Here's one more New Year's resolution we all may want to consider. Everybody put on your best apron, raise your right arm high and repeat after the little lady at the left:I'll always make my cup custards with FINE EGGS!
They don't have to be perfect eggs, just - fine. But how do you know if your eggs are fine? The answer that springs to mind is simply to ask them how they are. The polite egg will always say: oh, I'm fine, how are you? And that is how you know.
Also, make sure that you are fine as well, before attempting to make custard. And if everything and everyone is fine, then go ahead. Oh, it's going to be a great year, 2010. It'll be our year for getting things done! And what are we going to do? We will, of course, be making many, many cup custards.
Which brings to mind another resolution: buy custard cups, immediately. And we'll all sing:
Should older eggs just be forgot
When dessert time comes to mind?
We'll make a cup of custard yet
'Cause I'm sure those eggs are fine.

Very nice poem!!
I guess we should just keep singing Ol' Eggs Syne, eh?
The lyrics are fine.
Actually, they are great!
SOOO disappointing. Our eggs claim they are feeling under the weather. No custard for me.
You should write rhymes for Snoop Dogg!
Barbara - Yes, absolutely. New custards for old eggs!
vanilla - Happy New Year!
Tori - I think our eggs are asleep. They look it.
wngl - Ah, but I suspect that he would not find me amusing, nor I him ;)
That is cute! happy new year! :O)
old eggs = new case of salmonella!
I'm craving custard now.
destrella - All the best to you, too!
heidi - I wonder what thousand year old eggs would be like? Would it then be thousand year old custard? Some things, of course, are best left as rhetorical questions.
Hairball - As long as someone else (not me!) is making it, yes, me too ;)
So, your eggs are fine. That's great and how are you? Hope you had a great holiday. Now I'm off to make custard...if my eggs say they are fine and not just "Okay".
Hi Lidian dear, thank you so very much for your wonderfully kind comments recently (and throughout 2009), they mean a tremendous amount to me.
I truly hope that your year is off to a sparklingly fantastic start, and that each the days that follows will continually be even more amazing for you than the last!
Immensely big hugs & endless joyful wishes,
