When using eggs in recipes, have you ever felt dubious about their freshness? Because the white and yolk conditions of eggs are hidden by their shells, judging them can be challenging. Don’t worry, though; we’ll also provide some tips on how to cut down on egg-related food waste and provide you with some simple ways to tell if an egg is fresh.
The package of eggs you purchase from the grocery always includes a suggested use-by date. It may surprise you to learn that eggs cannot be sold in France seven days before to the minimum durability date specified on the packaging. When purchasing eggs straight from a henhouse, you should be aware that the use-by date is only a maximum of 28 days following the day of laying.
You can store eggs in the refrigerator for up to one month after the recommended use-by date, which is 58 days after they were laid, so don’t worry if the shells are not cracked or broken. Sufficient storage practices aid in preserving freshness, averting mold growth, and combating food waste. Do not forget to refrigerate your eggs to prevent any health hazards.
Eggs that have gone bad can smell weird, just like any other fresh product. Give an egg a whiff first if you wish to save it for later use and you see that its expiration date has passed. Eggs that have gone bad frequently smell bad and shouldn’t be consumed because they can have lost their vitamins and tasted different. Go ahead and promptly consume the egg by preparing an omelette, for example, if the fragrance seems natural to you.
You may also tell if an egg is still edible or has expired by using your eyes. Examine the shell thoroughly to minimize dangers. Mold may be present in the shell if it looks powdered, sticky, broken, or in any other dubious condition. Furthermore, in the event that the egg white or yolk exhibits any peculiar discoloration, such as blue, pink, black, or green, after being cracked into a bowl.
I Just Want to Be Saved!”: The Shocking Last Words of a 6-Year-Old After a Badminton Accident
A family from New Jersey is heartbroken after losing their 6-year-old daughter, Lucy Morgan, in a tragic accident while on vacation.
The accident happened when Lucy was watching her family play badminton. During the game, a racquet broke during a swing, and a piece of metal flew off and hit Lucy in the head, causing a serious brain injury.
Lucy’s father, Pastor Jesse Morgan, shared the sad details on his blog, New Creation Living. He described how June 1 started like any other day on their family vacation in Limerick, Maine. But then everything changed, and he now believes his little girl is with Jesus.
The family quickly understood how serious Lucy’s injury was. Jesse explained on his blog that after the metal hit Lucy, she became unresponsive but was still breathing. His wife, Bethany Morgan, went with Lucy in the ambulance to a nearby hospital. Later, Lucy was airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland because they knew her life was in serious danger.
“When Lucy arrived at the hospital, she went straight to the operating room. Doctors removed part of her skull to relieve pressure from her injury. She went into cardiac arrest but they brought her back and finished the surgery,” Jesse wrote on his blog. “In the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), we were told there was a very slim chance she would recover.”
Jesse Morgan shared that just a month before the accident, Lucy had expressed a desire to be with God. She told her parents she wanted to be saved and live with God. After a conversation with her mother, Lucy went to her room to pray.
“She prayed to God to forgive her and told Him that she believed in Jesus’ death and resurrection. What a gift,” he wrote.
Sadly, despite the medical efforts, Lucy did not recover from her injury. Jesse explained that the piece of metal had caused severe damage to her brain. Doctors informed the family that she likely would not survive.
“No blog post today. Lucy Lynn Morgan passed away this morning around 4 a.m. She now sees Jesus face to face. Thank you for all your love poured out to us,” Jesse posted on June 5, 2024, along with a picture from earlier goodbyes.
The day before her death, he wrote, “The lack of brain function over the past 48 hours shows that we are utterly devastated. If there is any good news, it’s that she hasn’t felt any pain during this time.”
“We will keep waiting on the Lord, getting second opinions, and looking for every possible option while crying out to God for a miracle,” he added. “However, as of now, our beloved daughter has been showing all the signs of brain death. There is a very good chance she will pass away and meet Jesus within 24 hours.”
In the wake of this tragedy, the family has received much love and support. Many people shared kind words about Lucy and her family on social media. Dan Cruver, a former professor of Jesse Morgan, spoke highly of him in a Facebook post.
“Jesse Morgan was a student of mine when I taught Bible and theology at Clarks Summit University 18 years ago. I remember many students, but some stand out because they frequently engaged with me after class and asked thoughtful questions. Jesse was one of those students,” he wrote.
To support the family, loved ones created a GoFundMe account, which has exceeded its original goal of $100,000 and is nearing a new goal of $130,000, with over $125,000 in donations so far.
Organizer Jill Anthony wrote, “This page is meant to provide the family with generous financial support – to help pay for meals while they are away from home, lodging for family, medical costs… whatever they need.”
Anthony also provided an update: “On June 5, Lucy went to be with the Lord. Please keep praying for the Morgans as they navigate the coming days, weeks, months, and years without their sweet Lucy.”
