Be Still My Heart!
I ran over to Whole Foods today and look what I found!!!
From a distance I thought it was albino eggplant but then to my amazement I saw that it was an ostrich egg. Next my eyes took in the entire egg display. All eggs were set on rafia to ressemble nests and there they all were: quail eggs, pheasant eggs and most beloved of all: duck eggs.
I raised home with my cache and lost no time in frying up two of the pheasant eggs for an early lunch. They were flavorful but more delicate than chicken eggs with no "eggy" flavor. The bread is my new whole wheat sandwich bread recipe which I will be posting later this summer.
I just mixed up a small batch of pasta dough for dinner using just the yolks and a little heavy cream. No I don't have time for this but who knows how long this windfall will last.
Incidentall, duck egg yolks make THE most delicious cakes but don't use the white as they don't aerate well at all and the texture will be coarse.
