Tempering is to keep the egg from cooking when introduced to hot liquid. A little bit introduced at a time brings the eggs up to the same temperature, slowly, so that the egg won't curdle when added to the rest of the hot liquid (think egg drop soup, where it's done intentionally.) Adding more of the liquid to the egg is not bad that I know of.

That's the sort of thing people wear mouthguards to prevent, maybe try an OTC one of those?

Yeah, if it doesn't stop, I'll get one for sure. It just started this week when Tim was in the hospital, so I'm hoping it was just a reaction to that, and now that it's over, it'll stop.

Putting a roll pillow or rolled towel under your neck helps with the teeth clenching. I tried a mouthpiece, but when I woke up and found that I had apparently thrown it across the room in my sleep, I suspected the mouthpiece was not going to be the answer.

There is something very painful wrong with my neck. I'm hoping my chiropractor has an opening tomorrow.

On Madame Secretary, Tea Leoni was wearing a blue satin fancy dress that had POCKETS.

Ha! Ginger, I’ve woken up without my mouthpiece many times, but I still must be wearing it long enough to prevent much of the clenching since my jaw doesn’t hurt in the morning. Tep, I haven’t found anything else that helps other than the guard.

Sausages made, so that's, like, 3 weeks of breakfasts. No lunches, and no dinners (including tonight's) but I will worry about that after GoT

Why do most bras give me quadraboob, even when they're too big? Always cutting across the top. My build isn't common, I guess. So annoying. Soma failed, nordies failed (well, there was one. But I'm not spending that much on something that was flimsy enough, it wouldn't last long.) found something workable at VS, but the problem with them is they change offerings so often, I'll probably have to do this again. And quality is variable. But at least not for a year or so.

Did not put in the ac. I think I can get through the week, but I've got to get it in by next weekend. I can't vacuum in 80+. Well, I can, it'll just be gross and I'll hate everything.

I don't do anything new either, ZK. It's boring.

Ativan plus some ibuprofen is actually helping ease the existing jaw ache. Fingers crossed I stop clenching it at night now that Tim is out of the hospital and fine (my stress reaction is often delayed, in that my body freaks out AFTER the stressful event is over, because of course it does).

I hope that's the end of it, Steph.

Scrambled eggs for dinner, made in the sausage skillet in hopes it would accumulate the drippings like making gravy. Tolerably successful on that front.

Y'all reminded me of my peas. Mixed the rest up with the frozen corn and cilantro lime dressing and put into individual cups for lunches. Step up from my usual bananas and Kind Strong bars.
