Fast-food, Chainsaws, and rain

This is going to be scrabbled because I have a few things to say. So we are in Fairbanks this week enjoying ourselves probably a little too much when it comes to food. I swear I have gained like 5-10 lbs this week alone. I can't stop drinking pop EVERYDAY sometimes more than once a day and I feel so sick! But fast food and pop are so very tasty! I have a doctor appointment this Friday to see how my foot and arm are healing up. I can't wait... I hope they tell me I don't need the boot at all anymore and if I do I hope I get a new one because mine has fallen to pieces! It is rainy here which sucks because the trees are so beautiful right now and we can't really get out to enjoy them. The rain also makes me more nervous when we're driving (I say more because I am always terrified in moving vehicles now). We will be going Friday and Saturday to stock up on food for as long as we can... does anyone know if you can freeze eggs? Weird question I know but we have to freeze everything so it will stay fresh. Mom and Eric are coming to visit this next week and we are all excited! Visitors yay! Someone else will get to see our tiny village so maybe it will seem real (not like we're on vacation). We are going to make Thanksgiving dinner (a little early ay?) and I'm going to invite the other teachers over. I can't wait it should be fun. We will have Turkey, deviled eggs, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, green bean cass, and maybe a fresh duck or two?! If anyone has some suggestions for adding to the menu I would love to hear it! Oh and speaking of our Village... look who was on the front page of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner! (you'll have to copy and paste it)

What an idiot! I hope our homes were left alone! Miss everyone a ton!

no you can not freeze eggs dont know if anyone told you yet
and im not positive but pretty sure bc i keep my fridge really cold bc i like my milk extra extra cold and i have to throw out eggs all the time bc they crack once they get so cold or at least three or four do out of the dozen every time we have then in our fridge so based on this i would not think it wise to try and freeze them
oh and you need to get rechargable kodak batteries a little expencive but the only reason i have even brought batteries in the past four years is to buy more rechargeable ones for like the remote or jons razor so he wont still them out of my camera and i end up at a wedding with a camera and dno batteries :)
but they are the best thing since slice bread

So, we accidentally froze a dozen eggs in our new fridge. You can freeze eggs, some do crack in the process, but the ones that didn't we just ran under hot water until we could hear them sloshing around in the shell. They cooked up fine and tasted normal (well, the first one Joel just cracked open all frozen and it just kinda plopped into the pan and looked like a crystal egg; he scrambled it for Dex). Just a little interesting FYI! ;)

Well that's good to know but I can't afford the lost cracked ones. LOL poor Dex!
