I just eat what I like and I’m good.

[ConservativeMind]

I am going to see if I can find that.

Thank you!

On the eyeglasses, did you have LASIK to eliminate them?

[Jvette]

Five minutes in the instant pot with a five minute ice bath works beautifully.

If you have an Asian supermarket (like H Mart or Lotte) near you, you’ll probably be in luck.

[ConservativeMind]

I go to H Mart about every two weeks for mushrooms.

I will look for this.

I had no idea that you could buy Omega-3 enriched eggs. I will look for these. I found this good article on that topic:

“Can someone explain to me why people only eat the egg whites?”

I don’t know, but I think they do it because it’s fashionable — like being a vegan. It makes them feel superior and able to act sanctimonious.

[MayflowerMadam]

That’s how I do it, except that I don’t turn off the heat completely. After it comes to a boil I turn it down as low as possible for 15 minutes. Then put in a bowl of ice water. Perfect peeling. But don’t use eggs that are super fresh, as that membrane does NOT want to let go.

Morning glory? The actual flower?

[markomalley]

It's more commonly called water morning glory, water spinach, Chinese watercress. The genus is ipomoea

Here's what it looks like in my garden:

Just in time for another round of the bird flu!

No, my eyesight just improved with change of lifestyle. I still use reading glasses but I no longer need eyeglasses to see far away.

I was told years back eggs would kill me.

Because egg yolks contain cholesterol, it was thought that eating them would raise one's cholesterol. However, it was later discovered that eating the cholesterol did not cause a rise in blood cholesterol in the people that ate them. There are still people who believe eggs are bad. I work with a guy who only eats egg whites if he has eggs. He also won't eat anything fried. He still believes in the old food pyramid and eats lots of carbs and has a nice little belly on him.

I stick mine in the Instant Pot and hit the Egg button. When the pressure drops and I can open the unit up, I run them under cold water. I can almost get the shells off in two pieces.

[1Old Pro]

Many recipes recommend putting cold eggs in cold water, bringing to a boil, and then turning off the heat.

Worked perfectly for me 3 days ago.

"Because egg yolks contain cholesterol, it was thought that eating them would raise one's cholesterol."

Right. What most people don't know is our own body produces cholesterol which is the mother hormone. From that, hormones are than separated into testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, growth hormone, and many others.

Triglyceride fat levels are now the main concern for heart disease and other physical problems over cholesterol.

I eat fresh eggs daily. Thanks!
