That's a good idea, but I've already put in three big pieces of it in the water with some cinnamon, ginger, and a tiny dash of nutmeg. I can't wait to bring it to school in place of water! I don't notice it now, but when the water first started boiling with the seaweed in it-- I had the lid off at that point-- my kitchen smelled like the ocean.

I found the same thing.

I'd always used them to take with me, but I'd always had to stuff a bowl in my cooler or whatever if it would fit. Since eggs keep fine at room temp, I suppose now in the future all I need is a carton of eggs and my hand... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never tried that, I'm not sure how well it works, but I just crack an egg in half and pass the yolk back and forth between the halves of the shell a couple of times. Works like a charm, and I (usually) don't get egg white all over my hand. -- Berg bberg@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! > > Chris @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ that's kind of funny--to think of using two bowls and a fork!! i've never done anything like that. i bought a nice stainless steel egg separator gadget that sits over a mug--works like a charm--and i thought i was on top of my game, until i read somewhere about the finger method, which is so much more appealing in several respects, and now my gadget, despite residing in a drawer, has spiritually gone to gadget heaven like most gadgets do. by the way, i read brandon's post about not getting white on his fingers, but i have to say that the small amount of white on my fingers (most drips into my compost bowl) rinses off instantly under water without any effort (unlike grease), so i have no complaints about this part of it. by the way, raw eggs are a great travel food as long as you have a paper towel to wipe off your hands. they keep fine for weeks without refrigeration. mike parker > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
