Eggs, today!<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nI like to make fried eggs — I like the experience, putting a little chilli on them, putting the cover on to cook them top down. I like flipping them and I like not flipping them. I find the whole thing much more pleasing than scrambling eggs, but don\u2019t get me wrong. I also like scrambling eggs.<\/p>\n

Anyways on this particular day — let’s call it “yesterday” — I cracked my first egg perfectly and put it in a small bowl. The idea was to keep it separate from the second egg in case catastrophe struck and I broke the yolk. Safety first, right?<\/p>\n

I cracked the second egg in its own bowl, and — yoinks! Broken yolk. Sad but resilient, I tossed the second egg, and cracked the third, and double-yoinks on the third egg! I tossed the third. I cracked the fourth, and again, there was something off in my technique. Too much vigor? Ruined! Tossed!<\/p>\n

And here, the twist: I reached into the fridge to get more eggs, to complete my perfect pair-of-soon-to-be fried eggs. And yet. And yet. <\/p>\n

There were no more eggs.<\/p>\n

Left with just one egg now — well who wants just one fried egg? Perhaps you do, and if so, I wish I had made you one. But not me. I\u2019m all about two eggs. So I tossed my one good egg.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the lesson learned: Had I not tossed the second — perhaps just made a scramble, I would have had a lovely egg snack. Had I checked the fridge before tossing the second, and third, and yes fourth, I would have had a lovely egg snack.<\/p>\n

But I had no lovely egg snack. Only two bowls to clean. And a banana, slightly bruised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
