Egg Basket Love

The light was perfect so I had to whip out a recent acquisition and get snapping . . .

Little did I know the acquisition of an egg basket would cause controversy between myself and a couple of friends with one telling me to expect salmonella if I use my lovely new egg basket and another saying that since I get through them relatively quickly (they're all gone inside a week) that I should keep them out of the fridge as they taste and cook better that way.  Apparently there is great debate over the storage of eggs and how this affects their freshness and texture - subsequent googling backed this up with some interesting exchanges about it online.

I'm a bit of a fence straddler on this one - my Mum tended stored eggs on top of the fridge rather than inside it.  Eggs generally last a few days in this house as both T and I love omelettes and scrambled egg on toast so it's rare I worry about freshness and if I think one could be iffy I do 'the test'.

Slightly off tangent eggy ramble!  So how do you store yours?

Face to Name

I've had a few of you email/comment over the last few months to ask why I haven't yet popped a photo of myself on my profile or in the sidebar . . . . well if I'm completely honest I'm very camera shy!  There aren't many pictures of me in existence and generally speaking, those that do exist I despise, except this one.  It was taken on a rainy, blustery day in Whitby - the sort that soaks you through then dries you off with gusts of wind, the fella and I were both admiring the Abbey and he snapped me unawares. In fact it was the same day I found the box I posted about a few months ago.  Admittedly my hair is all over the shop and the mean wind has left my face a bit weatherbeaten but it actually looks like me whereas most pictures don't because I'm too busy looking uncomfortable.

Right - now I think you lot should post the odd snap of yourselves too! 

Hope your Thursday weather has been as beautiful as it is here in the Peaks,
