    Man the bioavailability of protein in egg is excellent too. Decent price for a really nutritious meal. Thi reminds me of Bilbo Baggins trying to out riddle Gollum in The Hobbit.

    There’s something beautiful about calling ordinary things “gold.” Feels like you’re already starting the day grateful. ✨
