I thought you didn't care much for US Scareways. Or was that "back in the day"?

Some sox are coming on thumb drives these days. Not many but I am beginning to
see it more and more. Most of my useful stuff is all downloadable from the
Whirled Wide Wait.

New Egg usually has a range of open-box, off lease and/or refubs (all with
warranty) available in the economical price ranges .... usually with free
shipping.

      Title: Eggs On Hand
 Categories: Eggs, Pickles, Preserving
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
MMMMM----------------------HARD COOKED EGGS---------------------------
     12    Eggs

MMMMM--------------------PICKLING INGREDIENTS-------------------------
    1/2 c  Vinegar, white
      1 c  Water
      1 ts Sugar
    3/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Peppercorns
      5    Whole cloves
    1/2    Bay leaf
      1    Chile pepper, dried
 
  HARD COOKED EGGS: If desired, prick large end of egg with
  a pin to prevent them from cracking. Place eggs in a single
  layer in a large deep saucepan. Cover with at least 1 inch
  (2.5 cm) cold water over top of the eggs. Cover saucepan
  and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove pan
  from heat to stop boiling.
  
  Let eggs stand in water for 20 to 25 minutes.
  
  Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs for 2
  minutes (for easier peeling and to prevent a grey ring from
  forming around the yolks).
  
  PICKLED EGGS: In a small saucepan, combine remaining
  ingredients. Cover and bring to a boil. Over low heat,
  simmer for 10 minutes. Strain liquid and cool to room
  temperature. Place 6 peeled hard cooked eggs in a screw-top
  jar. Cover with vinegar solution. Screw cover in place and
  let stand in refrigerator for at least 2 days before using.
  
  Pickled eggs will keep several months without refrigeration
  if the container in unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and
  use within one month.
  
  NOTE: Keep a jar of hard cooked or pickeled eggs in the
  refrigerator for instant snacks, devilled eggs, garnishes,
  meals on the run, sandwich fillings, salad plates or quick
  supper recipes.
