Yesterday I upgraded from Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 (KDE), and of course the NVIDIA

drivers were removed. Using the instructions above effortlessly installed the

driver (currently version 570). :-)

My family has a long-running tradition of producing pickled eggs for Easter
|
|
||||||
breakfast. We call these "Soleier" which is a composite of "Sole" (brine) and
|
|
||||||
"Eier" (eggs). Varous theories exist how pickled eggs came into existence, and
|
|
||||||
there are various ways to relish these eggs. As for the theories, the reader is
|
|
||||||
kindly referred to the [Wikipedia article][pickled eggs]
|
|
||||||
(also [in German][Soleier]).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As for the recipe and the way we eat pickled eggs in my family: read on.

## How many eggs?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
How many eggs you want to prepare depends on the number of people who want to
|
|
||||||
eat the pickled eggs, the number of days you want to have them for breakfast (or
|
|
||||||
any other meal to your liking) and last, but not least, what size of jar you
|
|
||||||
have to prepare them in.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
My 1.5 L [Weck jar][] holds 13 medium-sized eggs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Typically an adult will have 2 of those eggs for breakfast. With 13 eggs, this
|
|
||||||
leaves one spare egg (and toast), but there's usually a kid or two who doesn't
|
|
||||||
eat these eggs in pairs (if at all).

## Recipe
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Ingredients and materials
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This recipe is for 13 eggs and a 1.5 L jar.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- 13 eggs
|
|
||||||
- 0.75 L water
|
|
||||||
- 50 g salt
|
|
||||||
- 1-2 tablespoons of caraway seeds (if you like)
|
|
||||||
- 1.5 L [Weck jar][] (doesn't need to be original Weck brand, of course, but must be sealed tight)
|
|
||||||
- 13 slices of toast
|
|
||||||
- butter
|
|
||||||
- oil, e.g. rapeseed oil, to your liking
|
|
||||||
- vinegar, e.g. any herb-flavored variant, to your liking
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Directions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You should prepare the pickled eggs a few days before you want to eat them. In
|
|
||||||
my family we typically do this 7 days before Easter, i.e. on Palm Sunday.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Boil the eggs so they get hard. I usually place the eggs in a pot, cover them
|
|
||||||
with water, and then slowly heat the water until it boils. Let it boil until
|
|
||||||
10 minutes have passed since the eggs were placed on the stove. Your mileage
|
|
||||||
may vary depending on your stove.
|
|
||||||
2. Pour out the hot water and shock the eggs with cold tap water.
|
|
||||||
3. Place the eggs into the jar using a clean spoon (not your hands!). I usually
|
|
||||||
let them drop into the jar so they get nice little cracks, this makes for
|
|
||||||
beautiful texture inside the eggs (see image).
|
|
||||||
4. Add the salt and caraway seeds to the jar.
|
|
||||||
5. Bring the water to boiling and pour it over the eggs in the jar.
|
|
||||||
6. Close the jar.
|
|
||||||
7. Invert the jar a couple of times (you may want to wear gloves while doing
|
|
||||||
this, the jar is hot!).
|
|
||||||
8. Store the jar in a cool place -- in our house, this is usually the basement.
|

## How to eat Soleier
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There seem to be two fundamentally different ways to eat a _Solei_.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Our way of eating Soleier
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
My family's tradition is to peel two eggs, place them on a dish, cut them into
|
|
||||||
pieces, then pour some oil and vinegar over the pieces and mash the eggs with a
|
|
||||||
fork. This leaves an ugly mess on the plate and I will update this post with a
|
|
||||||
picture of this year's appearance.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Brown two slices of toast, spread butter on them, and eat the _Solei_ mash/mess
|
|
||||||
using a fork while intermittently taking a bite from the bread.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### The more sophisticated way to eat Soleier
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is an alternative way to have your pickled eggs that supposedly is less
|
|
||||||
messy. The [German Wikipedia article][Soleier] claims it's the 'proper' or let's
|
|
||||||
say usual way to eat these eggs. I tried it once and I was totally unhappy with
|
|
||||||
the experience, so I stick with our traditional way.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Peel two eggs, cut the eggs into halves, remove the egg yolk and mash the egg
|
|
||||||
yolk with oil and vinegar. Transfer the mashed egg yolk back into the eggs. I
|
|
||||||
will look slightly less ugly, but I promise you will have a hard time getting
|
|
||||||
all the egg yolk--oil--vinegar mixture back into the eggs, the plate will look
|
|
||||||
like someone's been having _Soleier_ the traditional way, and when trying to put
|
|
||||||
the egg halves into your mouth, be prepared for everyone else who sits at the
|
|
||||||
table with you bursting into spontaneous laughter. At least that's what happened
|
|
||||||
to me one time... ;-)
