Ingredients:

Eggs. Fifty of 'em.

Paul Newman has died. In his honor, I believe Predicate should eat fifty eggs. So post how many you've eaten, how they were cooked, etc. since you heard the news, and we'll see how soon we can get to the magic number.

Two soft-boiled eggs on Saturday morning. I had half an egg on my salad today, but I'm not sure that should count...

Am I closing it out?

Submitted by MandaX on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 9:21pm.

A major protein craving, plus taking a look at the date on the damned things and realizing they had to be used posthaste, caused me to eat six in what was meant to be an omelet, but turned out to be just fancy scrambled eggs with seafood and onions.

Does that bring us to 50, or are we still quibbling over the inclusion of eggs in things like cookies?

We are still open for business.

Not over my dead body will we be counting eggs that aren't eaten as eggs.

Omelet, frittata, or eggs unadorned. Those are your qualifying foodstuffs. No baked goods or batters or suchlike bosh need apply.

With that in mind, we currently stand at 40 eggs.

You heard me.

I differ somewhat...

I would accept eggs as ingredients if you count the portion of eggs that the Predicator ate. So, say Spaghetti Carbonara used 4 eggs, you ate half, you could count two eggs. But if you made a batch of cookies, used one egg, made 36 cookies, and ate two of them, you only ate 1/18th of an egg. That's not worth counting.
So, I would say a foodstuff counts if it has a sufficent amount of eggs that the portion you actually ate contains at least one whole egg. And eggs eaten by non-Predicators shouldn't count. (i.e. I'm not counting eggs eaten by my kids, husband or dogs.)
