Eggo oh no

I confess I've always loved to bake. Both of my Grandmothers taught me how. The one Grandmother in particular was a young homemaker during WWII living in an economically challenged province. Ingredients, no matter how basic, were scarce. You needed to scrimp and "save-up" just to get some extra eggs, butter or flour. Anyway, as a young child standing on a chair at the kitchen counter, she always told me "never break more than one egg into a bowl. You must test (smell) each egg you break individually." The fear of course was that you'd end up dumping a "bad egg" into the bowl of good eggs, thereby wasting hard-won, prized items. It had a real impact on me. It's only very recently after many years of successful baking that I've dropped that idea. Hey Gram (if you're listening) I'm not a wasteful person, but the eggs are OK now and Wholefoods has more anyway. Many thanks Gram!...but I've decided to live in my era.

Your grandmother is still right

It's silly to be wasteful. Maybe don't apply it to eggs anymore. Maybe apply it to shopping at a real grocery store that isn't ripping you off.

I still crack one at a time. The eggs aren't always perfect, even from Whole Foods. Even farm eggs have an odd one occasionally. My grandma told me I should check the bottom of every ice cream cone for bug eggs. I still check, but that's one habit I could probably ditch now.
