Eggs

When at a restaurant and asked, "how would you like your egg?" The pressure is now on and I must rack my brain to think of the different names associated with the cooked egg I crave at the moment. The words overeasy, poached, fried, or coddled never come to mind, only the description. How humiliating it would be to reply with "cooked on both sides with some butter, yolk not broken" or, "the broken and cooked in water type". No, they expect you to be eloquent enough to produce the words "fried" or "poached".

Due to this, I often end up repeating the same egg type that everyone else orders, "scrambled". Often times, the scrambled egg is nothing more than an egg substitute, so not only do I loose out on the egg of choice, I loose out on the egg experience completely. This is not a good way to start the day.

While doing an online search to learn and memorize egg definitions, I was reminded of my childhood. We had chickens all over our yard and everyday we would do an egg hunt. It was rather like Easter, except instead of finding pink, green and yellow eggs with pretty designs, we found brown eggs. Usually in the same places each day. When cooked, the color seemed more brilliant and had a richer flavor.

Ah, the bliss found in memories.

My boss recently told us about this web site that offers 1/2 price dining deals. You must be quick with your mouse though and grab the internet deals when they first become available every Tue and Fri at 9am.

Happy Dining!

DeFord Music

2 weeks ago I joined an institute choir. Although I'm not a good singer, I love to be part of a mass group of singing individuals. The music we're singing is quite beautiful, and some is accessible on the web at Sally DeFord Music. You can download an MP3 or the sheet music.

This is definitely a page I'll be bookmarking.

Growling Stomach

I read an interesting, yet humorous article this morning that discusses the causes of the lovely noises our bodies make, such as the growling stomach, burps and of course flatulence.

I found it rather interesting that the growling stomach noise isn't caused by the stomach. It's caused by the intestines they contract and as air moves inside.

Are you like a Simpsons character?

Which character from The Simpsons are you most like?

I'm shocked to be Marge. But then, there aren't any characters I would care to be like.

Control Freak?

On MSN this morning, there is a Control Freak Quiz.

I scored 16!

Ops, he did it again.

Yesterday I walked into the ladies room to find a guy standing there with a mop in his hand. This is disturbing because one must enter the ladies room to discover that he's lurking in there.

After the shock of seeing him wore off (about 1 1/2 seconds), I looked away and quickly walked out, thinking that the new cleaning guy must have forgotten to put the "do not enter" sign in front of the door. Harmless mistake?

Perhaps not, as it happened again today.

I find this rather disturbing. If I was a facility cleaner, I can't imagine cleaning the mens room without alerting all the men that I would be in there. This is easily done with those orange/yellow "do not enter" signs.

Does this give anyone else the creeps? Is there a law about this?
