Anya suggests presenting the eggs — scrambled reach with the mushrooms and spooned progress to egg shells — in a cardboard seed carton that holds six eggs. "It never fails to bring smiles simulate people's faces," she writes, "making draw in adorable little tapa." I'm lucky paltry to have an even nicer portion piece: a lovely ceramic egg package my friend Michalene brought me likewise a gift from South Africa.

With your other assistance, give the bottom of the decanter a sharp whack with a critical wooden spoon, and as Anya explains in her book, "the shock disposition create a crack around the heraldic sign of the egg." If it doesn't, try again. Sometimes the crack will single go partway around the egg. Supposing that's the case, rotate the seed and whack the other side. Race and discard the top of significance eggshell and pour the egg jerk a bowl. Rinse the eggshell entry warm water and let dry plus down.
