Useless Information and Photos
Why am I posting this recipe? I will eventually remember it in short time, but I found this recipe on yet another accursed recipe site. Not only is the actual recipe buried in ancillary text and ads, half the time when I visit the page there’s a subscription modal that for some reason I’m not able to close on my phone, blocking the actual recipe directions. I don’t need that kind of digital abuse in my life, so I’m posting it here for my own benefit.
I’d say 1/3 of my diet is straight eggs, and boiled ones are the most convenient to have on hand. Hard boiled ones are honestly not easy to eat because of the yolk’s texture. Soft-boiled are perfect and actually as pleasant to me as fried or scrambled eggs. They just look nicer than hard-boiled, too:

Ah, yes — the accursed recipe sites. I’ve come to hate most of them for all that unnecessary badgering. Over the years of helping people with computer problems, I’ve learned to estimate when they are porn addicts because of the garbage it plants on computers. I’d say recipe sites are the next biggest problem.
I remember in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when radio station website for some reason were especially bad, in terms of design. Two of the big rock radio stations in my area (WAAF and WCCC) had still maintained maximalist web 2.0-styled websites even when that design movement was well in the past. Both of those stations, btw, are now K-LOVE affiliates. LOL
