15 July 2006

we got this thing from a friend, who got it from who knows where. It squashes hard boiled eggs into a cube shape. Well, it tries to, anyway.

Riddle me this, though: Why would anyone want a cubed egg?

Oh, and here are some photos from the recent Chicago MeCha meetup; eamondaly, we need that whiskey slushie recipe.

The square shape would keep deviled eggs from sliding all over the plate? Mebbe? Huh?

The egg slices fit better on a piece of bread?

I have no idea what eamondaly's tasted like, but I've made this bourbon slush a few times and it's always a huge hit. I get lots of emails asking for the recipe.

That looks about like what eamon's tasted like. Definitely citrusy.

Man, that is fuckin' weird. I guess you could store them easier, or something? Like, stack them in the fridge?

They wouldn't roll around on your plate. Maybe you wouldn't need an egg cup. If you put them in an egg slicer all your slices would be the same size.

You guys were so drunk when I got back to Eamon's! I wish I'd been there for the whole thing.

Sort of Martha Stewart meets Salvador Dali. I love it.

I want one just so I can charge people to see my square chickens.

I've kept my supply up by purchasing them at my local "World Market", but I just looked online and they don't sell them there. Gosh...I hope they still stock them in the stores - yikes!


No fear, a quick google search for egg cuber reveals dozen of stores selling them.

I pity the fool hen.
*runs about hysterically* "I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' cubies, Mizz Pullet!"

I like the "quote" on the box.

I determined I need to get one of those.
When we have our first wine-and-cheese at the new place I want to set out a plate of square deviled eggs and see if anyone asks.

Unfortunately, kellydammit, the yolks are pretty badly deformed by the cubing process. But it would be fun.
