Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 I tried to overcome my fear of making the Lemon Egg. I finally did and went in for my last " aerating " on Saturday. One of the eggs broke. Ick. I was NOT happy, especially since it takes a very long time to juice 32 oz. of lemon. Last night I decided to do it again but did only half, " in case. " Lucky thing too. I thought it might be safer to take the eggs out this time as I went along. First egg I touched broke. So much for this batch. I really want to make this calcium drink, but, Ian, can you give me some tips??? Is it necessary to aerate it....isn't the calcium leeching anyway? I'm trying to figure out a way to do this without the egg's coming in touch with the glass. I've been doing this in glass jars....perhaps people do this in something else???? Thanks! Valerie The other thing is I'm using organic eggs that are brown. The brown comes off in the lemon. I " guess " this is a normal thing since calcium would be in the brown???

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Arrrrrrrgh! OK, sounds as if you "aerated" too hard ) When you take out of the fridge all you need to do is a gentle swirl with the liquid and then put it back. Also, it can't be in for more than 48 hours max. I get 6 large brown eggs into one of my one quart mason jars and cover with fresh squeezed lemon juice about an inch over the top of the eggs. Yes, I know it looks a little strange and tastes even weirder (a bit like lemon chalk)(I love it, but may be I'm a little weird too), but there's no better source of organic calcium, magnesium and silicon. It's absolutely the best. Best to take out the membranes with a wooden spoon or a dull metal one - No forks allowed ;o) Any way hon, just keep on trying until you get it right and don't give up. I wish I had a dollar for every formula I've ever ruined. What was it Thomas Edison said about being the biggest failure there ever was? = He had a hundred failures for every success, but look at those successes.

So I don't move the eggs then, is that right? ONLY the liquid....sort of like just pretty much on top? Where I don't HAVE to touch those eggs? > I get 6 large brown eggs into one of my one quart > mason jars and cover > with fresh squeezed lemon juice about an inch over > the top of the eggs. That's what I used. But the glass makes it very scary. And oh gee, an inch over the top of the eggs would mean MORE than 32 oz. of lemon for my six eggs (maybe they are too large). > Yes, I know it looks a little strange and tastes > even weirder I can't tell you how much I'm (not) looking forward to tasting this after all the compliments it's been getting. LOL! >I wish I had a dollar for every formula I've > ever ruined. Gee, that's encouraging. HA!!!! Yesterday I got a brand new supply of organic lemons and organic eggs. I'm doing the three with the 16 oz. again. This will be my third try.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 See below. Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington So I don't move the eggs then, is that right? ONLY theliquid....sort of like just pretty much on top? WhereI don't HAVE to touch those eggs?Exactly! Just swirl it around gently without touching the eggs. The only time you use a wooden or very dull stainless steel spoon is when removing them after the 48 hour period. That's what I used. But the glass makes it very scary.And oh gee, an inch over the top of the eggs wouldmean MORE than 32 oz. of lemon for my six eggs (maybethey are too large). Size shouldn't matter as long as whatever jar you're using is filled about 3/4 of the way with eggs and the lemon juice is about an inch over the top of the eggs.>I wish I had a dollar for every formula I've> ever ruined. Gee, that's encouraging. HA!!!! Yesterday I got abrand new supply of organic lemons and organic eggs.I'm doing the three with the 16 oz. again. This willbe my third try. Just keep trying. You'll get it right ) Love, Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
