Ode to Eggs

If I had to choose one food as my favorite it would be eggs. I love eggs. Not in a fluttery, heart palpitating, beginning of a relation kind of love but in a long enduring, til death do we part kind of love. If there is a soulmate food, eggs are mine. Best part...unlike other favorite foods eggs do not trigger binge eating. Lucky me!

All that being said, I've never been fond of plain egg whites. Too plain. I need at least one yolk to flavor it up. Egg whites alone have no taste. When I did my competitions there were times I'd have to eat 10-12 egg whites and I would choke them down. Season with hot sauce. Salt and pepper. Salsa. Anything to get it down. Eggs over medium with the yolks? I could eat that 3 times a day and never get tired of it. Hard boiled eggs? If there's yolk, hell yeah! Omelets, scrambled, even egg beaters. Yum!

Along comes OSM (see LLU's operation safe mode) and my thoughts on egg whites have changed. OSM has cleaned my palate. Since I no longer eat chemical laden frankenfoods and I stick to one ingredient "if God made it eat it, if man made it don't eat it" style of eating my tastebuds have changed. My perception of flavor is so heightened that I fell in love with egg whites. Who knew they had such a delicate flavor? And full of flavor they are! You're gonna think I'm crazy but this morning as I ate my egg whites I thought to myself, ahhhh, this is MY caviar.....so good!

The strawberries and cherries I had as my side to egg whites were pretty rocking, too.

And then I got to thinking, action mode is over, but this how I eat. This is my preferred breakfast. I don't WANT anything else. Sure I might switch it up...mango instead of berries...but this is my Lifestyle. My choice.
