Just Some Bad Eggs

So as I was getting near the stopping point of writing my Curriculum paper tonight, I thought to myself, hmm...brownies would be great right now. And lo and behold, I actually had a brownie mix in my cabinet and I had all the ingredients! Until I looked at the eggs and saw the Best By: date. November 19. That's not too long ago, right? So I hop on google to make sure I will not get salmanila, ecoli, or something worse as I just discovered the uselessness of my health insurance. And I read about a test you can do to see if the eggs will float. If they stand up in the water, you have a bad egg, but if they lay on their side, you're golden. And what do you think happened? Of course, mine nearly defied gravity. So that means no brownies for me. That should be a sign, right? Like get back to work and stop eating! But instead, I am making banana-nut muffins that just require water. Fool proof. But let it be known that I could not successfully bake a potato for dinner. Good thing Billy knows his way around the kitchen! For now, at least I learned something about floating eggs.
