Healthy Eggs Recipie from China

Ugh! This egg tastes like it was boiled in urine, then peeled, then boiled in urine again for a day and a night.

"...the very best (pee) comes from boys under 10 years old. They pee in buckets and we collect it fresh every day."

Toast & Pea Butter

I was marveling last night about how much work really goes into a simple piece of toast. From grain, to flour, the scientific wonders of yeast and sugars, properly baking the loaf, slicing and then toasting the slices. A humble piece of toast is often taken for granted in this age of convenience.

After all the hard work of preparing toast, the modern foodie needs an appropriate crown for this golden canvas. What could be more pretentious than spending 5 hours refining green peas in a medical centrifuge to produce a tiny schmear of pea butter. Ground, frozen peas are spun at ridiculously high speed and eventually split into 3 interesting layers, water, fat and fiber.

Apparently you can really taste the pea-ness.
