ATTENTION GUESTS OF THE UNADILLA FOOD BANK DISTRIBUTION:

Beginning Friday June 2^nd at the 2 P.M. to 3 P.M. mobile distribution session in Unadilla the Food Bank will be reverting to the procedure they used before the pandemic. This will require food recipients of USDA products to complete The Emergency Food Assistance Program form (TEFAP). The from will ask for basic information about recipients such as your zip code, number of people in the household to receive the products and a signature. The form will contain the income guidelines the federal government requires to receive food on the TEFAP program. By signing the form the guests are self identifying that they meet those guidelines. If a guest declines to sign the TEFAP form, for any reason, they can still receive some food items but they just won’t receive the USDA supplied food items. This is a new change that the volunteers have no control over so please be patient with them as they implement these new rules in a way that is less disruptive to all.

 

 

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS?

by Renowned Cub Reporter Bob Wilhelm

Recently the conversation at the Paisley Bottom Coffee Shop and Critical Thinking Laboratory turned to chicken eggs. The head Barista is somewhat of an expert in poultry as he manages a flock of oviparous hens. Ergo, this seemed to be the natural venue for this important discussion to occur. The aged equestrian in the Laboratory has an acute curiosity and asked; How long will eggs last before they go bad? Admittedly, a question most people would not ask, yet once laid down (no pun intended) the group addressed the question head on. The Barista, turned flock manager, immediately said that the time eggs remain fresh depends on if they had been washed. His hypothesis was supported when an internet search revealed that unwashed eggs last longer than washed eggs. Eggs are laid with an invisible coating called the “bloom or Cuticle” on the shell. This coating helps to keep air and bacteria out of the egg, thus keeping the egg fresher longer.  A general rule is that unwashed and unrefrigerated eggs will last about 2 weeks and about three months or more if refrigerated.  How do you determine if an egg is washed or not washed? We do not know. A visit to our refrigerator found a carton of eggs that was more than a month beyond the expiration date and there was no indication if they were washed or unwashed. It is also suggested that washing your eggs can increase the risk of contamination because the wash water could be sucked into the egg through the pores in the shell. Additional searching on the internet revealed that it is not necessary or recommended for consumers to wash commercially packaged eggs. Although this may not have provided any conclusive guidance about egg storage, we are hopeful it will bring those in the Paisley Bottom Coffee Shop and Critical Thinking Laboratory one step closer to answering the age-old question; What came first, the chicken or the egg?
