While I was in a meeting last week with several people who are well above my pay grade, my boyfriend called me. I excused myself to answer, because he never calls mid-morning on a weekday. The conversation ultimately inspired this article, and this is how the conversation went:
Jim: Is now a bad time?
Kim: Yes, but what's up?
Jim: I have a hard boiled egg question.
Kim: ...
Jim: I boiled water, I put the eggs in, but then the directions on Google say to "simmer"... how do I simmer?
Kim: Put the stove knob on 6, and don't touch it.
Obviously, his hard boiled eggs turned out perfectly. And props to him for even knowing that you can hard boil an egg -- progress. Baby steps.
