Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Your support makes all the difference.Hard to believe that a boiled egg covered in mayonnaise used to be offered as a starter in restaurants. But then so did a glass of tomato juice.
Hard to believe that a boiled egg covered in mayonnaise used to be offered as a starter in restaurants. But then so did a glass of tomato juice. I'm not suggesting you revive the tomato juice idea, but properly made egg mayonnaise isn't as boring as it sounds. Give it a twist with different eggs - quails', ducks' as well as all sorts of varieties of hens' eggs are available. I even bought turkey eggs the other day.
For modern egg mayonnaise, boil duck or hens' eggs for 5-6 minutes in boiling water and transfer to a pan of cold water with a slotted spoon. Quails' eggs take 2-3 minutes in boiling water. Peel and half them or just leave them whole. Serve them on a mixture of watercress and mustard, or some healthy salad leaves, and simply spoon out some homemade or good quality bought mayonnaise. Dust with paprika or cayenne pepper.
