All those years of clean living???
I never expected to live this long. Both my parental units snuffed it
in their mid-50s. My dad from a burst aortal aneurysm and my mother a
short 3 years (less 1 day) later from a stroke.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Thousand Year Old Eggs (Preserved Duck Eggs)
Categories: Oriental, Eggs, Preserving
Yield: 12 Servings
2 c Black tea; very strong
1/3 c Salt
2 c Ashes of pine wood
2 c Ashes of charcoal
2 c Fireplace ashes
1 c Powdered lime *
12 Duck egg, fresh
*Available in garden stores and nurseries.
Combine tea, salt, ashes and lime. Using about 1/2 cup per
egg, thickly coat each egg completely with this clay-like
mixture. Line a large crock with garden soil and carefully
lay coated eggs on top. Cover with more soil and place crock
in a cool dark place. Allow to cure for 100 days. To remove
coating, scrape eggs and rinse under running water to clean
thoroughly. Crack lightly and remove shells. The white of
the egg will appear a grayish, translucent color and have a
gelatinous texture. The yolk, when sliced, will be a
grayish-green color.
To serve, cut into wedges and serve with:
Sweet pickled scallions or any sweet pickled vegetable
Sauce of 2 tablespoons each vinegar, soy sauce and rice wine
and 1 tablespoon minced ginger root.
Preserved Ancient Eggs: These are often called thousand-year
eggs, even though the preserving process lasts only 100
days. They may be purchased individually in Oriental
markets.
The description of the whites turning grayish isn`t quite
accurate from the ones I`ve seen. They`re more a dark
blackish amber color-- quite attractive actually.
From "The Regional Cooking of China" by Margret Gin and
Alfred E. Castle, 101 Productions, San Francisco, 1975.
Incidentally, this is an excellent book. It`s written by
Maggie Gin of commercial Chinese sauce fame. If you can find
an early edition, get it. The later editions have been
integrated into her marketing strategies and may not be as
complete as this one is. They also call for whatever the
sauce ingredients are or "Maggie Gin`s Such and Such Sauce".
