Summarize the following:
Generally, eggs are transported to stores in vehicles in which the ambient temperature doesn't exceed 45F (7C). Keeping eggs refrigerated helps to prevent foodborne illness like salmonella. Take the time to open an egg carton and inspect the eggs for cracks or breakage. Salmonella tends to live on the exterior of the eggshell and can travel into the interior via cracks. Over time, the yolk begins to absorb water from the egg white. The egg white becomes thinner, losing some of its thickening and leavening abilities, and the yolk becomes flatter, larger and more easily broken. Eggs may be kept in your refrigerator for 3 to 5 weeks after you bring them home from the store, even if the sell-by date passes during that time. A shield bearing the USDA grade of the egg means that the egg has been examined and certified to meet strict quality standards. These eggs have not been previously packed and shipped, and they have not been doused in non-USDA-approved cleansers. USDA-grade eggs are coded to identify both the location where the eggs were packed and the day of the year when the eggs were packed. Grade AA eggs have thick, firm whites and high, round yolks. This grade of egg is virtually free of defects and is best for frying, poaching or other cooking applications where the appearance of the egg matters. However, most stores sell Grade A eggs. These eggs are the same quality as Grade AA except that the white is categorized as "reasonably" firm. Grade-B eggs are seldom found in retail stores because they are used to make liquid, frozen and dried egg products. The sizing of eggs is determined by their weight, not by their dimensions. Many recipes are very specific about the size of egg that should be used, particularly in baking. Large eggs are best for most applications.

summary: Always purchase eggs from refrigerated cases. Choose eggs with clean, uncracked shells. Avoid buying out-of-date eggs. Look for the USDA-grade shield or mark. Choose the appropriate grade. Select the most useful and economical size.

You can dry the garlic in an over or a dehydrator. If you're using an oven to dry out your garlic, preheat your oven to one of the lowest heat setting. On most ovens, this is between 150 and 200 Fahrenheit. When your oven is completely heated at a temperature between 150F and 200F, place the sheet of garlic into the oven and cook for about an hour and a half to two hours. While the garlic is drying, you can check on it and stir the garlic bits around to ensure they are drying out evenly. Remove the sheet of garlic from the oven and let the pieces cool. You'll know that the garlic is thoroughly dry when the pieces snap, break, and crumble easily in your hand. If you're using a dehydrator to dry out your garlic, set the temperature to a lower setting, at about 125F. Allow the garlic to dehydrate for about 8-12 hours. When you remove the garlic from the dehydrator, the garlic bits should be brittle to the touch. That is when you'll know that they are completely dried. You can use a coffee grinder, blender, food processor, spice mill or mortar and pestle to grind up the garlic pieces. Grind the garlic to your desired consistency. Sift through the powder with your fingers and remove any large chunks. These chunks can be gathered and reground. Grind the garlic for a shorter amount of time if you want the powder to be chunkier. Grind the garlic for a longer amount of time if you want the powder to be finer. Allow the garlic to sit in the grinder for about 10 minutes. This will allow the garlic bits and their fumes to settle, so you don't breathe in the harsh garlic odors. If you happen to have onion or chili powder, red pepper flakes, or other spices around your kitchen, consider blending you garlic powder with other flavors and powders to make a unique and robust seasoning. This blended seasoning can be used on all kinds of food, from pizza to pasta. Store your garlic powder in an airtight container somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight. Mason jars are a good storage container for homemade garlic powder. Freezing your garlic powder is also an option.

summary: Dry the garlic in an oven. Dry the garlic in a dehydrator. Grind the dried garlic. Blend flavors to make a new seasoning. Store your garlic.

Yes, gifts are a good way to win a woman's heart, but not just any gift will do. Gifts should show that you care and that you specifically care for her. You don't want to give a gift that could be just as nice for your ex-girlfriend or your sister. Give a gift that is significant to her. Try giving her something in her favorite color, something she said she wanted or needed, or (best of all) something that reminds you of significant moments that you've had together or inside jokes that you share. If she calls or texts you and mentions that her day is not going very well, bring her some flowers on your lunch break or when you get home. If she tells you at the end of the day, have the flowers sent to her first thing in the morning with a note like "I hope these help today go better than yesterday." Bonus points if the flowers are unique, such as giving her a tiny Christmas tree during a tough holiday season or a "bouquet" of stuffed kittens. Leave her a series of notes, each one telling her something you love about her and a clue to the next location. End the scavenger hunt with dinner and a gift. Use your creative skills to make something for her. It doesn't have to be fancy or perfect. It just has to show that you think she's worth the time and effort. You can make her a card on nice paper, make her a necklace pendant, or make hr a sculpture for her desk (check your local art store for polymer clay). When you've had a hard day, the last thing you want to do is add insult to injury by having to slave over the stove for half an hour, right? When you know she's stressed (or even when she isn't), help her out by cooking her a nice dinner. Write her letters as often as you can manage. You don't even have to talk about anything interesting, but it is a very useful time to talk about your feelings. This vintage touch will show her just how much you care, and charm your way into her heart. Make a cd/tape/USB stick with songs that are significant to your relationship or remind you of her. Try to tell the story of your love (how you felt before you had her in your life, how you met her, what you first thought, etc) through the songs that you choose. Women, like anyone, want to feel useful. They want to feel like they serve a purpose, especially to people that they care about. Let her be and feel useful by asking her for advice about problems that you have in your life. Importantly, you should take her advice and let her see that you've taken her advice. Know her for who she really is, not just who you want her to be or the face that she puts on for everyday life. Talk to her about things that matter and find ways to show her that you get her. For example, buy tickets to a play that you don't care about but that you know she really wants to see.
summary: Give unexpected, targeted gifts. Bring her flowers when she's having a bad day. Put on a scavenger hunt for her. Make her something. Cook her dinner. Write letters to her. Make her a mix CD. Ask her for advice and take it. Really know her.
