Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme: Egg



Hi BT, BL, CTT, TNS, KL, Thg, Caro TD

Your entries are so interesting, I love the variety, different interpretations of the theme, the personal touch, the quirkiness... everything! Thg's paintings are always a delight, deceptively simple yet so expressive...
Here are my 3 entries - Hope you'll enjoy them

Caro

The first one was taken in the Barcelona market - there were all sorts of eggs, from ostrich, goose, duck, poultry, quail, you name it! It was just amazing




The second entry : Assorted egg shaped pumpkins, hand decorated with famous scenes from Chinese literature, from the Monkey King, to the Three Kingdom...





My last entry is one of my favorite snacks "Son in law Eggs" which I serve with a sauce made with tamarind juice, nuoc mam, fried shallots, crushed peanuts and lots of coriander... Just delicious! For large parties, you can make this dish with quail eggs too...

  1. Thanks Caro, what an assortment of eggs you have for us
    this week. I love them all. How do you make son-in-law
    eggs and any idea why it's called that? :-)

  2. Caro NH,
    Les oeufs par ta caméra prennent une allure follement glamour,
    si les 1ers sont lumineux, les 2nds sont artistiquement
    intéressants dans le magnifque bol, les 3èmes donnent faim.
    Bravo.

  3. Dear Caro:
    OMG! It’s very interesting to see all varieties of egg-shapes on the display at the Barcelona market!
    (it reminds me of my dear cousin – who is also a cousin of Ai-Phuong & Ai-My – his name is Hien-Huy,
    Who showed me a whole collection of different shapes of Eggs at his family farm @ Dalat, when I was about 12 years old,I was astonish by these wonderful things! – I don’t know if Ai-Phuong & Ai-My had seen that collection or not- at Ant Phan-Xung’s farm)I could imagine that you are a good cook Caro, the 3rd photo makes me so hungry; it’s could be shown at “Food & Wine” magazine
    Thank you for sharing such wonderful photos!
    Cheers from Liem
