My Frozen Eggs & MY Shaved Bush

Those of you who have been following my tribulations on facebook would know that I have been having royal pains in accumulating egg whites. For starters, I'd been storing 10 whites to attempt the macaroons... when one morning, I noticed they had DISAPPEARED from the fridge. The maid had used them all up ...and fried them!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

THEN, this week alone, I get 5 orders for pavlovas. That's 30 egg whites, .....which means, 30 yolks I know not how to use. A status message on facebook inviting people to harvest my eggs garnered fairly good response.... uses ranged from feeding dogs, hair masks, face masks, kuih seri muka, tiramisu, ......and the winner, SEMI FREDDO.

Initially I was told by the macaroon instructor, that you cannot store egg yolks. But according to the internet, you can, and salmonella is killed at temperatures of 59C...which isnt very high...(disclaimer here.....that's what the internet said...please do your own research)....

So I lovingly freeze my eggs for Paprika, who said she could use them for semi freddo. I give you my lovingly frozen eggs....just waiting to be in semi-nated with freddo...


Now, not content with using up my egg whites, this same maid TO MY HORROR, cleared out the entire kadok bush that I have been raving about recently!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! In there no end to the massacre!!!

Anyway, for my impromptu "SLOGAN CONTEST", these are the "vouchers" that I'm giving away. I shall consult with esteemed flogger, AWHIFFOFLEMONGRASS to decide who is the winning entry. (1st and 2nd prize respectively)


Paprika, I hope you have fun with my frozen eggs.....

[LATEST UPDATE]

For the benefit of Nipple Joe, who wanted to see my shaved bush.....here's the before and after pic...

And AFTER...

i have to win! i've already started preparing an acceptance speech.
my current draft:
ohmygawd ... can this really be happening? i never thought in a million years that i'd win. i'm just a small town boy, and people told me not to waste my time chasing big dreams. i'd like to thank fatboybakes and awhiffoflemongrass, for showing me that dreams can come true after all. it's such an unbelievable, humbling honour to even be considered with all the other great, great entries. everyone else was so creative, i truly and sincerely have such tremendous respect for their work. i'd like to thank god, all my friends, my family and everybody who's supported me through the years. you know who you are, and you know that i love and appreciate all of you very, very much. i'm sorry for rambling, this is one of the most incredible moments of my life, i wish i could hold on to it forever. you've given me something to cherish till the day i die. thank you, thank you, thank you!

GFAD said...

Can't wait to see if the words 'flaccid' 'perky' and 'swollen' would come up in your titles soon...

I had the most delectable creme brulee the other day. Made by a french lady. She did not use individual ramekins, and used a biggish platter instd. When I asked her how many egg yolks she used, suffice to say in that one spoonful I put in mouth, I was actually eating 1/2 a yolk and I still had easily 6-8 spoonsful left!! 30 yolks... sup sup sui la!

You know how to make red velvet cake ah?

From tongues to eggs and bushes? One can only anticipate with delicious fervour your next gastrorgasmic organ of choice. ;)

teckiee said...

Make indonesian kueh lapis with the yokes?

qwazymonkey said...

Freezing eggs? Is FBB's menopausal? Is that why you're so kranky and sarky all the time? ROFL :P

thamby said...

qwazymonkey's comment takes the cake. :-P

fatboybakes said...

qwazymonkey, how dare you call your elders kranky and sarky? i dont even know what that means.

thamby, he's not getting any...cake, not from me, at any rate.

nigel, if what happened? if your bush got shaved or if your eggs got frozen?

teckiee, you might as well gouge my eyes out, than ask me to patiently sit by the oven making kek lapis....as for freezing my eggs, for now 4 is enough la. who knows, when i am 80, i might want one more...

fatboybakes said...

LFB, how strange u used the word gastro... my next post IS gastro related.

gfad, u pyschic ah? i was just talking to thamby about red velvet yesterday! damn, i cant find my issue of flavours that has it. i bought beetroot oridi though. i'll try to incorporate those words in my next post.

bangsar babe, yes she is indeed. overly so.

jules, that sounds soooo risque...bake the maid...eeeeeekssss

fatboybakes said...

ciki, wat tok u, u ALWAYS dine with thamby and me ma....

christy, first my eggs, then my bush!!! aitelyu! oh, once she even discarded my shrivelled passionfruit, thinking it was rotten. some more i was saving it for a pav.

TNG, oh, i just noticed u mentioned red velvet, hence GFAD musta said it, so she's not psychic. chis. i dont do red velvet la.......

Rebecca Saw said...

UnkaLeong said...

arrrghh! It's clean shaven! Hahaha...There there, they are a hardy species. Will grow back to be thick and lustrous in not time. But hor, it looks like your maid de-weeded the whole patch. Still got akar or not?

Ciki said...

NOT NUFF ..:P

Rarebeet said...

Your bush looks sparse. Thanks again for the eggs. They are frozen and waiting to spawn. :-0

qwazymonkey said...

Thamby: does that mean I get the starwood vouchers? Come let's go celebrate!

FBB: why no cakes from you? I've been nothing but nice and honest with you *dusting my halo*

Thamby said...

Ciki, wat tok u, u ALWAYS dine with thamby and me ma...Uhmmm. Was I there?

Lyrical Lemongrass said...

qwazymonkey: No lah. I was just laughing at your latest statement. You'll have to try harder for the contest. :-P (But...shhhhh....I oso got my own vouchers...we go makan2 together k)

FAD MOM said...

wow!!! i'd flip if those were my kaduks!! they are such a rarity in Sg here and i don't even know where to get one..

same thing with my eggs. Yolks, i mean... i wouldn't know what to do with so many yolks... after attempting macaroons that never seemed to really take off... hehehe

qwazymonkey said...

LL: Ooh, if that's the case who cares about the contest. BFF has its benefit!

The Duo Dishes said...

Thanks for showing us how to freeze yolks! We were told they perish fast too, but if you did it, it must be safe. :)

fatboybakes said...

duodishes, i better claim indemnity here, coz i got that info off the internet.

qwazymonkey, yes, she can squeeze u between those puppies of hers...

FADMOM, the strangest thing is, for years, i've been asking around for kadok cuttings, not knowing they were sprouting right under my nose...and when i FINALLY ascertain that they ARE kadok, she goes and murders the dang plant! aitelyu!

fatboybakes said...

lyrical lemongrass & thamby, who are one and the same, deii, whats this, going behind my back and stealing my contestants...chis bedebah woman. or man..

qwazymonkey, mind u dont get electrocuted wearing those circular flourescent tubes on your head.

paps, let me know when my babies have spawned.

fatboybakes said...

ciki dear, there there... too much of a good thang can be bad...

unka, i not sure if she de-rooted the bush la...but apparently she did transplant some into a pot. roll eyes.

TNG, i am looking at my two beetroots as we speak....not sure if they're ripe, and can be juiced. oddly enough, none of the internet martha stewart recipes use beetroot, only catherine lau uses...

Jaslyn said...

Haha I know what you mean about leftover egg yolks/whites. I never have the heart to throw them out, so I keep them... only to throw them away a couple of days later :P
I finds egg yolks extremely adorable though, I took a couple of pics of them and put them on my blog. If you want to see them, it's cutiepieohmeohmy.blogspot.com : ) Sorry, don't mean to spam.. just y'know.. ; )
