Now that I've typed that header I suppose I should worry what sort of traffic that will bring here. Hmm.
However, in true open fashion I must tell you that at 9 this morning I had an egg in each side of my bra....while I was wearing it. Why? Because it was my ingenious way of warming up two cold eggs from the fridge. I'm making homemade cinnamon rolls and they call for room temperature eggs, but the room was cold. So one on each side and I was golden! Nope, no pictures, that really would bring some weirdos.
Have you ever done anything slightly crazy/kooky because it seemed like a good solution in the kitchen or your home? I can't be the only nutter, right? ..... Right?
That is hysterical. I recently had a recipe that required four room temp eggs. I didn't think of this brilliant solution. And even if I had I don't think I could have fit four eggs in my bra.;-)
ReplyDeleteI am still giggling over this post - the things we do for a perfect recipe! I can't think of anything too crazy I do around the house (other than be completely anal about everything), but I do leave out sticks of butter ALL the time, just in case I need room temp butter for baking. (By the way, I always warm fridge-cold eggs in a bowl of warm water if I need them at room temp. I am so clumsy that I would probably break the eggs if I tucked them on my person!)
ReplyDeleteSo funny....I can't fit a grape in my bra, let alone an egg.
ReplyDeleteBut I have put them in the pockets of my apron before. We have chickens and I was collecting their eggs one afternoon. I wanted to do a couple other things in the yard before I went back into the house, so I put them in my pockets. By the time I went inside, I had forgotten about the eggs, walked to the sink to wash my hands and suddenly felt a cold, wet runny sensation on my abdomen. I had crushed all the eggs when I pressed up against the kitchen sink. Two days later, I did it again. Duh! (as Charlie Sheen would say)
So I guess my advice to you is to keep warming your eggs in your bra, just don't hug anyone or press up against anything.
Eek! I'm shivering just reading that. I think I would have probably gone the bowl of warm water route, too.
ReplyDeletelol.... I don't think I ever would have thought of doing that!
ReplyDeleteI read this and thought, "Hey, that's a good idea." If my husband catches me doing this, I will have enough material to write a post "fojoy" style.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of the eggs trick! And I think I'd be really cold doing it.
ReplyDeleteKudos for planning a week worth of meals - never been able to do it!
Ok, ok confession time: I'm a neat freak, I go around the apartment spraying everything with surgical alcohol to disinfect and kill ALL the germs.
ReplyDeleteOne time in our old apartment, I arbitrarily decided our doormat could profit from a good wash. So off into the washing machine it went. Yikes!!! It was one of those fuzzy mats with bristles made out of coconut hairs. Needles to say, the mat fell apart completely and the bristles clogged the drain pipe in the machine. My boyfriend spent 4 hours cleaning it out. He only let out a couple of curses and didn't yell at me at all. True love I think!
