Easter Eggs

[cchan8]

Does anyone sell white eggs without dates stamped on the shells anymore???!!!

I just bought 36 eggs and found out when I got home. These were supposed to be hardboiled for dying this Saturday.

UPDATE: unblemished eggs found at the big supermarket in Chestertown!!

Food co-ops or farmers markets.

There is a farm we pass on the road to Rock Hall that has a sign "Farm Fresh Eggs" and we're going to see if they can help us out.

Wish you could send me some!

store brand, giant or safeway.

The date stamp, having only seen it once or twice ever myself isn't what threw me here. It's that you didn't inspect the eggs until you got home!! The only times in my life where I have not opened (and inverted, to check the bottoms!) egg cartons is occasionally when I buy them in 2-pks of 18 and they are saran-wrapped together and it is impossible to check.

Wow.

I mean, nothing technically wrong with that, but I remember learning to do that as a kid shopping in Walbums near West Farms with my mom.

I live in Rock Hall. I've gotten used to not worrying whether the eggs are broken or not. It has been so rare that they are broken that I don't bother. Compared with when I lived in Dupont Circle or the suburbs.

In Japan, they are in clear packaging. But they are also not refrigerated. That is a different matter. Something about the health regulations.

Giant has never stamped 'em to my knowleg. I've seen 'em stamped so rarely your question made no sense to me at first--I had to think to remember, oh yeah some folks do that.

We have a "SuperFresh" in Chestertown that is apparently owned by A&P. I stopped by there today and found unblemished ones (had to be careful though, the "Eggland's Best" also have "EB" stamped on them).

Then I learned that A&P is going bankrupt so if SuperFresh doesn't find a buyer they will close by June. Boo.

Have you try washing the ink off?

[cchan8]

Yes, I was desperate enough to think maybe I should wash all 36 eggs. But soap and water did nothing.

I boiled a couple of them this morning for breakfast and they did fade a little.
