We want yours. We are waiting to upload it. Send it. Send it.

We love the beauty of sauces we don’t know how to make ourselves. The wonderfully clean and simple presentation of the Chinese food box. And the protein found in an egg. Do you?

A San José, CA reader suggested this nifty recipe for reusing extra rice:

1. Take your extra rice (sticky rice is ideal) and form tablespoon-sized orbs, using a little warm water to mold them
2. For extra flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds on them, or better yet, roll them in sesame seeds
3. Dip them into soy sauce from your extra packets
4. Voila: rice orbs thanks to San Jo!

Sent from a Brooklynite with a mobile phone cam. She saves dijon mustard packs from deli takeout but the packs sit unused for ages, she said, hardly competing with her mustard jars. She was relieved to find a use for them, and added that mustard goes naturally with eggs.

This box makes sense: smaller than a cup of coffee, but enough to fuel a vegetable and tofu dish. At the top of our to-do list is researching drop-off points for boxes.

On December 25, we packed the first batch of Egg in a Box containers and took to the streets of Manhattan to distribute them. Our initial foray into the streets with boxes was met with a resounding “Yeah!” from our first recipient when we told him what goodness the package contained. Here’s what the boxes looked like:

About the Sisters

egginabox — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 15:03:42 +0000

The older sister studied creative writing in the Midwest. She brings a professional omelette of teacher, writer, and editor to Egg in a Box. She feels at home in the art studio and anywhere where Cadbury eggs may be found.

The younger sister studies folklore in the Midwest. Her professional background consists of cultural research, travel, and editing. She is also an experienced potter, scrambling clay and glaze in her journeys.

Both sisters are huge fans of Chinese food takeout and diner breakfasts. They hope that conservation will become as creative as thinking inside the box—because there’s nothing wrong with that!

Happy holidays, everyone, and happy holiday spirit. We just got broccoli and tofu in brown sauce, and a small rice with it for dinner tonight, and we’ll let you know what happens with our leftovers.

Have you heard about FreeRice.com? It’s been circulating widely.

The South China Morning Post reported on October 1 that “Less Money Save Rice” day will give diners the option of a less expensive meal if they opt for less rice! And that means less wasted rice.

Got a good idea on the topic of spices?

Extra soy sauce packets are natural go-to items for your box, but we’ve also experimented with extra Indian food sauces (and ketchup), like the ones here:
