RE: The Burden Called Painting Eggs
The eggs on the cover are quite amusing, but the last one is exquisite, beautiful.
We don't have this custom here, although, being so quick to imitate foreign customs, there are places that advertise egg-painting workshops.
I'm very curious to know what happened to the eggs, whether they were edible or not. I seriously doubt it if they weren't refrigerated, which I suppose wouldn't make sense anyway.
Los huevos de la portada son muy graciosos, pero el último es de lujo, bello.
Aquí no tenemos esta costumbre, aunque como somos demasiado imitadores de costumbres foráneas, por ahí hay lugares donde anunciaban talleres para pintar huevos.
Tengo una gran curiosidad por saber qué pasó con los huevos, si fueron comestibles o no, en verdad lo dudo si no estaban bajo refrigeración, lo cual supongo tampoco tendría sentido.
Hard boiled eggs remain good over a very long time. I did not store them in the fridge. I also don't with raw eggs. Even stores will never store eggs in a fridge. You just found them on the shelf. Always put them with the smaller point downwards and never wash them after you took them away of the chicken or bought them.
I made an egg salad out of the boiled eggs. The eggs were fine and not a tiny spot if paint was on the egg, unlike what we see if we paint it with natural colours or tablets ment to paint eggs with.
It is common to paint and hide those eggs and eat them for at least several days.
In my entire life I never had a bad egg. With or without paint each one was edible.
I don't put them on the fridge either, or wash them, I've been told no to do that since a few years.
It's good to know that boiler eggs are still edible after days, I wouldn't have thought so. I love salads with boiled eggs.
Peety for the art of the shell that is now lost.
You can easily boil eggs for a week or longer (hard boiled). In the old days eggs were also boiled and kept in salt water (without scale)
It kept them good for at least one year or longer. I don't like those salty eggs. I tried it years ago.
I still have the photos, even if the shell peeled off (you know the frequently said: Oh my God they killed Kenny!)
