can I compost cooked egg yolk?
Comments (14)Composting is a bit of an art and can become an obsession! Putting cooked food in compost is ok for making good compost, but it encourages rats, so best not to. To achieve the best compost have layers of green and brown. Green being plants e.g. weeds, grass cuttings (soft plants) and brown being chopped up brambles & other hard stemmed plants, and shredded paper & cardboard but not too much per layer. Scrap uncooked food from the kitchen can be classed as either the green or the brown layer, but if that's all you ever put in the compost you'll end up with slime. Aim for crumbly dark brown earth like substance which feels clean in your hands and clean to smell. Each time you add a layer give it a watering, don't let it dry out completely. Turn the compost e.g. turn it with a shovel or lift it out and into another bin, every few months. Leave for at least 6-12 months before using. Have a few bins on 3 month availability if you have the space for them, so you always have enough. And remember, compost needs insects working away in it, so stand your compost bin on top of earth not concrete or tiles and don't disturb it too much until you need to turn it....See MoreWhat eggs have I found?
Comments (14)Hi Elisabeth! It's just starting to heat up over here in Germantown. Most of my nectaring plants are just getting going so the poor things are having to really work to get their nectar fix ... I've also had pearl crescents, question mark, red-spotted purple, zebra swallowtail, spicebush, painted lady, sulphurs, easter-tailed blue, spring azures, great-spangled fritallary and hackberry. And lots of luna moths this year, all males so far. But the very, very best was a cedar hairstreak - I was so excited I almost messed in my pants! And of course by the time that I returned with the camera, it was gone. But I sure hope there is a next time!...See MoreInteresting eggs-photo
Comments (12)Yes, it is interesting how they build them like a layer cake. If you can, try to get a photo of the just hatched caterpillars. Supposedly they feed as a group in early instars. MissSherry, I probably have 10-15 mature trees in my backyard. It's like a celtis allee, with intermittent mature ulmus interspersed throughout, lol! I find my cats on the numerous seedlings and saplings that pop up around the yard. They are very overplanted here in Oklahoma in the cities, and not really an appropriate urban tree since they are so susceptible to various diseases and their seeds litter the ground, literally germinating whereever they land....See Moreproblems cooking hard boiled eggs on induction range?
Comments (29)Thanks again everyone. I successfully cooked six hard boiled eggs this morning !! I hear the applause. smile. I brought them to a boil and then simmered for 15 min. I will have to experiment a little more with bringing the heat down from the boil. I lowered it immediately to 3 and of course it quit boiling so I had to go back to 9 and bring it down two levels at a time...I will experiment next time to make that easier. Pllog I never heard of steaming until reading about it here (where have I been? not to the cooking forum for a while :-) ) and I definetly want to try that. And, I looked at Henrietta and I must say that I really like that...I have never owned an electric egg cooker but that is sure cute. Might have to spring for one. And, Cheril thanks for letting me know about the Williams Sonoma item. I have seen those before and will keep it in mind. I think once I do this a couple times, I will have the exact schedule...or I will get Henrietta. So cute. Thanks for all the fun reading. You guys are great....See More- 9 years ago
