We spent days cleaning our room. No dirty socks left on the floor, but still there was the awful smell. It took Mom's thorough cleaning to find the blackend, foul object of the rotten egg. This spring, when you color Easter eggs, don't be a rotten egg victim. My sister thought that if the egg was already cooked, and kept in its sealed shell in the cool darkness, it would stay that way forever.
Eggs are parashible, like meat, fish and poultry.
When handled and stored properly, eggs rarely spoil. Throw away any eggs that have been out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours. Use food coloring or specially made, food-grade egg dyes. Dissolve the dye in water that is warmer than the eggs. Be sure the label says nontoxic on any crayons, pens, paints or other art materials you use.
