Tea? (Part 2)

[wafflycat]

There's a world of difference in taste & texture between *any* shop-bought egg and one straight from the hen and eaten that day. Since having hens I've become a complete egg-snob Put it this way - for a truly fresh egg, the white is a glutenous mass that surrounds the yolk, pretty much largely retaining the shape of the egg. The older the egg gets, the less glutenous and more watery the white becomes - so it spreads away from the yolk. The taste of a truely fresh egg is a glorious delicate flavour and the testure is soft and in layers - as the white still has its proper structure - it's not broken down & watery. Even the freshest supermarket eggs are *at least* a week old before they get to the shelves for sale. I used to use eggs purely as an ingredient, but now I'll enjoy an egg as a delicious food-item in its own right. Same for MrWC & WCMnr.

But some poeple just can't stand eggs. My friend's husband is one. He can tolerate egg in things, but just an egg makes him queasy. A duck egg will tip him over the edge.

Although I like eggs, I can understand it - an egg is quite rich.

It must be about fifteen years since I ate anything close to egginess, except when completely disguised within a cake etc.

Oh and except of course Galaxy Eggs, but then any resemblance between them and real eggs is entirely coincidental.

Health warninks accompany some glass bottles...shell out for a bottle of this and find youself up before the beak? Or some other advoca...

 

[Speicher]

Youself - is he a foreigner?

 

[Aperitif]

No - that's meself to be sure!
'youself' is a video channel for aggrandising egg-eaters, and I'm in trouble with my r's...oh well, nothing new under the

As mentionned on here earlier, definitely spring here today.

Blue skies, sunshine, and would you believe it - warmth. Outside this morning in a tee-shirt.

err not just a tee shirt,

 

[mr Mag00]

lovely here, just been for a run in shorts and t shirt, no leggings, gloves, hat etc just wonderful to feel free again!!

 

[Speicher]

Have you had to buy new kit after your impressive weight loss?

 

[mr Mag00]

no, it was tight at the end of last year! I can walk to the shallow end of the swimming pool without having to dive in the deep end to hide away. It was surprise to weigh myself and see the difference!!!

 

[Speicher]

I am pootling off now, to watch the Tour de Basque. With Tea of course.
And a note book and pencil to chose my Team for Fantasy Giro d'Italia.

Perhaps I should just put the names on pieces of paper, and see which ones the cats sit on?

 

[Arch]

I'd have thought a basque was quite restrictive to ride in.

 

[TheDoctor]

They chafe badly too!!!
Ermmm...I mean, they would chafe badly. I'd have thought. From looking at them.
*puts spade down, steps away from hole*

 

[Speicher]

It did not seem to restrict Mr Sanchez, or Mr Valverde.

 

[Arch]

Woohoo! I'm back to commuting on the summer bike, and flying along.

Well, I think I'm flying along. And I'm still puce after a sustained effort into the wind. But I FEEL fast....

In honour of my new (re)found athleticism, I'm having a fryup for dinner!
