BOGO or not, I just don't know

That's a lotta egg whites, Darlin...

Nom Nom Nom

In our quest to devour less cholesterol, we’ve switched from normal eggs to egg whites in a carton. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that these eggs are just as tasty as real eggs (since they are real eggs).

The only caveat is that since the white goo has no yolk (as was the plan) that the end results (scrambled eggs, french toast) are so anemic they don’t look like real eggs. A few drops of yellow food coloring has solved this problem very nicely!

For some reason, I had to learn the hard way that egg white goo will not work for ‘eggs in a basket’, since this dish is all about the yolk. Duh.

They named it J-Lo!

Last night my sister Michelle (who lives in Cleveland) sent me the following news story.

This news takes place in my local area of Ocala, Florida and is about a chicken with two rear ends.

Cindy and I hadn’t even read the story yet, and we began discussing it based on the link text. Being the kind-hearted gal she is, Cindy felt sorry for the chicken. Being the ever-hungry devourer of egg and fowl that I am (they call me El Voraz Devorador de Pollo), I wondered if this hexed hen could lay twice the normal number of succulent eggs.

Since the chicken appears to be the result of a natural mutation, I don’t feel any special pangs of sympathy for the critter – it’s not as if it’s the unfortunate result of a diabolical gene-splicing experiment gone wrong.

If this hen and others like it could be bred with similar roosters, we might end up with super egg-layers within a few short delicious generations.

After reading the story, we discovered the chicken does not lay two eggs at the same time (which apparently is better for the chicken, since twice the eggs would mean a calcium deficiency – but could we not give the chicken supplements?).

Raising half the number of chickens means fewer to care for while maintaining the same egg production - this should equal more resources for the chickens, and hopefully better conditions, more elbow room (wing room?) in the pens, and etc.

Thoughts?

Over-eating for symmetry's sake

I remove 1 egg from the old carton, and 1 egg from the new carton... I feel a little mental push to eat 3 eggs this morning, just so we'll have an even number of eggs.

I resisted! Yes! A personal victory! :::and the crowd goes wild:::
