Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Our wings are not tired.

So sad, my eggs aren't peeling nicely. The last 20 times I made HB eggs, no problem. Today, yuck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ben's friend took his car into the city over playoffs weekend, and in the celebrations following the Eagles' win, his car was almost totaled by people walking all over it. It's still in the shop.

Yikes.

It is so saddening to pick at the little shell bits and ruin the smooth surface of the egg.

I think the most opposite experience is using a Rubbermaid silicone spatula to scoop out the last bit of batter from a glass mixing bowl. Now that is satisfying.

If everything in life were as gratifyingly proper as a rubber spatula then we would be living in an earthly paradise.

Ugh, I hate that Laura! I've been making soft boiled eggs every day lately and feel like half the time they peel super easy and half the time the white ticks and I break it open and yolk is pouring everywhere before I can fix it!

I have cookie dough in the fridge that I made last night, and various chips and dips and friends coming over. Gotta do some cleaning soonish. And go to the gym. And finish reading my book. And. And.

The last time I did HB eggs, I did whatever Kenji Lopez-Alt says to do on Serious Eats, and it really worked.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hot start! That's what I do, too, and it works every time. (I make hard-boiled eggs every Sunday for the upcoming week, because I need the extra protein with my breakfasts.) No bits of egg stick to the shell. It's brilliant.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I won a drawing for a Super Bowl party pack at work. I left it for the folks at the house I work at to enjoy - a $25 gift certificate for pizza isn't exactly a friend to me right now. I hope they have fun with it.

Normally I use the drop in into boiling water thing and this time I did the bring to a boil and take them off the heat. Never again. It is going to be egg salad, higher percentage of yolk for all the white stuck to shell. May have to add an avocado. Anyway, if they want deviled eggs they have to go to TJ's and buy me pre-boiled and shelled ones!
