Egg Fried Rice money fasting eggs soy sauce sesame oil

When Jimmy bought home a dozen 
eggs
for a dollar I asked him how that was even possible. It was on sale he said. But I just couldn't imagine how eggs could be that cheap. Like I mean how can anybody make money off selling eggs, for a dozen a dollar?

But apparently things on sale don't actually make any 
money
. They're just sold to make room. In this case for more eggs.

Lately I had been into 
fasting
. Not for the health benefits but for the cost saving ones. I was wondering what the least amount of food I could eat was without negatively impacting my health. I also wondered what the least amount was I could get away with without dying.

That night Jimmy and I made fried rice with eight of the eggs. We were quite hungry and he had a good way with sauces. He made this good mixture of
soy sauce
and
sesame oil
 that I could never quite copy. But mixing that sauce with rice and eggs always made for a good meal. It was one of our go-tos on nights like this.

And just like that two thirds of them were gone already.


The cheapest eggs are also the least healthy (for you and the chickens). #pasturedeggs

Hell yeah i hate those white shelled ones with the wimpy yolks. I agree with you but my character in this story is super poor and can't afford that.
