Oh gawd yes... unfortunately, the corporate world is FULL of them - it's rewarded.

Society in general.

yes they are. i became confused as to how to easily chop the head off the egg, because i tapped it with the knife as i usually do with chickens eggs, and nothing happened. i tapped it progressively harder and still nothing happened. i finally had to lay the eggs down on a paper towel and vigorously strike the egg with the knife before i breached the shell.


i have no scales to measure weight , so i filled a cup with water and placed the cup in a cake tin and depressed a chicken egg into it, and the chickens egg displaced 55 ml of water which would equate to about 65 grams in mass (considering a chickens egg does not float and so it's specific gravity is greater than that of water (i do not want to go into agonizing detail about the specific gravity of eggs)). the duck egg displaced 80 ml of water which means they weigh about 95 grams each.
i figured that if perfectly boiled chicken eggs take 200 seconds to cook in boiling water, then 95/65*220 (5 mins and 20 seconds approx) was the amount of time to boil them but i was incorrect.

they have a much larger yolk to albumen ratio than chickens eggs do. the eggs i bought seem to be insipid in their yolk color, but i am not sure if the color of the yolks was influenced by the fact that they were completely hard.
yes i did.
i have another way of eating eggs sometimes when i am feeling like a mid meal snack. sometimes i boil 3 or 4 eggs to a state of hardness, and i eat them with butter. what i do is cut the top of the egg off, and i dig my knife into the hardened yolk, then i cut a stick of butter and slide it into the gash (still hot) i made in the yolk. the butter melts and then i spoon out the hardened yolk steeped in butter and it is very nice indeed. i did this with the hard boiled duck eggs and they tasted far richer than normal chickens eggs. i do not bother eating the albumen with any egg.

i did not cook any of the duck eggs today because when i got up, i noticed that the fridge door was slightly ajar, and my thermometer that i have in the fridge (that i always check before using any of the fridges contents) showed 7 degrees celsius, and as a result, i had to discard the chocolate milk i had stored to drink after breakfast. i absolutely must drink chocolate milk after eating my eggs, so eggs were out of the question today.

i must contact the fridge seal fellow who repaired my seals a few months ago soon to report that the magnets in the seals are not strong enough to ensure a tight seal.

life is always littered with dilemmas.

they are very hard to find.
it seems that there is no specific market for them. i asked the the butcher that i bought them from how long to cook them and he said "i've got no f****n' idea mate. i've never cooked a duck egg in my life". i did not like him much, and i felt like saying "well considering that you do not seem to have a life, it is no surprise that you never cooked a ducks egg in it".

i have not yet eaten runny duck egg yolk, and so i will report more when i get more experience.

Blip.tv is now being a b***h to everyone who has ad-blocker and tries to watch a video.

I have a headache.

My mom rolled her eyes at the phone when the neighbor called this morning.

My team lost today, see we're going to be paired up with the team that sent me to the hospital for the final game.

My coach is thinking about forfeiting the playoffs so that no one gets injured like I did. I'm still feeling the effects of it and it's only been two weeks.

Oh, and my nose is running.

My neighbors bought their kid a drum set. Our buildings are so close together that the noise is reverberating and making me feel I'm under attack. (It kind of sounds like bombs going off).

As I go through this thing called life I relies I don't fit in anywhere. my goodness, finding company with people that are not easily offended, or what is the word I am looking for? I mean well I just don't know what to do anymore.

Might want to drop a note in their mailbox saying how loud it is... they can return it to the store and get ELECTRONIC drums... ones you can control the volume or even use earphones!

Makayla isn't feeling well enough to Skype ;-;

The cat didn't get me a Mother's Day present.

Realising that I still can t afford a new bed yet and that im down to my last half a chocolate bar

My parents.
