"soft-boiled eggs" news and stories

"The incredible, edible egg!"

Younger readers might not remember that ad slogan, but the theme has been rattling around in my brain since I found out that today is National Egg Day. Treat yourself to a nice Eggs Benedict (which I bet is something you don't eat that often) or maybe visit IowaEgg.org for some great recipes ranging from omelets (I have my eye on this Apple, Cheddar, and Bacon one) to desserts. I used to have Fried Egg Sandwiches once a week when I was a kid. Topped with ketchup! Mmmmmmmmmm. I never put mustard on it like that recipe has, but that actually sounds pretty cool.

And don't forget that we have an egg category too.

When was the last time you had a soft-boiled egg? It doesn't seem like the gently cooked eggs are as popular as they once were, but perhaps, using the same techniques that were applied to fast food advertising, they can regain some of their former popularity. What techniques am I referring to? Trying to appeal to men. Of course, there is no soft-boiled egg coalition, but this particular egg cup, Mr. Egg, is designed specifically for men. Clearly based on the idea of a toy car, the metal-cast cup is chrome plated and has tiny, working wheels.

We recommend accessorizing this "ride" with a side of toast, rather than trying to find miniature rims for the wheels, but feel free to add racing stripes to personalize yours.
