Here’s another idea to add to my list of silly business ideas: a cookbook about eggs. Only eggs–not omelettes, not souffles, not quiches. Just eggs. Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, soft boiled eggs, you name it.
It’d include all sorts of techniques: thoughts on what to add to scambled eggs (I prefer half and half and salt and pepper and sometimes even cream cheese), frying tactics (I like to use a lid for a slightly heat-sealed yolk without the danger of a flip-n-break, a maneuver Mike F. introduced me to), reflections on various cooking implements, etc.
UPDATE (5 minutes later, after consulting Amazon.com): The book exists. It’s called “The Totally Eggs Cookbook.” My hopes are dashed. (This reminds me of the time I realized that my idea for a toaster oven cookbook had already been realized by someone else.) Back to the drawing board…
