Did you know it's possible to burn eggs inside their shells?

I didn't. That is until I decided to have an egg sandwich for dinner, got distracted, forgot about the boiling eggs and only remembered when I heard a great crack. Rescuing the pan, which had no water left at all. I eventually shelled the eggs, and they were burnt inside.

My house smells of burnt egg shell.

The ways in which I fail are epic and many.

Also. Somehow my computer won't stop playing happy birthday. It was part of an ecard, but I've closed down the page. Why won't it stop playing!?

I am being driven CRAZY!

I didn't know that could happen...mmmm. I sure hope the smells goes away quickly.

*hug*

Have you tried restarting your PC? Some sites can be really annoying.

No, neither did I. I could have done without finding out too.

Oh well.

I'll reboot once my torrent is finished. Which should be soon, thank goodness!

Thanks, honey. Hope today is a good one for you <3

You know what makes it worse?

I was reading a fic this morning that mentioned someone's morning mouth tasting like burnt ass-hair. Now with this burnt smell I keep imagining that.

*sad face*

I know! It was so unexpected and wrong.

How would you even know what burnt ass-hair tasted like anyway?

Well, JC and Lance may know if they rimmed Chris after the Lamp sex ;)

Burnt ass-hair. Really, it's no wonder I've practically given up novels.

My husband reported that someone at the gym this morning was drying his bottom with a hairdryer. Perhaps this is how these things happen.

I've killed at least one saucepan with over-boiled eggs.

I'd no idea you could do that! Of course, I always use a timer when I boil eggs 'cause I know myself ;-)

Have you tried quitting your web browser and restarting it?

I really need a timer. Of course, anyone should know half an hour is too long to boil *g*

You know, I didn't think of just quitting Firefox. I'm going to try that now.

You are very lucky that the eggs didn't explode and send chunks of nasty smelly burnt egg to land all over the kitchen and stick to the ceiling, which happened to my mother once. Ewww.

Hope the song's stopped for you anyway!

Oh man. I have SO DONE THAT. That exact thing, with the eggs, and also once or twice I forgot when there was only water in the pot and the ACTUAL POT started smoking.

Also, your icon is amazing.

I, too, have burnt eggs. On occasion, when distracted, I've burnt water - or at least boiled the pan dry and burned that ... timers are a must for me, or I wander off and get distracted.

A timer seems like a very useful thing.

But! I'm watching MCR's New Jersey show, it's impossible to be anything but gleeful when that's on the screen.

Tell me what they do to guys like you in prison, GeeWay!

Yesterday I watched a YouTube video imbedded in someone's post and it wouldn't stop playing. It was Jared talking about...um, something, I can't remember now, but it just kept playing over and over and I kept hearing his voice no matter what I did. It was weird.

We could make a sandwich with your eggs and my bread. Last week, I put all the ingredients into the breadmaker...except the water. Yeah, that one didn't smell too good, either.

Hee, this post combined with that icon makes me giggle and giggle! :)

I always forget to put a timer on when I'm cooking eggs, and probably usually overcook them since I hate soft eggs. But never quite that bad. :)
