🥚 The Incredible 🍳 Edible Egg 🥚
Who knew this was even a thing? Today is National Egg Day and I’m here for it. Scrambled eggs, deviled eggs, omelets, quiche, egg custard…
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.
I’m behind. I need to catch up.
I’m 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 rancheros…
I like lunch and dinner eggs: deviled eggs, quiche, frittatas, Cobb Salad, egg curry, fried egg sandwiches, even shrimp fried rice…
How can you go wrong?
Okay, there’s the whole thing about cholesterol, but I don’t 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 there’s a historical beginning, then the plots get convoluted. ~Clive Cussler
I might be able to write to a formula, but I haven’t figured out what the formula is.
That’s the trade-off with pantsing. I don’t have a formula, so I simply transcribe the story as I see it in my mind’s eye.
I guess that’s 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, it’s going to be a much longer arc. Being that it’s in the style of comic books, I mean for it to be intricately woven and deeply self-referencing.
Even so, I’ve got to get more words on the page.
Kind of hard to do that when I’m swamped with day job work. Between the volume of what’s overdue and the time and effort required to get caught up, I just don’t 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 there’s room for story stuff.
That’s all for today. I’ve got plenty to do and plenty of sleep to catch up on.
