The Egg Storage Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes Without Realizing

There's a good chance you're storing your eggs wrong right now, and it has nothing to do with how fresh they were when you bought them. Most people focus on picking good eggs at the store and stop there. But a few small habits at home, ones almost nobody thinks twice about, can quietly cut down how long those eggs actually stay good.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

7 Classic County Fair Casseroles, With the Full Recipes

County fair cooking competitions have been a fixture of American life since at least the mid-1800s, and the casserole division has long been one of the busiest. Home cooks would spend weeks testing batches, write the recipe down in pencil on an index card, and carry a covered dish to the fairgrounds in late summer knowing the judges were taking notes on appearance, taste, and whether the thing held together when you cut into it.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”

7 Supper Dishes 1970s Families Stretched to Last the Week

Through most of the 1970s, grocery prices climbed faster than they had in a generation. The sharpest jump came in 1973 and 1974, when food at home rose about 16 percent in one year and nearly 15 percent again in the next. A chuck roast went from being a Sunday treat to something you braised on Monday and ate cold in sandwiches through Wednesday. Canned tuna, dry beans, hot dogs, and whatever cut of meat was on sale became the backbone of the week's suppers, stretched with egg noodles, cornbread, or a can of cream soup.

7 Meals Military Families Carried From Base to Base

Military families moved constantly, sometimes every two years, sometimes more. New towns, new schools, new neighbors. But dinner was dinner, and the recipes a family brought to Fort Lewis ended up at Fort Bragg, then Camp Lejeune, then wherever orders sent them next. The dish was the constant when everything else kept changing.

Mississippi Mud Potatoes Bring Creamy Sauce, Smoky Bacon, and Bubbling Cheese Into Every Hearty Scoo

Tender potatoes bake under a rich, creamy mixture with plenty of melted cheese and smoky bacon, creating the kind of side dish that feels almost substantial enough to steal the spotlight from the main course. The potatoes stay soft and comforting, the cheese turns gooey and golden, and every bite gets a little salty crunch from the bacon. A handful of green onions or extra cheddar on top gives the whole pan even more flavor and texture.
