Victory is mine!
After several hours of struggling with blogger, I have finally learned how to link to my friends' pages (and a few useful politial ones) in the sidebar. As much as I love technology and language, you'd think I'd have cracked html code by now!
(My computer programmer friends are probably snickering reading this)
You know, I'd probably be feeling really lame if it weren't for the blinding euphoria of having learned one small new skill. Now I just have to conquer Atlas.Ti, physics, poker, motorcycles and the stock market. And I need to learn to fry an egg. I can make a wild mushroom risotto, but I can't fry an egg.

what?!!! you can't fry an egg? Don't you remember "this is your brain. This is your brain on drugs..."
Ok, just in case, here are some simple instructions:
heat skillet on LOW heat. Use some anti-stick option, such as: spray on vegetable oil, small pat of butter, few drops of olive oil, amount will depend on the mu factor of your frypan.
Once pan is hot, crack egg and let sit until the clear part opaques, sprinkle with salt. When the yolk acheives desired textures, with spatula, remove from pan.
If you are having a hard time getting the top to cook, you can a) splash hot oil from pan over the top (depending on the quantity of lipids employed) or b) cover the egg with a pot cover for a minute or two.
love ya darlin'
I prefer bacon grease as a non-stick option for my eggs. If you are a veggie, then butter is good. If you are vegan...well shit...I guess use olive oil. I hear peanut oil is good too.
I found blogspot to be pretty 'user-friendly' to use a tired out saying. The most complexity the less it gets
'friendly'
I remember in 8th grade I was the "This is your brain on drugs" egg for Halloween with my best friend (wanting candy, but not having any costume). We got a large white sheet, made eye holes and a yellow yolk, and carried a sign that said, "We are your brain on drugs." Half the people got it and were cracking up laughing, the other people just looked at us like we were *crazy*. Ahh, good times.
I will try and follow both of your egg-making instructions. It really is pathetic how terrible my eggs turn out most of the time. Every now and then it works, and it's like the clouds part and angels sing, and then I completely fuck up the dismount and it still looks terrible on the plate. Sigh...
My friend Alex introduced me to fried eggs with a dash of cumin. Good stuff.
