It's equal parts adorable and maddening, which is exactly the kind of energy I vibe with. But here's the thing: these tiny treasures are worth the hunt. They're rich, cute, and somehow make any dish feel egg-stra special.

Day five rolls around, and while dear old dad is squawking about "wasted time," those little embryos are throwing a party. All but one are showing veins and movement. Who's stupid now, Dad? Hand over that ten bucks! It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the best things come from the most unexpected (and slightly sketchy) places.
