The great exploding egg caper

I learned something about the physics of boiling eggs. Get them out of the pan before the water boils off or there could be some trouble.

I was boiling eggs tonight for egg salad for lunch later in the week, but forgot the flame was still on and, well, was reminded when I heard what sounded like a shelf of dishes crashing to the ground.

I ran to the kitchen and found something stinky (burned eggs smell real bad) and stuck to the cabinets and ceiling.

So the moral of this story is: Don’t forget the eggs or there will be egg on more than your face.

Yuck.
