Hard boiled or not?!

Food shopping continues to be a wonderful form of amusement.  I have been hesitant to buy eggs because in every store we've been to, the eggs are not refrigerated.  It doesn't seem to be an issue for the Chinese, but we did notice a big line of people at one grocery store, which we discovered was the line to buy eggs.  By the time we realized what another line was for, the eggs for that day were gone.  Over the weekend, though, I decided I would give eggs a try.  They were in a nice container and looked inviting, so I bought some.

We also bought already-cooked stir fry noodles and thought we would add a little scrambled egg to the mixture.  I started to break a couple of eggs, and realized the eggs I bought were hard-boiled.  Such disappointment!  The noodles had to stand on their own.

Over the weekend, our friends, the Bjorkmans, shared a bottle of mayo with us.   Who knew that was the perfect hostess gift?!  With mayo in hand, I thought egg salad was in our future for lunch today.  I pulled the eggs out of the mini fridge and hit one on the counter to peel for the salad.  Much to my surprise, the eggs are not hard-boiled after all.  They just have a thicker inner skin than the eggs at home. No egg salad!  I think I'm going to have to work myself up to trying eggs again. I love eggs, so it probably won't be too long.

On a very positive note -- refrigerated skim milk has been found!

Which symbol say not hard boiled?!

Looking good!
