...fish. In his introduction on the lore of the egg, McGee writes that at one point in history, eggs existed before chickens. He hastens to explain that by egg he refers to the specialized container of the ovum of early organisms that predated all birds by millions of years. Pleasant rambling through history makes good reading, but the author's practical information is more illuminating. For instance, beaten egg whites are important to cakes and soufflés because they hold air that expands as it heats. Yolks, which hold only small amounts of air when beaten, are primarily binders...
...ordinariness of the city that creates the sense of loss; what a normally pleasant city Hiroshima was before the bombing, what a normally pleasant city it is today. On any summer morning, the Hiroshima Carp take infield practice in the baseball stadium; fashionably dressed young men and women walk purposefully to work; traffic builds on the city's bridges. If you would picture the layout of the center of Hiroshima, which covers much of the ground of Kawamoto's story, place your right hand palm down on a flat surface with your fingers spread wide.

It suggested a sort of ragged solidarity, like that of a low-budget revolutionary army. It was pleasant to think of people wearing green all over America, a huge organic flash mob; it was pleasant to think of millions of people waking up and rifling through their closets to find something green to wear...
...don’t think, though, that he understood; it was difficult to convey the idea of a sober, purely religious holiday, when we are so accustomed to secular ones. And I guess I could see where he was coming from: it’s pleasant to imagine Costa Ricans heading, en masse, to the beach, pleasant to think that you could arrive at a place and find a celebration underway, everyone, by mutual, tacit consent, already having a good time, all together, drinking, wearing the same color, happy...
