A cautionary tale..kinda gross but I'm trying to see the funny side here
As y'all know, the yabbit is ovolacto. So I'm cleaning out Superfridge, and decide to move the eggs from the box on the shelf to the special compartment in the door...but being in Little Suzy Homemaker mode, I decide to wash out the compartment properly for once, which involves removing the shelf from the door. I do that, put the eggs in it, fine.
Two hours later, I open the fridge for something else, and the shelf comes unhooked and hits the floor. Dummy here didn't secure it properly. That's fine, but I now have 9 broken eggs all over the tiny kitchen floor, my feet, and my new house shoes, which by the way are canvas espadrilles. Eggs are like 3 Euros a dozen now, which is what, $4.50 or more??
For those who don't know, broken eggs have the consistency and appearance of liquid snot. Which on ceramic tile floors doesn't wipe up, it spreads. Cloth won't absorb it. It just travels. Thank God I had newspapers in the house...that was the only thing that would even touch it. By the time I got the mess cleaned up, I was ready to hurl, forget about lunch!! I had to dash into the bathroom and have a shower to sort of de-traumatise myself.
Now I'll have to change the mop head, after mopping up the residue of the mess, because as we all know raw egg is as toxic as all get-out. Not to mention attracting ants!
I did wash my canvas shoes, which means the uppers will harden and shrink slightly and for the next three weeks every time I put them on it will be difficult and remind me of this misadventure.
I swannee, it would make a vegan out of anybody. If ever I should swear!
Sounds like the vegan gods were sending you a message ;D Sorry yo had to go throught that--it does sound really frustrating--I get cranky when stuff like that happens too--expecially the wanting to hurl things about!
Just think of it this way--if you do end up going vegan over this (or even lacto-veg) you can have a great story to people!
Love ya Yabbit!! :)>>>
That's be a good YouTube video (for the rest of us). >:D
Raw eggs are toxic! :o
So that one time when I dropped an egg on the floor, I shouldn't have let my cat lick it up? She didnt' get sick though.
Ooooops.
That reminds me of my recent story with food, except mine wasn't gross or nasty...jsut supreme stupidity on my part.
I reuse grocery bags when I get them, and I walked my husbands lunch to him at work...which meant everything was packed in one of this bags (including salt and pepper).
I come home after lunch, and I'm putting things away... snd I look down on my beautiful white throw rug and see a small pile of black stuff. I was like....WTF is THAT? I figured I'd find out as soon as I was done putting things away, so I turn around to contiune, and low and behold...ANOTHER black pile. I'm beginning to think this is weird, so I start walking in circles to look at the whole carpet....and dozen of small piles are popping up out of nowhere. I was so confused,
then i realized the black piles were pepper pouring out the spout, and out through a hole in the stupid bag. That's also when I realized my vaccuum sucks and I needed a new one =-)
I am so lucky it wasn't eggs falling out of the hole....I couldn't have handled that

Not right away...though some chickens carry salmonella, if you make sure your eggs are clean (no droppings on the shell) you're all right. I meant, raw egg spoils in heartbeat when it's 43ºC outside.
Sorry to scare you!!

Honey berry, if your vaccuum still sucks, you're all right. It's when it stops sucking that you need a new one!! ;D ;D ;D
haha :P I was just waiting for that one

"Egg on the Floor
If you drop an egg on the floor, cover it with salt and leave it alone for a couple of minutes. When you come back, you'll be able to easily clean the mess with a paper towel."
and now we know. =-)
Crap. I wish I'd known that. You wouldn't BELIEVE the ants DH threw away with the trash in the short time between tossing the eggy papers and taking it out.
Now I know. Makes sense. And Don't get the sugar instead of the salt--that Would be a nightmare of epic proportions.
DH snuck out later (I went to bed at about 3 pm in dispair of myself) and brought me home a new dozen. For which he only paid 1 Euro!! I gotta let him do more shopping.

Plus cats have awesome digestive tracts--20 years of my mom and I feeding cats raw eggs hasn't resulted in sick kitties. I don't know if everyone has seen this, but they will stash part of a large dead animal (e.g. rabbit) and come back waaay later to finish. And not get sick.
