The Great Riddle Thread

Salvete Romani,
I just stumbled across a few riddles the other day, and was wondering if someone might know the answer to them (I know I do ). So if you're up for it, here they are:
1) You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
2) I run over fields and woods all day. Under the bed at night I sit not alone. My tongue hangs out, up and to the rear, awaiting to be filled in the morning. What am I?
3) I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?
4) Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
5) From the beginning of eternity
To the end of time and space
To the beginning of every end
And the end of every place.
What am I?
If you can solve all these, I have some others up my sleeve, have fun solving them
Valete,
