Haiku52:
Our thoughts on food and cooking
in seventeen beats.

Samantha Weiss-Hills:
how to be a good
egg: don't break until you hit
the hot pan—crack, splat!

Caroline Lange: good egg, good enough
to what—eat? hold? coddle? what
a kind of reward

Fried, boiled, scrambled, poached...
Nothing better than an egg.
Bonus: They're healthy!

Tweet all day of eggs
No other food can exist
Should I say, egg-ist.

He doesn't cook much,
But hubby shows love with
Saturday omlettes.
