All in a Day's Work
Food critic Fox just stopped in. "What's up?" I asked. "I'm 'bout to try to fry an egg on the sidewalk," she said, with not a hint of sarcasm. For a woman who recently orchestrated a Diet Coke/Mentos explosion in the parking lot with an entire newspaper staff agog, this egg-frying stuff is just all in a day's work. She was eating her lunch too: Kroger brand Lacey Swiss cheese and Milano salami—straight out of the plastic packages.
Maybe there will be a cold-cut review in next week's Scene. And we'll keep you posted 'bout the egg too.

I meant to post this on Bites only, but now that it's here...what the hell.
Posted 08/06/2007 at 01:32:16 PMWhile my lunch lacked both flavor and texture, I could not fault the atmosphere: cinderblock walls adorned with humorous and hard-hitting journalism from the last decade. I'll definitely return to Liz Garrigan's office.
Posted 08/06/2007 at 01:38:25 PMYou can't fry and egg on the sidewalk. You can't fry an egg on the hood of a car. You can't fry an egg using a reflective solar panet.

panet: special egg frying surface from France.

An egg will definately cook on the hood of my car.

I just went to check on the egg (By now you must have realized that this whole egg-cooking scam is just a procrastination technique. And it works.) and it is worth noting that the yolk has developed a protective shell of sorts across the top. When I punctured it, the internal yolk temperature was not far from a sunny-side-up egg. I'm not saying it "cooked," or that I would eat it, but something is going on out there and, by God, it is hot.

Posted 08/06/2007 at 04:12:39 PMI love that the "recent" Mentos bomb example is used to describe something that happened over a year ago.
Posted 08/06/2007 at 09:59:31 PMAh, but I remember it as if it were only yesterday.
Posted 08/07/2007 at 06:44:24 AMMy shirt still bears the Diet Coke stain as if it were just yesterday.
