December 14th, 2005fun things to know
If you are boiling eggs, and you get busy doing something else ::coughfixingwendysblogcough::, the water will boil away and bad things happen to the a) pot, b) eggs and c) smell in your apartment (yech).
For your perusal…
Edible or not? Will they kill me?
I think this is one of my grandmother’s pots… and that means my mom is going to kick my ass.
Lovely.
And really, the Internet should be scratch-and-sniff—or click-and-sniff—because my apartment smells terrible right now. So terrible, in fact, that I had to open a window—and it’s 18 degrees outside.
I am now chattering as I type. Must. go. shut. window.
Just make some more eggs, dear.
Soak the pot. I mean fill the sink with soapy water and leave it soak over night. Buy a piece of steel wool, without the soap, and set to scrubbin’.
If that doesn’t work, tell your mom the pot was stolen by aliens who were in need of fine cooking utensils.

But there were seven in there!
They will kill me, hmm? Kinda like keeping canned food in the fridge? (After it’s open people, I’m not nuts.)
And argh!@%! scrubbing. Yeah, yeah.

still edible? no. there is something in the dust of eggshells that is very harmful. i don’t remember the whole thing. maybe it’s only if its inhaled. the dust not the egg.

And yeah, so I scrubbed and I scrubbed and my hand is now all wrinkly, my apartment is cold and still smells and the pot is as clean as it’s ever gonna get.
Stupid pot.

And lovely, egg dust.
The coworker is coming for breakfast before we leave… maybe I will test them on her… no, no, that’s awful.
Ahem.

Dummy.

OK, first off, name-calling is really not something you should be starting jackass. 😛
And alright, so maybe I skimmed your comment and missed that vital little “overnight” detail.
Shut. Up.

Comment by wendykat — December 14, 2005 @ 10:14 pm
Oh wow.
I just.. I um… OK, so maybe I should read the emails more thoroughly.
Bear in mind things were boiling at that time.
Fixing now.

boiling or burning?
Comment by wendykat — December 14, 2005 @ 10:14 pm
Um, boiled then burned—but when I left the kitchen, the pot was full of water damn it!
😛
Comment by the insider — December 14, 2005 @ 10:17 pm
Yes I rile.
Shut up.

OK, it’s way too late to comment on this, but I’ll still do it. Just… because. I agree with Grampa, overnight would have saved you some elbow grease. And they were probably edible, just not tasty.
Helpful, no?

Anne… I haven’t tossed them yet, so I might give it a go. So helpful… where were you last night?!?! (And don’t say sleeping. SIGH) 😉
Wendy… I’ll let you know. 😛

Livin’ da life. That’s where I was last night. In my dreams.
Comment by anne — December 15, 2005 @ 1:09 pm
next time you burn up the eggs, just fill the pot with water, some baking soda and a little bit of dish soap. put it back on the burner and simmer (operative word here) for a little while. the gunk should come right off.
