If Only......

If only something like this could have happened yesterday. JD and I had the joy of sitting for 9 hours to get all of our pharmacy live continuing education credits taken care of. We had the same speaker for two lectures=4 hours hours of nutty nutrition irrelevant to the topic of PMS and PCOS such as drinking mineral water, what kind of magnesium will assist with all of your ailments, or that 90% of Americans are allergic to gluten (wheat) and don't even know it. Did you also know that keeping a hard boiled egg in your lab coat to snack on is a fantastic idea, minus the yolk of course. Rancid almonds are better for you than any other form of almond, eating a tablespoon of cinnamon a day will assist with insulin maintenance, and so on.....My brain was melting with boredom and cynicism, as well as from the rather high temperature and stuffiness of a low lit room to accommodate the powerpoint presentations. A musical distraction would have made the experience all worth it.

Fried Eggs and Fires

So we have some eggs that will go bad soon. The solution? Cook them. That was a good idea until JD was frying some eggs for sandwiches last night when the 'smoke' triggered our smoke alarm, not once, but twice. It was a good check on the fire alarm system throughout the entire house. JD was opening the door and yelling up the stairs that it is our fault and there wasn't a fire. I am fanning away some of the 'smoke' from the alarm area and holding the pan in the air, egg and all, hoping that the 'smoke' would stop. After getting it to stop, we made the mistake of trying to finish the egg and the whole thing started all over again.....I am glad the Roberts' like us. Today.....hard boiled eggs.
