I just realized that I now have NEARLY THIRTY EGGS in my fridge because I keep going to the store under the illusion that we are OMG almost out of eggs. Someone make it stop!

Or, who wants some eggs?

Jeff and I just discovered the joys of making hard cooked eggs in the rice cooker - you just put them in the steamer basket and in the time it takes to cook white rice you also get hard cooked eggs. They make nice snacks or an excellent breakfast on the go.

Crack them into your beers at the bar for dinner.

PANTLESSNESS

jenny wtf is that thing it's scaring the shit out of me

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

my rice cooker has no steamer basket...but not a bad idea! the major problem is that i hate to eat eggs. d likes them. i find omelettes edible if they have enough yummers fillings, but the thought of eating a hard boiled egg on the go (or while seated, for that matter) makes me nauseous. i had a coworker once who would eat an egg every day and when she peeled it in front of me i had to leave the room. sensitive flower, u know it.

xp 's the incredible edible egg!

unless it's mayor mccheese?

hanker for a hunka, slab or slice or chunka?

Yeah, this is fairly disgusting, I agree.

It's Timer! Time for Timer! He was the little dude who came out during the Saturday morning cartoons of our youth to extoll us to eat something for breakfast:

A hardboiled egg, a chicken leg, grilled cheese or luncheon meat
or a peanut butter sandwich any time of day's a treat!

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

A hard boiled egg in the afternoon is a great snack. Good for weightwatchers.

Lots of salt, lots of pepper.

Hard-boiled is not my favorite thing in the world, but I will eat it. Basically any other egg preparation is cool with me. Eggs!

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

is he the hanker for a hunka cheese guy?

i WISH i could eat eggs -- but they make me NAUSEOUS.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

He also did one where he turned a piece of cheese into a wagon wheel! And another where he showed us how to freeze orange juice with toothpick handles in an ice cube tray in to make sunshine on a stick.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

Chicken leg for BREAKFAST?!?!

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

YES I hanker for a hunka, a slab a slice a chunka, I hanker for a hunka cheese.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

On the other hand, if I've had some eggs in my fridge for multiple months, should I throw them away? I don't think I've ever had a bad egg, but still.

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

I can barely eat an omelette, and usually only if it's v.v. fancy or if I made it myself with tons of onion powder and pepper.

Ah yes, I remember that little yellow man.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

I don't want the incredible edible egg to turn into Mr.Yuk.

cold fried chicken is the breakfast of awesomeness

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:29 (nineteen years ago)

I think the spots were geared toward latch key kids and neglected inner city youth who might not have anybody making them french toast to tell them that eating in the morning is IMPORTANT and even if you have to grab a cold chicken leg, hey! It's all good!

xp - multiple months? Jordan, through those out. And I ate a yogurt that had been sans refrigeration for over twelve hours so I'm not squeamish about old food.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:29 (nineteen years ago)

Although I then spent years begging my mother to let me eat cold chicken for breakfast.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

I look at hard boiled eggs as nature's own energy bars.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

ooh what did i miss? I was not up for craziness that night, but I never heard fun stories.

a friend of mine and her now ex-boyfriend (who have been discussed to death today) showed up later on. then after the party wound down we went out and ratcheted things up. i think i opened my last beer around 7 a.m.

thing is, this Timer fellow is obviously the product of a diseased mind. wtf IS he? A shrivelly old lemon?

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

If you could find and remove the part of my brain that finds hard boiled eggs totally foul, I would really appreciate it. It's my great food-related shame. People around the world enjoy eggs...why can't I?

― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

Sunshine on a stick makes me happy.
Sunshine on a stick in my eye makes me cry.

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, I will throw out bad eggs.

I have a rock show that starts in 2.5 hours. It will still be daylight out. That ain't natural.

(we're opening up for a "Portland quirk-rock" band)

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

haha ez

― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

The best I can do with eggs is quiche. I'll gladly eat a quiche, because of the cheese and the veggies and the crust, but anything eggier than that, including omelettes, are out. Although I think I had a scramble at Food Dance Cafe in Kalamazoo that was OK. I probably put lots of salsa or ketchup on it.

― jaymc, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

have fun tonight, poochies. wish i could be there.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

Quirk-rock makes me think the singer will either be a guy with Ira Glass/Harvey Danger glasses or two gals looking like extras from "Laisse Tomber Les Filles", or both.

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

LOL @ sunshine on a stick in my eye

I went through a period of about six years extending from junior high to college where I HATED eggs and could neither eat nor smell them without getting nauseated. And then one day, it was like Oh. Yeah. Eggs. Cool. And here I am.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

I pretty much live for omelettes. It's my morning-after speciality, as well (ask Nick & Sarah).

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

Which Portland quirk-rock band? Because it's not us, if we're quirk-rock, which I don't know if we are, etc.

I think I've said this before but somebody in this office sounds just like Norm McDonald.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

kevin/kenan: are you talking about my birthday party. i remember meeting kevin there, but no kenan. of course, there is a lot missing in my recollection of that party.

― sisut, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

I was there for about 20 minutes, but then I got in the wind all quiet-like. I was not feeling my best.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

that makes sense. i don't know how to use correct punctuation.

― sisut, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

kenan was there then said he was going out for a cigarette and never came back. it was very springsteenian of him.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

ha!

Because I'm just that cool.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan's like a river that don't know where it's flowin'.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

Dont make no difference what nobody says
Aint nobody like to be alone

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

But he knows what it means
to walk along the lonely street of dreams

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

IT'S THE ONLY ROAD I'VE EVER KNOWN

anyway speaking of leaving places, I am leaving this one. Bye Chicago. Nice to see you online, Katie.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Friends, it hurts my heart to do this, but I am going to skip TT. I think we all knew this was coming, but it brightened my afternoon to think I was going for a beer with my pals at the end of my workday. My employment discrimination grade and my health thank you for your patience with me.
