Frying eggs

As I more or less predicted, RFC is becoming quite a haven for humour,
so here's a contribution (albeit with a cooking theme) stolen from a
recent contribution to rec.humor.funny, in case you missed it there.

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her
husband burst into the kitchen.

"Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're
cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more
butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to
STICK! Careful ... CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when
you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST
your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt
them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!"

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I
don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like
when I'm driving."

Cheers, Phred.

Thanks Phred. DH thought this was very funny. Guess he'll be cooking his
own eggs for a while.

Taking the humour out of the posting....

1. I would never cook fried eggs in butter. Use oil or dripping
2. Don't turn them (unless your eggs aren't disease-free). Sunny side
up and still runny.
3. Don't salt them. Salt them at the table.

I once flatted with a Dutch girl. She cooked corn on the cob in a pot
filled with melted butter. Phew. Never came across that before or
since.

Agreed!

Dutch people are eating really fat, but they don't seem a nation of obese's.
They must be riding those bikes a lot 😉

Little butter never hurts anything.

Ever heard of "easy-over?" I like 'em basted; still runny but partly
cloudy.

Makes sense.

Never flatted with any girl. My misfortune.

No, their friendly local governments just declare entire city centers
taboo for anything on wheels (cars, bikes, ...) so they get to walk an
awful lot.

I doubt: everytime I have been to Amsterdam or Eindhoven bikes were
everywhere, even in the most central part of town.

Nobody said the dutch actually do what the local gvt. tells them to 🙂

In a lot of shopping areas bikes are only allowed to be pushed by hand.
As soon as one gets a bit further away from the shops, one can actually
use the bike for what it is meant for.

That's you. Thankfully, it's not me.

I always flip my fried eggs. For the length of time I cook them,
the yolks are always runny.

Nonsense. I add salt and pepper before flipping

Butter must be damn cheap!
