I'd rather buy better eggs, no matter what I'm planning to use them
for... then I know I'll have no worries.  :)

I also always check for broken/cracked eggs.  For one thing, I tend to
not use them very quickly, so I don't want ones that are already
compromised from the beginning.  I also get the freshest eggs there,
since that gives more time for them to "age"... (G)   When I was buying
eggs for MJ, she'd easily go through a dozen in a week or not much more,
so I didn't have any qualms getting her ones that had a sooner buy-by/
use-by date... still checked for broken or cracked for her, though...

Mine didn't want the cereal, so I didn't force it.  He got normal
oatmeal later.  I nursed him until my milk dried up, never figured out
what happened there... but it was somewhat after he had discovered that
the stuff we were eating was food, too... ;)  With the history of
allergies in your family it was a good thing for you to have kept it up
as long as you could... just think, things could have been worse... ;/

Doesn't it, though... :)

If he's not arriving until Saturday afternoon, they'll miss out on the
earlier parts of the cooking for that day... so I don't see that that
makes much difference except that they miss less than just showing up
finally on Sunday... ;)

LOL  I suspect one needs to be a programmer (or be married to one) to
see the truth in that that makes it funny... ;)
