I made myself a hardboiled egg for breakfast this morning. Two of them, actually. The kids had waffles but I'm supposed to be trying to lose weight, so I opted for two eggs. I boiled 'em up... and then there they sat for a while when I got busy with the kids. By the time I finally finished mopping syrup off the floor, my eggs were cold. Yuck. I do like cold hardboiled eggs sometimes, but this morning I wanted them hot. I have this idea that they're more filling if they're hot. So I put them in the microwave. Peeled and whole. For forty-five seconds. When I tried to take a bite, the first egg literally exploded all over my bottom lip.
Boom.
Just like that.
Now I'm sporting a blistery, painful, swollen bottom lip. Seriously, it doesn't hurt as bad as I thought it would, but it feels huge. Like an elephant is sitting on my lip. I ran errands today and was so paranoid that people were staring at it.
Looking back, it was a pretty dumb thing to do. Why didn't I at least cut the eggs in half, if not before I nuked them, then surely after.
At least now I know better.
