The big piece of poultry is thawing, slowly. I think it will take forever, or thenabouts.
With the turkey a loss, it was my intention to have eggs for dinner tonight. Well, the big composed salad-thing with spinach and eggs and green beans and potato and some of the olivada. Unfortunately, the eggs smell sulfurous. They SEEMED fine before I boiled them and cracked them open. Nothing else in the kitchen smells bad. Color and texture seem fine, they're not overcooked, but the smell is so disgusting I really don't want to eat them. I boiled half a dozen eggs, planning to have extras for tomorrow. The 2 I opened already are vile. Is there something I can do to the other 4 to salvage them? Or just open them and sniff? How about the others in the carton that haven't been cooked yet? This fall, I put some sulfurous-smelling boiled eggs in curried egg salad, thinking I must be imagining the bad smell. (I occasionally hallucinate smells, as aura. Not *that* smell, though. And my sense of smell is hypersensitive. I've learned not to follow my nose very much.) It didn't make me sick when I ate a little of it, but it was unpleasant, and I ended up throwing most of it away.
The supermarket where I got the cheap turkey breast (not the one with the difficult eggs) also sells ducks. Rather, duckling. I've never cooked duck, but a friend of mine has a particular fondness for it in restaurants. Does it need to be roasted on a rack? Any recipe suggestions that aren't particularly sweet?
