A case for eggs

My son will kill me when he sees this but oh well.  :)  When we lived in AZ our twins were about 3 years old.  One of them was very very active.  He loved to climb everything (door frames, kitchen appliances, etc.) jumped from heights (5 stitches inside his mouth the first day of preschool), no fear of water (jumped into the diving end of the pool even though he had no idea how to swim) and had an interesting fascination with eggs.  He loved the feel of the egg and his favorite activity was taking a case of eggs, going to the back room and throwing the eggs at the wall.  We would discover broken eggs and egg shells covering walls and carpet at least 2 times per week over about a 6 month period.  I never knew what started this behavior or why he seemed to enjoy it so much, I just happy when it passed. 

From that time my son was not an egg fanatic, but he has always loved eggs for breakfast and sometimes for dinner.  Eggs can freak the new cook out.  How long do you cook them, how do you flip an omelet, why does my egg stick to my pan?  Here is a great link for all things eggs that answers many of those questions.  http://whatscookingamerica.net/eggs.htm

You can find a lot of special kitchen gadgets/cookware for eggs.  They tend to be expensive and job specific.  For eggs you can usually use the regular pots and pans you already have.  If you are not into eggs because of taste or texture, they great thing about eggs is that their is such a variety of ways to prepare, season and serve.  The main tip here is to jump in and try new things with eggs.  I know I was surprised with all of the new things I didn't know about eggs.  They are also an easy meal to make when you need something fast, filling and nutritious.
