You know, when I was a teenager, I lived with my aunt & uncle for a summer, who were homesteaders. Being a city kid, I thought how weird it was that they had eggs soaking in giant jars. I wouldn't eat them. Little did I know. When the eggs in the jar started going down, I said "what happened to the eggs?" to which my aunt replied "you've been eating them!". Wonderful, wonderful, memories. The best summer of my life. Thanks!

My grandmother did this method all the time to get through the winters. But in our household, there simply wasn't enough eggs to be stored. we used every single one of them with so many kids. But we had a huge storage cellar that had shelves upon shelves the full length of the cellar..and rows of shelves lines up. It was jammed full all year with the bounty we always harvested. The money we made selling at market paid for the necessities that my parents had to get at the store. It's all about balance when you live a farm life.

When I studied in Germany, way back in 1961, Mutti used to take fresh eggs and bury them in sand in the root cellar in the basement. That's just what we did in Northern Germany where there is VERY little sunlight in the winter. I ate them for the part of the winter I was studying there and then came home to the states. I was explaining this to my grandfather who showed me his root cellar and all the food that was kept there from his 1/4 acre garden. And by the way, in Germany we did not own a refrigerator! Most things will last a few days without refrigeration and Mutti would go to market two or three times a week. The only thing I had problems getting used to was chicken soup with the head and feet in it, some of the sausages made from brains and blood etc. This was 1961, 14 years after the last US soldier was killed in Berlin. Food was rather scarce. The rule was simple: if you liked it, ask what it was. Otherwise eat slowly and say "Thank you."

I've been to ancestry dot com looking up my family names of Klein and Gerlach but in 1902 half a ship of cousins immigrated to Detroit for $5 a day in pay. They've built cars and racing industry clear thru 2007 or so til the city went pop! But both these names are too common in Germany, I can't locate where they came from? but my cousin and I love to bake so we wonder if they're bakers? She may die soon, I wanted to surprise her with tickets to see where we came from... One of our cousins has family tree on English side back to the immigrant in 1899 and surprise there was that I connected with a relative with same name who said they lost contact with him when he moved to Detroit. I've told him where immigrant is buried and where to get a copy of the tree, then he told me where to locate the rest of ours back to the 1200's. Wow. I so get into all the history of stuff! Just wish someone had written down their beer recipe! Beer in a 🛀 I wonder where they got cleaned up? Only 1 per household.

I heard of preserving eggs in "water glass" years ago while looking through a very old cookbook, and didn't have any idea what "water glass" is! Back then, there was no Internet, and I didn't find it in any reference books I used. Now, all these years later, I'm delighted to find out what it is, and how this is done! Thank you! Your videos are very educational, and well done! I'm a suburban dweller, and not likely to do any homesteading, or even preserving, but it's great to learn about these methods of the past! I'm subscribing because your topics are so interesting, and you explain everything so well!

Eighteen months ago, we moved from the big city to a two-acre homestead in southern Idaho to raise veggies, chickens and goats. We knew absolutely nothing and picking up what we could from neighbors and books helped a little, but finding your site just recently has made things much easier for us. We were on the verge of actually going to the store to buy some eggs, since we're only averaging two eggs per day from our dozen hens. Now that we found out about waterglassing eggs, we can be sure that it won't happen again! You're our go-to source for homesteading ideas now!

I use it to keep the odors and flies at bay by sprinkling a cup down the hole whenever needed. I learned about the odor abatement years ago when I had a large dog and would clean up daily, placing the droppings in a plastic barrel until trash day. Now I have another use for that large bag of Lime! Thanks!
