Eggs are quite amazing-they can be our main dish, they can be our
dessert, they can even be a drink. They can be baked, fried, boiled, microwaved, steamed, and in the old days even taken raw. They can be separated into two foods-yolk and egg white. They are flavorless when combined with other flavors, yet have a great flavor all their own. Motion inflates them as does heat. Eggs are a renewable resource, repeatedly reproduced by chickens. America needs to protect eggs and thus chickens. Amazing eggs-still amazing prices. Two eggs would fill the belly of a homeless person for what, 20cents? (ok 30 cents if you are buying marked up organic free to be me eggs.) Have you ever wondered about the egg shell? Surely there are applications where ground up egg shell could be used? Egg shell flour? Egg shell cement? Should America be recycling egg shells? Do we already? Will a chicken lay an egg gravity-less in space? The contents of an egg are both shapeless and shaped. Eggs elevate liquids into shapes that will hold. Have you ever wondered what else you could make with eggs? What happens when you blend eggs with non-traditional ingredients and bake? Syrup? Dr Pepper? Baileys Irish cream? Miracle Whip? Cinnamon and sugar? Barbeque sauce? Salad dressings? Walk on the wild side and experiment with an egg or two-it won't cost much. If there is a newspaper/magazine out there that would like to pay me to write a column feel free to contact me, lol. |

I was grossed out! <G> It's also a bad idea. Raw egg white contains a protein called avidin, which binds tightly to a vitamin called biotin and makes it unavailable nutritionally. You need biotin, but you only need a tiny amount. About the only way to get a biotin deficiency is to both eat a poor diet and eat raw eggs, which some alcoholics do. Raw eggs are a folk remedy for hangovers. In biochemistry class, I was taught that biotin was discovered from studying a form of memory loss in alcoholics that was traced to deficiency of this vitamin, though I haven't found a reference on the net to back up this story. It might not be true. |
