From the time she was a baby, Jenna has never liked egg
yolks. I had attempted to give them to
her between the ages 6 months and a year.
I would scramble the yolk, hard boil it, fry it, poach it - it didn't
matter what I did with it, she didn't enjoy eating it.
My son Biff doesn't eat egg yolks either - I think just
because he's health conscience. He used
to give me his egg yolks - which for the most part we would use as an
ingredient in cakes or cookies.
When I introduced Jenna to the egg white, she was fine
with it. Eventually she learned to like
scrambled eggs (even with the yolk - though white is preferable)
and even hard cooked
eggs. At first without the yolks - but
now she'll actually eat the yolk. But
it's got to be the right shade of yellow.
We do well at sharing fried eggs. She will eat all the white, and I will dip my toast in the yolks. (Of course I always enjoy the most fattening part)
Her favorite sandwich to order at subway is the bacon,
egg and cheese on flatbread. She thinks
it's awesome when she can order egg white only.
I LOVE deviled eggs.
She won't even touch them.
Not even these darling
Easter egg chicks.
Roland made some meringue earlier this week. Yesterday I decided to make a custard. I should have taken a picture. I didn't realize what pigs Roland and I would
be over it. I'll have to make again as
it was delicious.
Jenna missed out.
There was a time when we
were in Arizona and my brother-in-law was fixing breakfast for everyone. He asked me how I liked my eggs. I told him "as an ingredient inside of a
doughnut"
He thought I was kidding.
I wasn't.
