(For sure good creme brulee and cheesecake are porn-worthy - but I think the opening and separating of an ostrich egg counts for decent foreplay! xposted from my LJ)

It turns out that ONE ostrich egg, when separated, provides enough for one angel food cake (to be baked tomorrow), one large batch of creme brulee (about to pull it out of the oven) and ALLLLLLLMOST enough for one cheesecake - I only had to supplement with 3 of our smallest fresh eggs - it's mostly ostrich egg based too (and it's also due out in about 10 minutes.)

Edit: It took me long enough, that now the creme brulee and cheesecake are all out of the oven! The creme brulee is so yellow it's nearly orange! It tastes fantastic ... seriously - yum!



I was hopeful that the egg hadn't scrambled and I'd be able to separate it. Ostrich eggs are THICK - almost like ceramic! The sellers of this egg scored an X on the bottom so that if you want to save the egg shell, you can just puncture the egg there, stick a knife in to break up the yolk, and then let it all ooze out to use. This wouldn't work for my plan for angel food cake, which requires just the whites. So out came the dremel!

Thanks so much zpdiduda and choirboypuppy!!! I hope you're satisfied with what I'm doing with your lovely gift! :)

roswell is ... ambivalent.

 In whiby we party hard and this leads to hungovers of epic size.  How do you cure these?  With a deep fried Mars bar!

Will you share a link with me to the videos these guys make? I found something mysterious in my Indian food today that made me laugh, and I ate it, and I told my daughter who was with me that I would try to send her a link. The one that I was thinking of was the can of grubs.

Thanks!
