I intended to post my latest quarantine hack today, but things got a bit colorful.
Let's go back a month or so. I bought a dozen eggs, but they were about to expire and I still had half the dozen left. I decided to scramble them and freeze them to keep them good for longer.
It was great because I could pull out a serving for a quick lunch, and they tasted fine.
So, when I went back to the store, I bought an 18 pack, figuring I'd repeat.
That's where it gets Seussian.
I scrambled the eggs and started to cook, and they looked lovely and fluffy.
But when I began to scoop them out onto parchment paper to freeze them, I noticed they had developed a greenish gray/silver tinge.
Oh no! When you're trying to avoid trips to the supermarket, a wasted meal plan is not good!
Google to the rescue.
Apparently, when you cook a large quantity of eggs, they have a tendency to turn green because of the more prolonged high heat .
Aside - My first thought was to wonder if this is how Dr. Seuss got the idea.
The good news is the taste is not affected and they are perfectly safe.
So now I have a supply of frozen eggs to go along with my frozen milk cubes.
Oh, and I added pouches of salmon to supplement the tuna pouches because... well.. quarantine.
My daughter continues along with her fancier meals. Thai curry chicken with peppers in coconut milk sauce.
Cute puppy photo to make you smile.
How's July going for you?
