Happy World Egg Day

Posted on by

Laugh with me!

I went to the grocery store today.
The eggs were on sale.  39 cents a dozen.
Why?
Because we’re celebrating

 world egg day!
I’m not kidding!

So sit back, enjoy the quotes and pictures and be thankful for your eggs.

“Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold — but so does a hard-boiled egg.”

 

Behold.  The Egg

Yet, who can help loving the land that has taught us Six hundred and eighty-five ways to dress eggs?
Thomas Moore

The goose that lays the golden eggs likes to lay where there are eggs already.
Charles Spurgeon

How to hard boil eggs:  Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan.  Add enough cold water to come 1 inch above the eggs.  Bring to boiling over high heat.  Reduce heat so water is just below simmering.  Cover and cook for 15 mintutes, drain.  Run cold water over the eggs or place them in ice water till cool enough to handle; drain and peel.z Call me strange (you all will after this post!) but I get an intense feeling of satisfaction whenever I hard-boil an egg perfectly: (with NO green ring).

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
C. S. Lewis

Concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket.
Andrew Carnegie

 

The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.
George Eliot

 
Little known fact:
On March 19, 1994 The World’s largest omelet (1,383 ft) was made with 160,000 eggs in Yokohama Japan!

  1. Ok, now I know you have been scrambled…or fried – I’m not sure which.   You are too funny!  I can’t believe that you took pictures of an egg everywhere. 
    As far as the perfect hard boiled egg…I always cook mine with my potatoes or macaroni – they come out perfectly yellow without that green layer. Plus I don’t dirty another pot.  You know how much I love to do dishes.  My mom always heated them to boiling and then turned them off and let them sit for 15 minutes.

  10. Hey, thanks for the comment on my site. I know what you mean about no green ring–although I have the opposite problem, in an effort to not boil them too long, I take them out too soon, and I am left with something between a soft-boiled egg and hard!I love all the quotes you have on your blog–makes me want to grab a pen and paper and start madly scribbling them down. I especially appreciate the one by Thoreau in the post before this one–that’s a lesson God’s been teaching me lately.
