All of a sudden I craved a soft boiled egg. In Europe they commonly have them at hotel breakfast buffets, and ... I liked them. My mouth was watering at the now-distant memory, so out came my Joy of Cooking and I figured out how to make them.
And then I figured out that it's really hard to eat a soft boiled egg without an egg cup.
So I went onto eBay to find an egg cup. No biggie, can't be more than a few bucks right? And then I found out just a fraction of how many adorable egg cups exist in the world. I now have purchased three egg cups (
this,
this, and
this) and a
set of two egg coddlers.
This is ridiculous. I can't afford to collect egg cups right now!
But it sure feels good. I can't wait until they arrive.
This, however, scares me. I may have to sleep with the light on tonight!
