I pretty much hate everything.

Dirty

A few minutes ago I asked my husband if he would like me to make him some eggs for breakfast.
"No, I'll do it"
My husband was never taught how to cook, but he's always willing to try.
So, I stood in the doorway of the kitchen and watched him beat the eggs with a fork, gently.
Caressing them with the tines.
"No, no, no. You've got to do it hard and fast."
"How?"
"Pretend they're your wife."

Commented by Closet Metro:: I cracked two eggs this morning. Hard and fast, just the way you like it. ;); 4:08 PM
Commented by Katy Barzedor:: Yeah, but if you go too hard and fast, there's always the danger of premature yolking.; 4:40 PM
Commented by Whyme:: Tee hee...that's funny. Made me want to make eggs and I don't even eat eggs.; 10:12 PM
Commented by Nilbo:: I just need to know if you prefer it over easy or sunny side up ...

... and if he can't beat your eggs, I'd be glad to poach ...; 9:41 AM
Commented by Elizabeth:: You nasty girl. Now I know why I love ya. LOLOLOL; 2:57 PM
Commented by Anonymous:: Whip it. Whip it good.; 3:04 PM
Commented by Ern:: I bet after the eggs, you could put a spatula to good use.; 6:09 PM
Commented by Katy Barzedor:: Spatula gets all the press, 'cause it's so glamorous, but it's really the whisk you want, maybe combined with a bit of cheese grater if you like it rough.

And few appreciate the subtle magic of the rolling pin. But don't get me started...; 8:21 PM
Commented by TheStolenOlive:: I'm just wondering... do you put cream in your eggs before you scramble them?; 9:19 PM
Commented by Torrie:: You guys are getting me all hot and bothered.
Bucky, I'm still removing the splinters.
Future Food, no cream or milk, just water. I've read that cream or milk weighs the eggs down, makes them dense.
The water makes them fluffy.
The best cookbook that explains stuff like that is called The Best Recipe. It's by the people who make Cooks Illustrated Magazine.; 9:37 PM
Commented by Candy:: WOOOOO, Im coming to your house for breakfast!!!; 3:24 AM
