When we were kids, my dad was an egg fanatic. I was all about the bacon. Now that I'm older, it makes no sense to me that two eggs fill me up more than half a pound of bacon does. And somehow, bacon costs six dollars while eggs are only two.

Just a bit south of Canada $8 a dozen. Cheaper in bulk though its $36 for 5 dozen but they would go bad before I used them.

Spray ice trays with oil, one egg per chamber. Freeze solid, remove, bag, back in the freezer.

JFC, do you have giant ice cubes or tiny eggs?
Not judging - genuinely curious.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Big ice cubes. I have trays for smaller ones too but as you noticed they're not useful in this function.

A bit south of Seattle, about $3.20 for a dozen.

I think one egg is un œuf

What’s the price of a dozen eggs on average in the states? I’m Canadian and generally assume everything is more expensive up here but our egg prices really aren’t that bad, at least compared to the complaining I here of down south.

I don't live in the USA, so I dunno

Bacon has become a special treat and I filter and save every drop of bacon grease for cooking other things. Been studying depression era meals lately and using those recipes. We now buy whole chickens and cut them into the parts ourselves. Same with pork loin... At Sam's a 2.4 foot loin is 20 bucks and cut into chops you get 24 or more. I've got no good answer for coffee though. Definitely it's forcing the wife and I to be creative and learn new things.

Also me: dies of heart failure in my 50s

Ehhh animal fat isn't the killer they've made us all think it is. Sugar? Incredibly high sodium content? Far too many carbs? And then all the preservatives? These are the kinds of things that clog arteries.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Half right.

You know what clogs arteries?

Taking in more calories than you expend. From any source.

What's interesting though is that the sugar and meat industries have both been spending decades lying about the other being the "real culprit."

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Are eggs still expensive in North America?

It's around $0.75 a dozen around here, as the usual. I though the entire chicken flu crisis had passed.
