Eggsellent



I love these oversized egg cups. I got them from a home-wares shop called House near me. They even have little woolly hats to keep the eggs warm while you’re preparing the soldiers. Not exactly a necessity but they do look cute.

They came in individual tins and I had a look at one this morning to see if there was a web site mentioned. It’s funny, in this day and age you expect all consumer goods to reference a web site but there was no www address to be found on the tins. If all else fails, google it. But still nothing.

So, sorry, if you want to add these colourful egg cups to your collection you will have to send me an e-mail and I’ll pick them up for you at my local store.



And staying on the egg note, a couple of weeks ago I was flicking through a great cookbook called Eggs by Michael Roux which contained some lovely looking egg recipes. Being a big egg fan (that’s a big fan of eggs, not a fan of big eggs) I was very interested but I think I got distracted by something my Mum was showing me. I didn’t buy the book but it was on my mind. Recently I was reading a post on Chubby Hubby about baked eggs and, low and behold, it was from the same book. The egg gods were sending me a message so off I went and bought it yesterday. I see many potential lunch dishes in here and as soon as I’ve made one I’ll be sure to let you know.

I think your eggcups look great, especially with the little hats. What a good idea and would look so nice to present to an overnight guest for breakfast.

Eiller, I was so happy using them myself I forgot I could also impress my guests.

Jenjen, at least you live in Sydney too so you can pop into House to get them too

Those egg cups are magnificent, and your eggs, with the sunny yellow yolks look sublime!
