re:  kitchen

dude.  that time you decided to set a timer to remind yourself you had a pot on the stove?

do that all the time.  and until you make this a policy, STOP.  BOILING.  EGGS.  they are stinky when they burn, and who lives next door to the kitchen?

yup.

OY. And PHEW.

In self-defense, you might want to teach her this way of boiling eggs, which actually has far better results and is easier:

Put eggs in pot, cover with water.
Bring to boil.
Turn off the heat and cover the pot.
Walk away for fifteen minutes.
Return, rinse in cold water to stop the eggs cooking.

You still have the problem of the initial boil, but that takes only a couple of minutes.

this is how i boil eggs.

maybe some time i'll mention that to her. i suspect she'd forget anyway, but it's worth a shot.

(how come you're boiling eggs, ms. vegan?)

Because eggs are a cheap, convenient, and tasty source of protein. :) I get the ones that aren't produced by tortured cannibals and am content.
