Norcold Refridgerator and Egg Preservation with Water Glass

Our old ugly brown Norcold Fridge (model de-251d) works well, keeps our dorm size amount of groceries cool. I'm not sure if it is original with boat, it looks pretty old, but works good. The freezer part I finally figured out how it works and is now frozen, some stuff is stuck frozen to the rack. Now I have to unstick by warming it up, having it leak everywhere, remove stuck groceries, and maybe place freezer paper down so that no more future items stick to it.

The size we are getting used to, we went from 18 cubic feet to 2.7 cubic feet fridge. Grocery shopping, and shopping in general, now has a new meaning. I am always searching for supplies which take up little room. I feel like a schizophrenic shopper, need this, but it doesn't fit, so buy that because it will fit.

To save space we are trying a new thing egg preservation using water glass, or sodium silicate. This recipe we got from Internet and understand this was an old time way to preserve eggs. Hubby bought two dozen farm fresh eggs, a glass container, and we already bought the water glass. We boiled 9 cups of water, let it cool, added 1 cup water glass, then added eggs (after only wiping straw and poo off each egg, no washing protective coating off). We figured out the eggs displace liquid and overflowed, so we had to take out some of our water glass and water mixture, and spill some too all over the counter. Overall it worked out well, and our daughter said it looked very decorative : ). We plan to keep them in there until our current dozen supply in fridge is used up, but they are supposed to last up to 6 month if stored in cool, dry, dark place.
