too many urban chicken eggs? freeze 'em!

If you're like me, there have been times when you've got too many eggs in the house for whatever reason (the girls are hyper-productive, or you're just taking a break from eating your fresh yummy backyard eggs).

Did you know you can freeze whole eggs? Here's how:

• remove eggs from their shells
• pierce yolks and, for every 2 eggs: gently mix in 1/8 teaspoon of salt for use in savory dishes or 1 teaspoon of sugar for use in sweet dishes
• Place in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags and freeze (don't forget to mark the containers savory or sweet!
  

This is just one of the many great resources I found on a site called StillTasty.com which is a guide for how long you can keep food around before it needs to be tossed/composted, despite what the sell-by date says.
