My best friend has four parrots. Only one talks...her late husband taught it to say "bullshit,"
but unfortunately, he only says it at random. LOL.

I don't trust any chart...I keep cooked eggs and dishes with cooked eggs in them like
potato salad only three days; cooked meat only three days; and always follow the "best
by" dates to use something or freeze it. Yes, it costs me money sometimes if I get over-
ambitious with preparation plans, but I have learned what my tummy is super-sensitive to,
and treat it accordingly. I am particularly careful with eggs and meat. But raw eggs, I
tend to keep for a month or more, refrigerated, without problems. Here in egg production
country, the eggs in the stores are pretty fresh.

I didnt add any to the dough I am making now but I may make a second
batch. Looking at a sort of flat bread for the second one (let the
machine do the main work) and the bits of leftovers work well.
