I think that I will need to resort to freezing the eggs for now. Maybe if I get it figured out I can try again but I am up to my ears in eggs. |

Lucky you! I get so disgusted at the price of eggs in the supermarket, not to mention that they don't even taste like real eggs! But, about the dehydrating thing - I did a bit of reading and came across a guy that said he hadn't had much luck with it until he tried to do it without first pre-cooking the eggs. He said he just poured the well beaten eggs directly into the dehydrator trays and dried them. He then put them through the blender to powder them. He uses equal parts egg powder and water and soaks for about 20 minutes then cooks them for scrambled eggs and also says you can use them for baking. http://baconandeggs-scifichick.blogspot.com/2010/05/dehydrating-eggs-diy.html I'd love to live closer to you - I'd buy as many eggs as you were willing to sell. Ooopppss... forgot, small farmers aren't allowed to sell anything anymore - how 'bout, I'd take some of your eggs off your hands and you could take some of my extra coinage for me!?

Maybe we can smuggle some eggs to you. And they wonder why we have the black market. Maybe I'll start sectioning off a gas tank for smuggling purposes like the moonshiners used to do. Lord knows I can't afford to fill the gas tank with acutual gas! |

Seems so strange to think that as "free" American citizens we would actually have to consider black market tactics for something as innocent as home produced food! I get so tired of our watchdog gov't trying to "protect" me from things without my consent. |

I know someone who told me that they keep a fridge full of eggs, raw milk, butter etc and a freezer full of meat in their shop and the door is left open. People come to "see if they are home and in the shop"...alot of "theft" of the aforementioned items going on but for some reason the honest jar always seems to make up for it.

LOL Yeah, a neighbor used to "give" me raw milk for my "pig". But, you know, its pretty sad that we have to resort to such silly fun 'n' games. In my opinion, I am an adult and I can decide for myself what I feel is fit to eat or not, if I make a decision to ingest something as "dangerous" as raw milk or farm fresh eggs, then that should be my business. The only thing it really accomplishes is that law abiding citizens are being forced to support businesses (gigantgic corporate farms) that they may not wish to. In a free market society, if I don't want to buy from a certain business, I don't, but if that's hte only place the gov't will allow to sell what I need, well there goes the freedom to chose with whom I do business. And, that's so stupid - who wouldn't really prefer to buy their food from someone they know and where they can see how the animals are raised and cared for? I sure would. I am always suspicious of anything that comes shrink-wrapped on a stryofoam tray - that truly IS "mystery meat"! |

Raven, have you ever tried pickled eggs? They wouldn't work for cooking, but if you had an over abundance, you might try that. Even if you don't like just eating them out of the jar, you can chop them up, mix in a bit of onion, maybe some celery or pickle relish, and some mayo (or cream works, too) and use it for sandwich spread. |

I have several jars of pickled eggs in the basement. I haven't tried them yet but I like the idea of using them that way. I just thawed out some cooked ground turkey and will add some to that to make turkey salad sandwich spread. |
