Tastes: Friday Food Fun - Week 1 - Eggs

Friday Food Fun
1. If you decorated eggs, post a picture of them. (Notice the glitter on the close-up.)








2. What is your favorite way to eat eggs? (Scrambled, fried, hard boiled, soft boiled, sunny side up, Eggs Benedict, egg salad, etc.) My favorite way to eat eggs in Eggs Benedict. But, I am not much of a chef, so my next favorite, much easier way to fix eggs is sunny side up.





3. If you have a unique way of eating eggs, please describe your recipe.
    I like to sprinkle dill and paprika on my sunny side up eggs.
4. Do you have a funny story about eggs?
    I was dyeing some Easter eggs, something I haven't done for probably 25 years. I made a batch of hard-boiled eggs (something I had never done by myself before). Well, apparently, even though I recently read the recipe (because I'm working on a cookbook for my mom) and thought I remembered it (thought being the operative word), I didn't.  After I took my pictures of the eggs I had dyed so beautifully, I wanted to eat one of my eggs, and I cracked it open to find out that it was not cooked completely - slightly runny. I cracked the next one open -- same thing. Soon, I had a plate full of cracked open eggs, and I thought, well, at least I can tell people I have a recipe for Easter egg salad.







5. Do you know of clips from TV/movies with eggs?
**I Love Lucy - This is a funny "I Love Lucy" clip where Lucy stuffs "eggs" in her shirt. It was stated that (at the time) it had the longest recorded audience laugh.


** Napoleon Dynamite - Napoleon Dynamite at the chicken farm - eating an egg-stra special lunch.


** Bridget Jones' Diary - Her mother gets a job demonstrating an egg peeler product.


6. Do you know any egg-related web pages/blogs?
    **American Egg Board - home of the incredible, edible egg

     **An Article for The Florida Times
