INCREDIBLE EDIBLE - Years ago everyone ate eggs. They were good for you. Then came a report that eggs were bad for you. Horrors, they gave you bad cholesterol. Must eat in extreme moderation. Chickens every where danced with glee. Then several years ago a report came out that eggs weren't actually that bad and having three a week should be okay but no more than three. Now they are saying that eggs are no problem at all, have as many as you want! You realize this means in a few years bacon, mayo and butter will be the healthiest foods for you. To find out more about this new report go here.
EGG MOUSE - Can't get your kids to eat eggs? Trying to make eggs "fun" in the morning? How about Disney Eggs? Disney is now selling eggs. Don't ask me folks. Eggs with a Disney character stamped on the shell. And if you have time, you can even find a Micky Mouse mold to shape your sunny side eggs into mouse ears. No idea at this point how much these eggs will cost, but me? I think I'd take some of my Mickey Mouse stamps and stamp my own characters on some cheap eggs and see if that doesn't work with the kiddies. For a look at the commercial touting these new eggs go here.
VALENTINE EGGS - If you are still looking for something to cook your honey for breakfast and really don't want to go to a lot of work but need something with great presentation? Look no further than Pinch My Salts Heart-Shaped Egg In A Nest. Totally cool idea and I think an awesome way to start this Saturday off. Go here.
INCREDIBLE PEOPLE - Did you know Americas Egg Board won a Golden Egg for excellence in marketing in Shanghai last year? What, you didn't even know there was an American Egg Board? How about the fact that this month they started a new campaign about the incredible people who eat incredible eggs? To check out some of these incredible people go to the www.incredibleegg.org site. Maybe you are incredible too?
I never let it stop me from eating eggs...I still love them!

I love eggs -- one of nature's most perfect foods. I love them as omelets, encasing whatever leftover cheese or veggies I have on hand. I love them in custards, so smooth and rich. I love them hard-boiled in salad Nicoise. And I love one cracked open and baked in the center of a wood-fired pizza.

All hail liquid chickens! Seriously, eggs, almonds, cashews & tuna are my main protein sources; I couldn't possibly break any of those habits. However, someone recently bent my ear about quail eggs having 3 times the protein as poultry eggs. I wonder if that is true? The first thing I thought was that consumption of quail is illegal, but then I remembered I was using my california brain cells, LOL... it may not apply here...

I thought that Disney selling eggs was a joke. What the? They should just stick to stuffed animals.

Noble Pig - I'm right there with you on having never stopped eating my eggs.
Jenn - I just had a guy in my building at work say that his doctor told him not to eat more than two or three eggs a week because they were so bad for you! Sigh.
NotSoccerMom - Mr. L made them for me and they were lovely!
Carolyn - Okay, I now have to have one cracked and baked in a wood fired pizza! Does someone at a restaurant make this?
Arch - They sell quail eggs all over around here as they are served at Japanese restaurants. Not sure about the protein part though.
Jude - May be a joke which is why I find it funny!
