Toiled and Troubled Egg

I boiled some fresh eggs that we get from a local farmer. Something terrible happened to this one. I don't know quite what to think.

After boiling the eggs for precisely 11 minutes, I dropped them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Even in the boiling pan I could see that there was something not right about this egg.

I recon we could scrape that part off, but I still say that something ain't right. My boiled egg has a growth. Like it was trying to sprout a set of teeth. Or give birth to Casper, the Friendly Ghost or something. 

We'll still use the boiled eggs, probably even use this one. But, I'm keeping it in a separate bowl in the refrigerator, just in case. I don't really want it to influence the others.

Fresh Basil and an Artisan Glass

I was a little upset with myself for harvesting so much more basil than I was actually going to use. Then I remembered that I have artisan-made glasses. This should keep in the refrigerator for a while. And, it should make a nice submission for Random Photo Day.

Rebirth

Early spring and abundant rain is bringing new growth of our Esperanza bush. I thought it woudl be appropriate for a Random Photo Day. Also, my cat, Anastasia, had to be in the photo. She's in the background, on the right-hand side. White with Black.
