    Have you swung to the jumbo-sized eggs? I feel like a kid when I crack
    one and it's a double yolk.

    Presently, Kroger is beating Walmart by 4 on the price here.

    The advantage to jumbo is the surface area to volume ratio of the yolks.
    That makes it easier to maximize the runniness of the yolk who having
    the white fully set--the ideal fried egg. Also, at the comparative
    prices at the store that has the jumbos, I get 25% more food for only
    15% more money. We buy large eggs for Betsy's baking, and the ones at
    ALDI are actually a bit cheaper per ounce, but for fried it's jumbo.
    Milk and eggs are consistently a bit cheaper at ALDI than WalMart.

    I am not an egg aficionada; I'd guess they're all caged eggs unless
    specific marked on the carton. But I can say that no chickens have

    Aldi's here do not stock jumbo eggs, only large and Kroger beats them
    on their price for that size egg. But Aldi does win the race for whole
    milk, however Kroger beats them when it comes to half-n-half.

    I've never seen them in a cage. Most are in either a molded foam box or pressed paper. Holds them better than a cage.

    It depends where they live. Cage eggs are forbidden in Michigan
    and California. The federal government is suing to reverse that.

    And, of course, cage-free eggs are widely available even where
    they're not mandated by law. It's up to the individual to decide.

    I'd only buy ostrich eggs in a cage as they could stand that rough
    handling. Supposedly you can stand on one of their eggs and it won't
    break. I can't imagine the price of a dozen though, can you? Plus,
    think of the amount of space they'd take up in a home refrigerator!

    I meant that the large eggs from ALDI are per ounce a tiny bit cheaper
    than the jumbos at Schnuck's. We don't buy H&H, but get heavy cream at
    the foodservice supply, as it's cheaper, and they have the actual 40%
    stuff. I also buy butter there. It comes in 1# blocks, not quarters, but
    I got salted butter there today for $1.88/#. A 5# bag of finely shredded
    Jack was $11. We will use that much before it hits its best by date. I
    also got a 2.5# bag of spinach for $4.95.

    Tomorrow bottom round goes on sale at Schnuck's for $4.99/#. I'm going
    to pulverize some of it and use it and the spinach to make raviolis. I'm
    not going to try to make them all square and frilly edged. I'm just
    going to put them together in triangles like I was making crab rangoons,
    but using home made egg pasta rather than wonton wrappers. I've never
    made them before, but if they turn out nicely, that might be lunch on Saturday. With a forecasted -4F wind chill at 10:30 AM, I don't think
    we'll be getting Mexican, but rather bringing something over to the
    parents' house.

    I am not an egg aficionada; I'd guess they're all caged eggs
    unless specific marked on the carton. But I can say that no
    chickens have contacted me and shared their living arrangements.


    You don't give a shit, I know.

    Yet still you have to inject your own snark, as always.

    What's a thread without my input?

    Unperturbed.

    It depends where they live. Cage eggs are forbidden in Michigan

    That's great. Of course, the Fhrer prefers to torture animals.


    Ahnold?

    Austrian putz.

    And, of course, cage-free eggs are widely available even where
    they're not mandated by law. It's up to the individual to decide.

    Most of RFC probably buy the cheapest eggs they can find.

    Most of what you do is accuse without data.

    Good, pricing choice matters, even more for poor folks.

    As it should be.

    Does that also apply to child abuse in your view? Is that also up to

    I don't think he cares. There are two broad issues here:

    1. Defiance of federal control must be suppressed.

    was the running mate of his opponent in the last election.

    There is no embryo < sigh> ; cage hens are virgins, their eggs
    unfertilised.

    The lifetime confinement, overcrowding, excercise, diet, and
    medication of caged hens affexts the quality of eggs they produce.

    You eat cheap crap eggs because they are cheaper.

    So nice of Yamamoto to have said that in English. Apparently there is
    no proof that he actually said it. It seems a screen writer claims he
    saw it in a letter but he can't produce the letter. It ranks up there
    with Tucker Carlson's copies of files that would have destroyed Biden's chances of winning the 2020 election and then when push came to shove
    and he had to produce the letters his only copy had been lost in the mail.

    Of course not, humpy, it's because they *need* the USA to

    Was your daddy always the strongest daddy when you were a kid? :)


    What does my father have to do with your obsession with the USA?

    As a kid: "My daddy's the strongest!" Now, as an aging couch potato:
    "My country's the strongest!" Still a little boy, basically :)

    How stupid are you?

    On which scale?

    On a global scale, after you pull your head out of your ass.

    I know you're not much of a historian, but do you recall
    from history class what Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said after
    the surprise Pearl Harbor attack?

    Not only do I not recall it, I probably never knew it.

    It was quoted in an American movie, of course.


    You have a problem with America, as always.

    How hypocritical of you to even live in this nation.

    ?I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him
    with a terrible resolve,? although this exact phrase may be a dram
    atic
    paraphrase popularized by the film Tora! Tora! Tora!.

    Key insights and comments attributed to or made by Yamamoto regarding the a ttack include:
    The "Sleeping Giant" sentiment: He believed the attack would only temporari
    ly disable the U.S. Navy and trigger a long, inevitable war that Japan coul
    d not win.
    Pre-war Prediction: He told Prime Minister Konoe, "In the first six to twel
    ve months of a war... I shall run wild and win victory upon victory. But th
    en, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success," acc ording to this PearlHarbor.org blog post.
    Duration of Success: He predicted that Japanese success would last "for a y
    ear and a half at the most," according to this PearlHarbor.org blog post.
    On the Nature of the Attack: He expressed that attacking a, "sleeping enemy
    ," was, "more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten," according to
    a Reddit post.
    While the "sleeping giant" quote is iconic, some historians note it is difficult to find the exact phrase in his personal diaries or written
    records. However, the sentiment perfectly aligns with his known
    skepticism about defeating the United States.
