Random Bites in June

I read an article on Serious Eats about a person getting 12 double yolks in a carton of Trader Joe's eggs! I have never had that good fortune, and I eat eggs everyday of my life.

I read the comments and many people said that if you buy JUMBO eggs, it is not uncommon to get a double yolk.
I usually buy extra large eggs.

Well, I accidentally purchased JUMBO eggs at my market, and there they were! A double yolk! I felt so lucky!




With all the Hamptons rhubarb I bought this month I made a rhubarb cobbler, same recipe as my little individual rhubarb cakes, though in a bigger pan this time, and I increased the rhubarb cooking liquid and added buttermilk. YUM!






I finally made dinner with the complimentary Buitoni Riserva Mushroom Agnolotti that I received.
I lied to the husband and told him they were stuffed with sausage (SHHHHH, he HATES mushrooms).



They were SO DELICIOUS, and I am not getting paid to say that!
I am not a stuffed pasta lover, and I LOVED these!

I made a simple pan sauce by frying some sage leaves from my garden in butter and adding some sea salt at the end.
Served with a salad, this wins the 2 E's award. Easy and Excellent.

My husband detected the mushrooms, though he did eat it, he didn't like being tricked.

As I write, the rasberry buttermilk cake you posted is cooling. You were right, it's easy as can be. I used olallieberries, since I have a LOT of them. As for this cobbler...oh yeah! I've tricked my son, before. I feel a bit of sly satisfaction, but he doesn't like my joke at all. You're the one who opened my eyes to fried sage. So good!

I am a fan of the Buitoni Mushroom Agnolotti too. Your sauce sounds perfect.
Lucky you on the double yolks, I can't believe it is that common in the Jumbos, go figure!

pretty funky thing, the 'twin'yolk thing. The girls, however, said "EWWWW!!!!
Love ya
those pastas are so good arent they - the cheese and all stifles out the mushroom a little - but if you dont like them you can tell...
Does the double yolk mean that you should play the lotto this week? I like the husband trickery - sometimes it's necessary since we know them better than they know themselves. :)

Oh you are sneaky with the mushrooms!

Funny I just saw that mushroom pasta this weekend. I think they will make a quick week night meal.

Oh no way. That yolk thing happened to me too, very shortly after that post on SE. And mine weren't jumbo! I read up on how it happens though and I at least wasn't worried about them being bad... more yolk = yum.

And I LOVED that agnolotti. I almost bought more yesterday. An absolutely delicious packaged meal, which is such an anomaly. The fried sage must have matched the mushrooms perfectly too.
