Pickle progress

[fattest]

Ok, so I'm fascinated with the pickled egg concept. So I'm trying it. I've still never had one!

These will be ready in a month.

sounds from yum...
gonna do the red ones? (with beets?)

[fattest]

Perhaps. Especially if I actually like these!

I'm reading a great book that mentions 1000 year old eggs. I'm scared but I wanted to try one.

[fattest]

Here's a recipe.

Probably easier to get one in a store or restaurant, eh?

they aren't that scary, mostly a sharply piquant saltiness. go to chinatown and get some congee with lean pork and thousand year old egg (ji dan shou rou zhou).

There was a place in NY's Chinatown that S* and I saw that seemed to specialize in congee (maybe there's more than one, but this seemed to be the go-to place.) We didn't try it at the time, but I'm gonna go back there and give it a whirl. I'll report back! :)
