I need to take eggs to work which means I need to take eggs to work on the bus. Raw eggs. Raw eggs with thin shells. Raw eggs with thin shells that can easily be broken on a rattley, clangy, bouncy public transportation ride — a loaded-with-people-standing-in-the-isle-precariously-jostling-over-you kind of a ride.
At our staff meeting at work, we take turns bringing treats. I had recently mentioned to my staff about the cake in a cup that I had made. (Go here to see the 3 variations of the recipe for cake in a cup.) They were intrigued with the idea. So, I decided to bring the ingredients to work so we could make the tasty treat. Hence, the need for taking raw eggs on the bus.
I was pondering the perdicaent with a scowl on my face. When my husband asked about my long face, I told him I was trying to figure out how to get the eggs to work without breaking them in my tote bag that holds my lunch, my purse, my iPhone, my 3 jumpdrives, and the book or two that I am currently reading. None of which would appreciate being coated with yellow cholesterol.
He reminded me of all the things that I’ve recently taken on the bus — all without having a single mishap:
- elegant crystal bowls (as wedding gifts)
- a crock pot of taco soup
- cakes in a glass cake pan
- 2 pies (on the same trip)
- a guitar
- corn bread (again in a glass pan)
I successfully carried these items while also juggling a laptop computer and my tote bag (with all the items that I listed above). After his encouraging words, I decided could do it.
Now, I just need to know how: sunny side up? Or, over easy?
Sunny side up.
