Separating egg whites

They make a special kind of spoon for it that looks like it should do the trick, but I've never used it.
I was taught to do it as a child and have had a lot of practice, so I can't say that my way it the easiest way, but...
Gently crack the egg over a clean bowl. Turn the egg on one end and take off the "top." Most of the white will gush out at this point, so make sure you have it over the bowl and have it tilted slightly to one side so that you don't get too much of it on your hand. Very gently pour the egg yolk back and forth between the two shell halves, being careful not to catch the yolk on the jagged edges and keeping the egg over the bowl. The white will separate out and drip into the bowl. Continue this until all the white is in the bowl. If you should happen to break the yolk, immediately stop the process and pour the yolk into a separate bowl from white.
It's ok for most recipes calling for yolk only to have a little bit of white, so if you got most of the white off before breaking the yolk, you should be fine. It is NOT ok for recipes calling for whites only to have a little yolk in them, so make sure if you break the yolk, you immediately stop trying to separate the white out because the yolk will get mixed in.

Or punch a hole in both ends of the egg and BLOW!! After a hundred eggs or so you should be able to remove JUST the whites..

They call me ... Sarcasmo
Wifey already purchased a dozen fresh eggs so I gotta use them up first. Next time I'll do that though. What I need to do is try remember to eat breakfast everyday, hard to do with my schedule.
She found some burgers for me to try, black bean and chipotle (veggie) burgers. I'll give a review after this weekend, I may throw one on the grill.
I'm trying to get rid of the merengue thats around my waist.

THOSE are absolutely great!
A tip: try not to think of those as "burgers" - they're not even close. If you think of it as just a different type of bun filler, a veggie patty instead of a burger, you'll like it better.
