wasn't bad. Ny tighten up on eggs and cooking. I like mine up and they get crazy over temps too.

However, the resurgence of eggs as a cocktail ingredient has been met with stiff resistance from governmental food agencies. The Pegu Club, a high-end cocktail hangout in Manhattan, was recently hit with an infraction serious enough to warrant a court appearance.

The New York City Health Department cited the club for serving its special Earl Gray MarTEAni, a drink containing raw egg white, without telling the customer who ordered it that it contained raw egg.

* note because of Rick Santorumn I gave up searching for the stuff that makes drink foam.
