The Incredible Edible Egg
Who knew this was even a thing? Today is National Egg Day and Iām here for it. Scrambled eggs, deviled eggs, omelets, quiche, egg custardā¦
DIY
If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. ~Napoleon Bonaparte
The thing about trying to get things done is that sometimes you just need to step off to a desert island or a pocket dimension.
Iām behind. I need to catch up.
Iām not inclined to work weekends because I need to recover from another dizzying week.
Unfortunately, the only way to achieve the extra-dimensional island vibe is to do some weekend catch up work.
Just damn.
Oh, well. Gotta get it done.
Gotta Break Some Eggs
9 Egg Recipes for Breakfast
Fortunately, eggs are not off the menu for me. This versatile protein has so many ways to be prepared and fits every meal of the day.
I like breakfast eggs of all kinds: scrambled, hard boiled, sunny-side up, soft boiled, omelets, even huevos rancherosā¦
I like lunch and dinner eggs: deviled eggs, quiche, frittatas, Cobb Salad, egg curry, fried egg sandwiches, even shrimp fried riceā¦
How can you go wrong?
Okay, thereās the whole thing about cholesterol, but I donāt happen to have that problem. I can avoid that problem by maintaining a balanced diet.
I may like eggs, but I like vegetables and meat as well. Eggs are only one data point on the Food Pyramid. A tasty one, but only one among many.
Variety is the spice of life.
Then The Plots Get Convoluted
I almost write to formula, because thereās a historical beginning, then the plots get convoluted. ~Clive Cussler
I might be able to write to a formula, but I havenāt figured out what the formula is.
Thatās the trade-off with pantsing. I donāt have a formula, so I simply transcribe the story as I see it in my mindās eye.
I guess thatās a way of doing it, but it usually gets me painted into a corner.
The Holiday Season Serial Romances have a formula, but I pants and dance around the basic structure to get the annual story done.
For The Sentinels, itās going to be a much longer arc. Being that itās in the style of comic books, I mean for it to be intricately woven and deeply self-referencing.
Even so, Iāve got to get more words on the page.
Kind of hard to do that when Iām swamped with day job work. Between the volume of whatās overdue and the time and effort required to get caught up, I just donāt have the mental energy to do what is needed to get these books going.
First things first, though. I need to get the work stuff out of my head so thereās room for story stuff.
Thatās all for today. Iāve got plenty to do and plenty of sleep to catch up on.
