| Normally I'm good with cooking... meat - not veggies. Simple straight forward stuff. The variety of combinations that you can do with Salt, Pepper, Soy Sauce, Soy Paste, Lemon/Lime, Garlic, Oyster Sauce or Sugar... whatever.
So... my mom had a bunch of random veggies in the fridge before she left for China and was like, "Uh - either eat it somehow, or give it to Deb/Mike." She left Napa, Carrots, and ... purple cabbage. I cooked the Napa - decent. I always never add enough salt... and I didn't cut the pieces that small, so just imagine like... 2 inch by 2 inch chunks of napa... haha. 
But then came the carrots and the purple cabbage... what the heck can I do with this? Hmmm - let's try stir fry with egg. All was going kind of well, I figured out how to chop them up decently well (yes I cleaned 'em and peeled them as needed). I don't know why, but I thought to soak the cabbage in water... and when I poured out the water... it was... BLUE! I was thinking, "Huh... that's ... interesting..."
Started out with cooking the carrots first cuz they are thicker and need some more time to soften up. Then I cooked the purple cabbage... noticed it leaked some water. ... some... purplish water... and added it to the carrots. Oh - and by now I ALSO realized that... 1 small purple cabbage about 3 inch radius, and... um... 7 carrots... is a LOT to cook - b/c the big dish that I was holding it... couldn't hold it all.
So anyway, I digress. So then I get to the eggs, scramble them, till it's not runny anymore... and then I realized. 6 eggs is NOT enough eggs for 7 carrots and 1 purple cabbage. Contemplated about making more, but thought, "Oh, I'll save the other half-dozen for later." So I added 1/2 of the carrot/purple cabbage-stir fry, and then ended saving half for "future use."
And as I was mixing it together... I realized... "aw crap... the eggs are turning... blueish-purple!!!!! EWWWW!"  ... and then I just started laughing at/to myself... a lot.
So yeah... I've been eating some purple eggs. No green eggs & ham... just purple eggs and... carrots and... purple cabbage... and rice... all week (and this is only the FIRST half...)
I'd take a picture, but... I'm too ashamed of it. But not ashamed enough to not eat it - b/c as mommy always used to say, "Bu iaw lahng fei" (yes incorrect ping-ying - leavemealone - i have to deal with purple eggs... for probably 2 weeks.

| So normally I don't post things like this where I'm asking people to take action... but when it comes to personal sanctification and my desire for purity and holiness (not just for me but for those I love as well)... if you feel moved to "take action" on this - thanks. :)
P.S. It seems the webpage to send an email is being overloaded - so definitely keep trying until it goes through. Thanks!
