Eggology to-go!

I must say, i was browsing some health magazine and giggled out load to myself when i saw an add for these eggology to-go packs. It was a these two siblings (i am assuming...) and their mom all cuddled in front of the T.V, smiling faces, and instead of sharing a bowl of popcorn they all have these little containers of white fluff, which is actually supposed to be egg-whites! i am all about keeping the family healthy, but who are they kidding??? maybe your kids are different, but i have yet to see a child that curls up with a cup of plain egg whites! anyhow, i think making eggs in the micro if a rather niffty idea, less dishes, less hassel.  Each container is about 1/2 cup of egg whites and is 60 calories and has got 13 g of protien! very niffy indeed! most of you know what egg whits taste like, but i suppose this is a more "practical review" as in, did they turn out ok. My first run, I put them for 95 seconds (as instructed) but they turned out way overcooked. Now i did realize my microwave does tend to be super powerful, so i ran them again at about 75 second. result, yay, perfect scramble. Will i curl up in front of sex and the city with this, no, but this does make an easy breakfast/lunch/dinner option. or if you hate separating egg whites (although it SUPER easy if you do it right, use you fingers as a strainer and make sure your eggs are cold!), eggology might be a cool choice. A little pricy at whole foods but cheaper at traders so stock up on them there. heres my grade: A-

I love eating ribs while bowling....

so I DEFINITELY would eat scrambled egg whites during SATC! No, but really, I think this is a great idea and I'm totally gonna buy them next time I go shopping. I just went to the website and they sell them all over Chicago. As an aside, when you visit their site, U2's "Beautiful Day" starts blaring!

Reallly? (about the U2

Reallly? (about the U2 song). Hmm, i had no idea, but i am glad its U2 and not Miley Cyrus! I was so tempted to buy a pack of these before my baking final where i need to make a sponge cake (that involves separating 8 eggs!). thats when i realized, i didn't just need the whites, i needed the yolks too! would they sell 100% yolks to-go too?

haha, it could be like a two

haha, it could be like a two pack, one little container or whites and one of yolks.... for all those times you need that!
