Post-Recital Joys

***Sunday morning, I was having the breakfast buffet at my family's hotel restaurant...sitting in front of my large plate piled with food, spearing scrambled eggs and sausage onto my fork, when my sister and I had the following profound conversation:
"Jennifer, do you remember our old breakfasts at home, when we were younger, and we'd have scrambled eggs and sausage, or hash browns and sunny side up?"
"Yeah, that was so good! I loved combining the hash browns and sunny side up, that was my favorite!"
"Well, I was just watching you eat your scrambled eggs and sausage, and it reminded me of that. But you know when you combine them, which one do you put on your fork first, the eggs or the sausage?"
"Ohhh, usually I put the egg on first, because it's softer."
"Yeah, if you put the sausage first and then try to get the egg with it, the eggs just fall apart, right?"
"Exactly!"
"But just now I saw you put the sausage on first."
"Well, I was cutting the sausage, and then I accidentally forked it first instead of the eggs, but the eggs still stayed intact!"
"Yeah, I think it's because the eggs here are more solid and sort of glued together."
"Yeahhh, that's the case with most hotel breakfast scrambled eggs, I've realized! They're kind of harder and don't have much flavor and are even kind of plastic-y."
We went on like this for a while. By the time we looked up from our engrossing discussion, both our parents had left the table. :(



Post-Recital Joys:
1) midnight dinner at Legal Seafood
2) bouquets of flowers, tons of color filling my tiny apartment
3) finally listening to Mylo Xyloto
4) catching up with my good old Mei, and morphing comfortably and joyfully back into my true bossy self. :)
