So the egg sighting event I mentioned last week has started at a cracking pace, with Dublin landmarks playing host to just over eight dozen sizeable eggs. Each egg has been decorated by an artist, or would be artist celebrity, or should that read, would be celebrity artist, well never mind all that. Each of the hundred individuals chosen have stamped an egg (what a messy picture that brings to mind eh?) with their own personal brand, theme, message, vision, whatever, in a myriad of wonderful colours, materials and techniques.

A pity that it's not possible to see the eggs from all angles on the website but maybe soon!
I particularly like Paulo Tulio's  tiled piece. Unlike Rasher, who's egg is distinctly hard boiled and sliced, Paulo's mosaic manages to play with the perfect iconic oval shape without actually changing it. I am constantly drawn to the shape which appears slightly off kilter. Perhaps it's his use of neg(g)ative space.

Of course the really important thing is that it's all done to benefit the Jack and Jill  foundation one of our favourite charities. One hundred no less, of these unusual and beautiful eggs will be placed in different significant locations around Dublin. You can take part in the Big Egg Hunt and let us know how you get on.

Word has it that Applegreen have sponsored an egg. No-one but no-one will tell me which one or where it is, so any help in that direction would be greatly appreciated. Should you spot an egg with the words "low fuel prices always", "now that's better" or any other markings or indications that it might indeed be the Applegreen sponsored egg, don't hesitate to contact me.  For instance it may be posing as the best looking egg in town or even acting like it belongs to the coolest forecourt operators around. Eggs can get carried away you know and they do tend to dream,  probably about other eggs. Yes eggs dream!
It may be that my last post's recipe for Eggs Benedict had something to do with the Pope's decision to retire, but somehow I doubt it. Anyhow I have decided to feature another egg recipe which I hold in high esteem but is rather humble in origin, as this time I would prefer not to influence world events. This time it's a souffle, and as we say down on the chicken farm  it's a cracker. Try it
