Happy Canadian...Eggs?

HAPPY CANADA DAY! :D

I was hoping to do a nice post about why I'm proud to be Canadian, but then I spend all morning and this afternoon reading articles on arsenic geochemistry and mobility in a wetland (hullo thesis topic, nice to see you again), and my brain is now mush.

Instead, I'll share my gem of a find this morning. After reading copperbadge post on receiving unordered pre-hardboiled, pre-shelled eggs, I laughed pretty hard when I found these at the grocery this morning.

Yes, I bought a pack (at 99 cents, eep!).  Yes, they were pretty tasty, if a little rubbery and disturbing when I thought too long about it.  No, I won't buy them again.  It was a novelty and made me laugh, so was worth the money paid the one time!

Actually, I think the most disturbing part of this was the they "expire" when unopened at the end of July.  End of July!  I don't even think my fresh uncooked eggs have that long of a shelf life.

And yet, strangely, I'm now craving hard boiled eggs.  Guess I know what I'm having for supper.  ;)


So that's what you get for Canada Day.  Hard-boiled eggs.  I think it's appropriate! 



...uh, don't think too hard on that one.
