growing pains... organic eggs... and other food realities.

if not now,... when!?
i haven't become a disciple overnight... no!
it took a while...

The Germans have an incredible arsenal of 'sayings' as we call it at home... 'Sprüche' i think is the correct word... no f.... wonder (!) just check this out... not only is this (or was?) the country of poets and 'thinkers', translated directly from 'Dichter & Denker' but .... wait!!!
one second i must cut my million dollar fudge...(with pistatian nuts...and vanilla!!!)

I'm back! just got there in time, otherwise i would have needed surgical equiptment... if you have ever made fudge, you will know what i mean!

That's the 'Leitfaden'... getting the point! But before I continue... the 'Spruch'!: 'Dumm fickt gut!' I can imagine you maybe knowing one word from this quote... the f-word!? The meaning behind the saying, directly translated... 'Stupid fucks well!' is another story...

To come to the point; I had been ignorent to the whole organic thing... venturing into the homegrown territory only by accident... but eventually even the blind shall see and the deaf... what can one expect from someone who had grown up on Coke, Slapchips (Pommes!), Burgers, Braai (Barbeque)... Simba Chips, Bar One's ( a chocolate!)... Crunchies (a better chocolate)... Flake (another chocolate) in a Soft Serve.... ect. Real Food were 'Koeksusters' (sehr süss Hefeteig fritierte Zucker Guss Yum-Yum )... or 'Vetkoek' (Dough Dumplings (fried in a lotta oil...) Whatever, anyway!!!

After starting to cook on a semi-professional level I realised the presence of good, bad and ugly quality available in products... it initially seemed to be a price profit issue which determined the ingredients i worked with... but it wasn't... it was just being stupid, ignorent...
'Soooooooo...?', as most waitresses say when delivering an item... any item, including the bill... I had to take the long road home... but i have arrived. I'm not quite home yet... but I'm at the frontdoor, I've rung the bell... and I hear footsteps...

Where did eggs come into the equation?
Oh, right... it something from youtube, check it out, I'm a recognised cynic, but it put a smile on my dial... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWad76Ipyuw

What I actually wanted to say... was...
If you had to ask me why one should tune a guitar string up and never down... I wouldn't be surprised...
and if you had to google the following text:

'I heard there was a secret chord 
that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music,... do you?
It goes like this the fourth, the fith
the minor fall, the major lift...
The baffled king composing hallelujah'

... to determine the author... I wouldn't flinch... (if you did not know...)
but if you had to ask me why I buy 99.9% organic... the answer would be:

1. I haven't a clue...
2. It's about respect...
3. It's better quality...
4. It's honest... and the only way to go!
5. I taste and feel the difference...
6. I wouldn't want to make a living in the food business any other way...

Sooooo, take your time... come in and find out! It is another world... a better one! Believe me, I'm a Food Junkie...
