  • Because normally eggs are very cheap, very easy, and very healthy. When you’re broke and living off pasta, beans, and rice, eggs are something you make that you feel good about feeding yourself and your family. Anybody can make good scrambled eggs, and those two eggs in the morning can get you through until you get back home after work.

    I can’t explain everyone’s obsession, but mine is easy to explain: I want to feed my baby two eggs most days of the week. They’re clean, she enjoys them plain, they’re easy for her to chew, they’re very quick, and there’s no question on whether they cooked long enough. I hate the taste of eggs but I ate them non-stop through my pregnancy and now as I breast feed. You can’t beat them for efficiency. Some days those two eggs are all I eat until dinner time.

    They’re also crazy versatile! Scrambled, eggs-in-a-basket, hard boiled, French toast, over easy, runny on toast with a tomato slice, egg salad.




  • There’s a guy in Florida who eats a lot of raw chicken (and washes it down with raw eggs apparently) and he does just fine. You can Google “guy who ate raw chicken for 100 days” and a bunch of stories come up about him. His name is John.

    It’s made me feel better about being less like a crazy person in my kitchen following my husband around critiquing how he’s cross contaminating every surface in my life. I don’t think he’s careful enough. I stopped freaking out about it and we haven’t gotten sick so it turns out he is careful enough, and I just have anxiety.

    I agree we’re better off to cut out fast food, but…

    How long are the drive thrus you get stuck in? I think the worst I’ve ever had was 20 minutes and it was because their registers were acting up. The simplest meal at home is definitely 20 minutes unless you’re literally only eating plain ramen or cereal. I mean I guess you can make an egg in less than 20 minutes, but that doesn’t count the time in the grocery store or dishes?
