Eggs

[Neighbor]

What is halfway done? I find it difficult to insert the cooking thermometer into the middle of the yolk to assure I have reached that 165 degree mark.

 I once used some Port instead of beer. It turned the eggs green. I couldn't consume them  as they looked seasick. Just a couple of sick greenish eyeballs staring up at me on my plate. Had to double up on the beer  at lunch to fill my protein need.

 

Note: this is just attempt at sharing memories some still humorous to me from a long long long ago past when I was young and very dumb. I do not knowingly consume alcohol, do not smoke, do not chew, and didn't select a girl that do.

You can not put a thermometer in an egg but you certainly can see if the white and yellow are done. Your eyes are the thermometer.

Ahha!

So I see. Thank you Cato.

Here I have been wetting a finger and touching it to the fry pan all these many years. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Yowee, done!

BTW I just made an egg sandwich for lunch using a glass custard cup in a pan of water as a double boiler added three grape sized tomatoes as it cooked  topped that with a thin deli ham slice and used toasted sesami seed bun as the muffin to hold it together.

Lot of work, but I don't know of a better way to hold my catsup together so that I can eat it.

 

Going down hill rapidly here. Think I will go rest  and digest my catsup.

Heyyyyyy…

my wile was a kindergarten teacher for 20+ years and for that I got to eat green eggs and ham at least twice a year....     and after five or six years it really was OK....   I really do like green eggs and ham.

If the ham is green that is not a good thing. How long has it been in the refrigerator?

I think shredded wheat is one of the world's perfect foods. Low in fat, no sodium, lots of fiber, and lots of complex carbohydrates for energy. Even some protein.

Hi, Can always add some dried locust bodies for protein; -remembering to pull their legs off first. Or have egg white as it is all protein only.

 We grew up on Muffetts a round shredded wheat muffin far more dense than the Nabisco Shredded Wheat loafs. We would run them under hot water to soften them a bit, add a butter pat and oh my  real sugar, or in my case maple syrup, but sometimes with honey, if we also had some locusts. Muffetts kinda looked like  a small bird's nest.

Now, if you aren't getting the vitamin E that you need, have three quarters tablespoon of wheat germ oil every day.
