Fresh Eggs?

I've always wondered if there is a way to tell if your eggs are fresh or not. We always have some in the fridge and they seem to be in there for a bit too long so we end up throwing them away (and boy do I hate waste!). So this will be our new way to tell moving forward.

This is from The Kitchn, the cooking site from Apartment Therapy.

Place an egg in a bowl of water.
If the egg lies on its side at the bottom, it is very fresh.
If the egg lays upright on the bottom, it is still fine to eat, but should be eaten very soon, or hard boiled.
If the egg floats to the top, do not eat. Discard it in your compost bin.

Why this works: Eggshells are very porous, and an egg's shelf life diminishes as more air enters the shell. The more air that enters the shell, the more buoyant the egg becomes. There you go!
