thanks Miss Pi - I know lots of people know this method, but at the age of around 60, it hadn't ever occurred to me until my nephew was visiting. He went about making his bfast and seemed surprised when I asked him how making eggs that way 'worked'!

I was just remembering, when we were both staying at my sister's/his mom's, he was cooking egg whites and I asked him why he wasn't cooking the whole egg. At the time he said he didn't want to eat an egg embryo. To which I replied, so it's okay to eat the amniotic fluid?

We never talked about it again, but I thought of it when he was cooking "pride" eggs when visiting.
