I was in a bit of a hurry this morning, so I thought I would save some time by using my microwave for a change. I cooked a few eggs up last night (hardboiled) so that I’d have a little snack in the fridge when I got hungry. But, unfortunately, cold hard boiled eggs just don’t really do it for me. I figured — why not just warm those puppies back up in the microwave before I eat them? Sounds like a good idea. So, I deshelled them and stuck two eggs in the microwave.
They weren’t even in there that long really, just like 45 seconds. The first waited until I had opened the door to take him out, and then he exploded in a raining shower of egg pieces. It scared the shit out of me at first, and then I thought it was kind of funny. I was like “oh well, I’ll just eat the other one.” He was a little trickier that guy. He didn’t explode at first – oh no, that would be too simple for his liking – instead, he waited until I picked him up, and then KABOOOM, steamy egg all over my shirt and counter.
So, I had a piece of toast for breakfast.
Apparently I’m not the only person to do this on the planet.
Don’t worry Duane, runs in the family, hereditary I think….lol…too funny.
BAHAHAHAHAHA that was a good laugh.
Pics?
I should have taken a pic 🙁 Maybe I’ll do a repeat and make a video out of it.
ha! I had to re-read that… I didn’t really realize you *picked* it up then it exploded! Crazy!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i actually laughed out loud at the image of you with *ahem* egg on your face. ba-dum-pssshhhhh 😉
omfg. just about fell off my chair….
I think there should be a club or a support group for people who have survived an exploding egg incident. If you ever feel alone in the world you can read my egg bomb story at http://ajillstory.blogspot.com/2006/03/brave-and-crazy.html
On the plus side, exploding eggs make for really funny stories that friends seem to love.
Cheers.
