Will be interesting to see how you do this. Please post pics and procedures.

You already lost a nut. Lose the brain and all is lost.

Did you ever do that whole egg in soy sauce thing awhile back. That got me curious but I forgot about it.

I did, but I didn't end up taking any pics. I'll probably do it again sometime soon, as the results were good and I am doing a 5 course dinner where the theme is eggs in a few weeks I need to work some kinks out for.

Cool. I'll have to find that thread and see how it is done. I've been meaning to try it, but keep forgetting.

I'm not entirely sure, still working on the menu. One course will probably be a chawanmushi, but I think that I want to do an egg custard for dessert, which would be a bit repetitive for a short meal like that. The dinner will involve a lot of eggs, I know that much.
I want to do something like the tamago eggs, but throwing one or two Japanese things into an otherwise non-Asian menu just seems scattered and unfocused, which is exactly the opposite of what I'm going for.

Apparently, I used to ask for chawanmushi whenever I felt sick when I was a little kid.

MY ULTIMATE all-egg 5-course meal = Course 1 - a deviled egg type thing w/ osetra caviar (I'd have to experiment a little bit about the mixture - maybe just hollow yoke with a creamed onion or creme fraiche dollop) Course 2 - Tortilla de Patatas Course 3 - Oeufs en meurette Course 4 - Either the Robuchon custard in the shell or the martini ... or Uni w/ a raw quail egg Course 5 - A gran marnier or chocolate souffle =================================== edit - I might replace course 4 with a "steak and eggs" play, for the sake of making it more filling, which would move one of the course 4 items down to course 1 and replace my possibly ill-conceived deviled egg.

Scare those mid-westerners... do the Arpege egg, only with a little chorizo sprinkled inside for saltiness and a guac mousse instead of creme fraiche with a drizzle of your favorite Cholula on top. Stand the egg shell on a pile of that stinky sulfur smelling Himalayan salt while blasting mariachi music, and tell them you're trying to get all Alinea on them by engaging all their senses.

Me and my family have been using Lee Kum Kee for years. I hate those 'cancer' articles because for every food x causes cancer article I can find an article that says food x prevents lung cancer.

I have tried a few and I like Kikkoman the best, but it can turn bad over time. I also like their soup base over everything else I have tried.
