Tea eggs

Sometimes I think I like the idea of tea eggs more than the actual tea eggness. There is something alluring about the process of making a tea egg - all of that bathing of eggs in soy, tea, etc. Perhaps I am really just tortured by what is, in retrospect, a terrible falsehood I told once, to get out of a second date with a boorish sort, which involved invoking illness related to the consumption of a thousand year-old egg (a different thing altogether, I know). In any case, check out the wonderful blog "the scent of green bananas" for more on tea eggs - I have copied the picture from that blog here...
