eggs please

This post will not be long just a quick little love to letter to my friend the egg.  I wasn't planning on this being my next post but I have been saving up some photos of some recent meals and decided why not share them with you my blog readers and by blog readers lets not lie what I really mean is my family and like 10 friends (thanks for reading love you!)
I eat eggs almost everyday which is way more then I should but its because they are damn good I just can't help myself.  Lucky for me I have a roommate who shares my love of eggs as well as a mutual love of cheese, coffee and butter and also an allergy to fruit (I know match made in heaven right?).  Oh but the point my roommate makes the best poached eggs she should totally go pro at egg poaching if it was an option.
Eggs can be made a million different ways which is way I love them.  They also make for some yummy baked goods and give foods amazing powers like a souffle light as air and fluffy and delicious.
My favorite type of egg would be soft boiled I have a huge love of egg cups and when my Mimi makes me soft boiled or "dippy eggs" as they are known to the children of my family I still use the same egg cup I had from childhood and still get my egg with a side of toast soldiers slathered in butter.  did I mention how great my Mimi is? I have upgraded a bit in my home and now use olive wood egg cups cute right??
If you are looking to make some scrabbled eggs but always think the turnout dry and gross check out this Mark Bittman article.  If you want to add a good egg cook book to your collection try the good egg or the farmstead
and like everything else these days buy eggs at your local farmers market they really do taste better and are totally worth the extra cost or better yet raise your own chickens


coming soon letter press recipe cards......
