That's a bowl of soba noodles with sliced leftover steak, egg, and
onion.

Looks good - but at midnight?? I'd toss and turn for sure!

I slept quite well. Maybe it was the sambal and nuoc mam on the
noodles?

That looks delicious. :-)

Nice color on the yolk! Is that a free range egg?

I see you have red bowls to match the red plates, but it actually works
with those food colors...

Yes. We buy them from a local farm family. Buck fifty a dozen,
delivered. It's amazing what eating grasshoppers and crickets and
whatever does for laying hens.

I got red coffee cups, too. The odd thing about the whole bunch of
them is the way they behave in the microwave. They get much hotter
than any other dishes I own. I have no idea why.

From what I found with my own birds, it's more the greens than the bugs.
:-) When I finally had to pen them due to predation (and damage to
garden beds), I found that supplementing them with LOTS of green feeds
kept the rich color and flavor in the yolks. Rabbit pellets added to the
feed ration at the rate of 1 part to 2 parts layer ration did the trick.

There is probably a metallic pigment to the glaze/color.
That will do it.

Yep,I believe it's the carotenoids in the greens giving the colour to the
yolks.

As well as boosting their nutritional value!

Many a year ago I read that red paint on cars fades faster than other
colors because certain wavelengths of the solar spectrum excite molecules
in red pigments more than others, causing them to degrade faster.
Maybe something like that?

On the other hand, the frequencies in a microwave are far different.
NEVER MIND...

Well it's gotta be some molecule or another in either the glaze or the
clay body that is excited by microwave radiation to a larger degree
than in other dinner ware.
