Went to the Pasar Malam (night market) yesterday and bought a whole lot of eggs. My sister-in-law looked at me and asked 'Can you REALLY finish the whole tray of eggs?'
Of course we can! We are an extremely egg-loving family! We egg everything!
Half boiled eggs is our favorite! When perfectly done, you dip a piece of bread into it and then tuck the soaked piece of bread into your salivating mouth...oh geez...that is what heaven is made off. Half-boiled eggs. And it is filling too. Sometimes, if I skip my breakfast (not because I want to but because I don't have the time for it), I pop two eggs into the soft-boiled eggs maker and a couple of minutes later...VIOLA...perfect lunch. During my early partying days, a bowl of two soft-boiled eggs was also midnight snack. It works any time, anywhere.
Hard boiled eggs. I like hard boiled eggs too but one of my boys don't. There is beauty in hard-boiled eggs too, darling, but never mind, soft-boiled it is. I will have mine hard. Please chlorox your brain.
Poached eggs.Darn. This is something that I love and have yet to master. Yes, I know that it involves some vinegar and you are to leave it alone and not touch it while it cooks and all that jazz but some parts of it sticks to the bottom of the wok (it is a STICK one, not a NON-STICK wok. I have something against non-stick stuff) and there is HELL in scrubbing the bits that stuck away. And if you don't do it properly, the poached egg is slightly sour.
Sunny side up! Yup yup yup! Love it, love it, love it. I will eat all the white parts away and then save the yolk for the last. The best part is the worst part, I know. Why does unhealthy things have to taste so good, right? This world is screwed up like that.
Cakes and all types of baked stuff have eggs in them. I have yet to see or find a recipe that does not require eggs. Have you? I don't really know about this one.
Steamed meat. Although I don't think an egg is an integral part of the recipe but I think with an egg, the meat rocks better. =)
Patties and meatballs. Breadcrumbs and eggs. Patties are made with these, man! My favorite too, I am telling ya.
I am sure I left some stuff out but I have to get back to work now. So yes, I think we can finish the tray of eggs in no time.
I am so egg love with eggs.
XOXO,
Marsha
