I took the advice. My old Undertaker (WWF) pillow now lies dismembered on my bedroom floor. :beaten:

I tried this... unfortunately couldn't reclaim some of the files :(

Sorry I'm late on comforting you, Wynter.

I always complain about everything on my blog unless I forget. And I always complain about everything to the unlucky people around me. I loooove to complain.

And this thread is great for complaining, isn't it? :hehe: Last night I slept at 6am. Then I head three hours of disturbed sleep. I feel like a zombie.

I'm browsing through my download of Lunch no Joou and noticed it's hardsubbed... With butt-ugly script fonts. :shakehead: :bleh:

What the hell are you fansubbers thinking????? :crazy:

Just do the fansub with plain, simple, easy-to-read fonts and spare us the artsy-fartsy crapola. :grumble:

i didn't think they are bad. i've seen worse.

Hehe.. you are pretty picky with subs, aren't you? Well, I suspect the drama will make up for subbing misgivings :)

I am.

They're supposed to be a help, not a hindrance... I'm starting to come to the conclusion that fansubbers are ego/attention-driven. :sweat:

If I ever get around to watching it.

damn, i've just realised top gear's on tv and i've been sat here and missed it. :beaten:

every egg i've tried to fry recently i've gone and burst the yoke. :grumble:

This is truly tragic. I will tell you, however, that some eggs are just destined to have broken yolks. I make a good number of eggs and about 1 in 10 seem to include yolks which are irreconcilable.

Here are some things to factor into your yolk-breaking calculus:

How are you cracking the egg? Many people use an edge surface to break an egg. Alton Brown of Good Eats turned me onto the flat surface breaking method - no egg shrapnel and it seems much more likely to merit an unbroken egg yolk.

How are you dumping the egg into the pan? Keep the half shell low to the pan and you'll be less likely to break the yolk. Pour it out over the pan rather than dropping it from height.

How hot is the pan? If the pan is too hot, the thermal shock your egg experiences upon contact which can rupture the proteins that make up the membrane around the yolk.

How old are your eggs? Newer eggs will have yolks which have a stronger connection to their whites and can make separating an egg yolk from a white more likely to break the yolk. That being said, if you aren't separating the whites, it shouldn't make a huge difference.

Or you could just make an omelet. :mrgreen:
