Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yes, that is a good way to cook a fried egg. You can also break an egg into a saucer, pierce the yolk, cook in the microwave. I have a 1250 watt and it takes 30 seconds. I also spray a little oil on the saucer. You could make a nice bread pudding!!! I get free-range brown eggs from a friend, and yes, they have a much better taste, and I know they are fresh. M On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 6:09 PM, Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird wrote: > Welcome, Louisa!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I get tons of compliments when I bring deviled eggs to barbecues -- that's my stand-by, they're easy and even using free range eggs, cheaper than a lot of side dishes. I think part of the reason people like them so much is because I use free range eggs. I just checked Craigs List and somebody in my area just posted today that they have fresh free range eggs for $1.50 a dozen -- I'm going to try to get some this weekend! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yes, deviled eggs are always a hit, and I love to add things to the yolks. I get my eggs for $1.00 per dozen, but the woman who has them is my friend.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I had the most wonderful egg the other day in a Chinese cafe. They served a bowl of soup with a whole hard boiled egg simmered in the broth. The white of the egg took on the color and flavor of the broth and the yolk stayed bright and creamy. Very nice.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 This was a vegetable broth that was sweet and tart and rather orange in color. It had baby bok choy, shredded carrots, snow peas and water chestnuts that I can readily recall.... and the pretty delicious egg. --- On Sat, 4/25/09, Marilyn Daub <mcdaub wrote: Marilyn Daub <mcdaub Re: Louisa and Marilyn - eggs!
