This sales rep sucks eggs.

No, this isn't a trash-the-sales-rep blog entry. In fact, Cherry has become one of my favorite reps, partly because she hooked us up with last year's visit from Louisa Harding, and partly because she has nice taste, and mostly because her yarns rock.

This blog is about Cherry's new raw food lifestyle. At our last meeting, she was telling me all about it and I was feeling tempted to convert - until we got to the part about how she gets enough, um, protein.

She eats eggs. Raw. And not in some fancy-schmancy smoothie or anything. She sucks them right out of the shell, wholeheartedly embracing the possibility of salmonella, which "our bodies are full of anyway."

She has her technique down to a science, and generously let me record it for posterity. So, if you're interested in trying it, here is a handy step-by-step guide.

Warning: These pictures are not for the squeamish. If that's you, skip ahead to the next blog entry, which is all about nice, pretty yarns.

Step 1: Crack one end of the egg on your sharpest canine.

Step 2: Turn egg upside-down, and repeat.

Step 3: Suck egg. Resist natural gag reflex.

Step 4: Make sure you extract all the natural goodness.

Step 5: Admire your own efficiency.

Step 6: Repeat 8-10 times daily, or until you begin to make uncontrollable "bok-BOK!" sounds:

the egg tooth is interesting, but unnecessary............suggest you use a church key, feed the raw eggs to the cat, and observe a shiny coat and a happy cat.

I have a friend who does this.... It reminds me of the Kids in the Hall character, The Chicken Lady... "Out of my body and onto your plate."
