I invented something delicious in my kitchen yesterday, which is not something that happens very often. I like eating food, and reading and watching TV shows about food, but I am not a great chef. This invention, however, was so delicious that it made me feel like Marcus Samuelsson. It's an eggs dish, a scramble, and totally simple. I'll share the recipe with you so you can feel like Marcus Samuelsson, too. (It's hardly worth the word "recipe," in fact.) Do you like picked herring?

"A Colombian farmer is hoping to make it into the record books after one of his chickens laid a giant egg. The egg, which at 8.6oz is about four times the average size, was laid by a hearty hen named Franciscana." There is, for some reason, video accompanying this story. It sports a rather jaunty soundtrack.

It takes six minutes to make the perfect boiled egg.

The levels of rudeness among British shoppers have apparently reached epidemic proportions: "A few examples from my local supermarket. Over Christmas, a punch-up broke out in a queue after one customer accused another of pushing in. A few weeks before that, the supermarket banned the sale of eggs to customers under the age of 16, because so many were buying them in bulk, going outside and then hurling them at the walls and each other. Another time, my parents, visiting from Scotland, witnessed two teenage boys chasing another around the aisles; while running at full speed, the one being chased was yelling into his mobile for reinforcements." It's grim!

Maybe I'm less of a germophobe than most people, but where I come from, New York Times City Room bloggers, "It's so hot, you can fry an egg on the sidewalk" does not mean "It's so hot, you can scramble an egg on a pan that has been placed on top of a manhole cover that's positioned just close enough to the curb for us to not get run over in the name of journalistic stuntage." Hmph. With NYC temperatures expected to be soul-suckingly high once again today, I'm wondering if it's time to find a car and convince its owner to let me bake cookies on [...]

Hahahaha, "ova non grata."

Is this the world's smallest egg? Sure, why the hell not.

Here you will find a picture of a giant egg laid by a chicken in Iowa. Before you panic, please take note: "An egg approaching that size is unusual, but not unheard of, egg experts said." [Via]

You know what I'm hungry for today? Some Science pegged to the return of the McRib. Serve it up, Science!

Three physicians want you to know egg yolks are bad for your health. They're spreading their message by comparing the amount of cholesterol in a single egg yolk to popular fast food creations. One egg yolk contains 215-275 mg of cholesterol, depending on size, more than the Double Down's 150 mg and the Thickburger's 210 mg. The resurgent McRib has 70 mg of cholesterol.

The trio is also warning about the amount of propaganda and pro-egg disinformation Big Unfertilized Chicken Embryo is putting out there. But as [...]

Joanna Smith Rakoff, author of A Fortunate Age, helps our host Emily Gould recreate the late 90s by cooking up the infamous harissa egg scramble once found at long-lost Williamsburg institution Oznot's. (It is an exceptional hangover helper.) Cooking the Books-the Internet's only cooking and book chat show!?-is directed by Valerie Temple and shot and edited by Andrew Gauthier. (PS Our in-house harissa recipe is here!)

Yes, urine!

"Mild-mannered male squid turn into furious fighting machines when their tentacles brush a chemical on the surface of squid eggs, a finding that could give insights into how aggression works." —If you've ever wondered how or why the guys in Cool Hand Luke somehow turned eating eggs into the ultimate challenge of competitive machismo (I have always marveled—it's so great!), a recent study of squid behavior may point to an answer. Eggs. They tap into some deep Iron John type stuff.

I made bucatini carbonara last night-someday I'll share the recipe!-so I was a little freaked out this morning to hear about the absolutely massive recall of salmonella-tainted eggs. Then I remembered I'm bulletproof, and the gypsy woman told me the only way I would ever die was being run down by a bike delivery guy. The rest of you might want to watch out, though.

In case you have not yet seen this video of irate Ukrainian legislators tossing eggs, tomatoes, and smoke bombs at each other in a dispute over allowing Russia to continue using Black Sea port, by all means do watch: It is certainly more exciting than listening to a bunch of Senators use bad words. It may seem shocking and unparliamentary until you consider the fact that the lawmakers already had umbrellas on hand in the chamber. This is probably just the way they do things on Tuesdays.
