When I moved into this place I had a new countertop installed with nice, deep stone under-mount sinks. For the most part I really like them. Being under-mount means there is no rim on the countertop to catch crud. And combined with the tall farmhouse-type faucet I have, I can fill any sized pot with ease. But the downside to stone sinks is that you're working in a concrete container. I've broken/chipped a number of items because there is no "give" to the stone as there is with thing stainless steel sinks. There is no way to be careful enough when you're preparing a meal or doing dishes. If glasses don't slip out of your soapy hands, all they have to do is tip over and they crack or shatter.Wondering if I should just go back to bed. I was putting up dishes and my year old, glass, encased in plastic tea pitcher
fell in the sink.Seemed fine until I poured fresh tea in it. Started coming out the end. Actually think it busted in dishwasher. Trashed. Sigh
Then we are making our ice cream,and I am cracking eggs, when I noticed egg shells in my broken eggs to mix!
Had to dig them out. Finally got it all together and it is a churning away now.
Sitting on heating pad, until ice cream is done.then lunch time. Rest of day just usual stuff to do.
Regarding egg shells...I'd just figure that the churning would break them up enough. After all, they're almost 100% calcium. People crush them up and feed them back to their chickens.
