fritatta might be good. I bought some turkey sausage, because I didn't realize how much of a difference there was in turkey sausage versus pork sausage until I stood in the store comparing nutritional values. I would probably choke on turkey sausage. So I'll be trying a frittata with turkey sausage later this week. First, the chicken.
