with the boiled egg incident, the egg actually boiled fine, but when i was trying to peel it, it wouldn't peel, and i somehow ripped the egg in half and the whole thing fell in the bin
I just want to say that this happened to me this morning almost exactly, except I had hard cooked two eggs and one was fine so I still had an egg for my lunch, and the one that I muffed up wasn't my last egg, but I definitely thought of lex and I had some pretty hearty LOLs in the kitchen.
And yes, I ran them both under cold water and did all the right things. One was just a real jerk of an egg.

LOL I don't know what happened in this thread but IMO small town newspapers are a national treasure. I can get pretty immersed in local news if its myopic and small enough -- "big city" news doesn't do it for me. "yeah yeah someone got stabbed on the bus... wait hold on... The courthouse renovations are dangerously overbudget?!"

We took a menu handed out on the sidewalk and stood in line about 20 minutes before we could even get inside. We enjoyed the experience. And actually the burgers were very tasty. They had the good flavor that comes only with a little fat. We are not sure if they contained pink slime that has hit the news waves of late. And we didn’t ask.
love this

The pink slime is what Jamie Oliver called mechanically separated chicken that goes into nuggets, etc. Probably other meat, too. It looks like bubble gum.

No, it's leftover beef trimmings that get centrifuged, treated with ammonia, and added to ground beef. Not joking.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to defend "pink slime" beef, but Jamie Oliver really mischaracterized the ammonia treatment of meat.

What an intro!
“See you tomorrow,” said hostess Sue Prowse as I left Applebee’s after having lunch there the other day.
I was somewhat startled — wondering if I was forgetting something. Then she grinned and explained that is just the Applebee’s way of ushering customers out. “See you tomorrow,” is what they use as a promotion
