Things You'll Need:
- One dozen eggs in a paper or Styrofoam carton

Step 1
Obviously, you will enjoy your eggs in a number of ways, whether fried, poached or scrambled. You may even prefer eggs in an omelet or any number of dishes.

Step 2
Don't throw away those eggshells. There are endless uses for them, especially in the garden. These include placing the shells in water for several days and then spraying the water on plants, supplying them with calcium. Then you can crush the remainder and place around outdoor plants to keep snails away. Another great use is as a drain cleaner. Grind up the shells and place in the drain basket of your sink. As the shells go through your pipes, they'll help clear things that build up, like grease and hair.
