New So I guess I should get past my ick factor
And go try some eggs from a stand to see if I want to keep getting those. Thank you.

Also, thank you for the hard boiled tip. I'm about to make a batch of crack eggs and I'll scald those eggs before boiling them.

I don't understand the wait directions though. You said it depends on how long it takes to boil but you didn't say how long you should wait based on that. You just said it would be different.

New For the wait
The wait time is between 10 and 15 minutes. This depends on how quickly your stove brings the eggs to a boil. Best to try 15, and if the yolks have any green, use a shorter time. The boil time will, of course, vary a bit depending on how many eggs are in the pan.

New Okay, thanks
And to all on freshness:

I discussed it with M and she said: yeah, remember when I got the eggs from the co-worker who raised the chickens..

Those were the best eggs in the world. Regular eggs are runny and bland.

Um, okay, she wants to raise chickens. No thanks.

It'll be gradual, but faster than you expect. One day it won't be there, and the next day you'll be surprised at just how fast it still isn't.
