About those eggs:

Ever hear the expression, “smells like rotten eggs?”
The two other Witches and I were wondering not too long ago if any of the younger generation knows what rotten eggs smells like. I think I now know the answer.

My Mom ALWAYS floated eggs before she bought them (she got most of them from door-to-door vendors, we didn’t have enough chickens to keep up). And she ALWAYS broke each egg into a cup before she added it to the cake batter, just in case. I still do that.
