There are some weeks that feature a hard-boiled egg every day for lunch - these are the weeks where I have my stuff together on Sunday afternoon - and no matter how hard the weeks go, my hard-boiled egg makes life a little more bearable.
With this realization in mind, I decided to boil up 5 eggs, for lunch every day this week. So I set everything on the stove and started cleaning up the dishes from last night (because, as you could guess, my stuff was not together on Sunday).
I was shifting some things around on the counter (lots of dishes, y'all. It's embarrassing.) when I heard a funny noise, coming from the pot. I got closer. It sounded like cheeping. I AM NOT KIDDING. I turned the radio down, lifted the lid, and saw 5 eggs being boiled. There were tiny streams of bubbles coming out from each one. The cheeping was definitely coming from these eggs.
I told myself I was crazy, set the lid back on the pot, and turned the radio back up.
About 20 seconds later, the cheeping sound was louder, and the pot was rattling around. WHOA. I lifted the lid again and noted that the water wasn't boiling hard enough to cause rattling. I looked at all the eggs closely to see if there was any commotion....nothing. I decided that there was water on the burner and that it had started boiling and escaping, which caused the rattling. (I have one of those glass stove tops.)
I turned the radio up really loud and left the kitchen. I'll be sure to let you all know if I get any sad, disturbing surprises in my lunch.
In other news, Eli apparently likes to eat egg shells. Who knew?
