It’s been a nice and quiet one.
Guess what I ate for the first time today?
An omelette. A three egg omelette. I’m pretty sure that I’ve mentioned my intense disgust for eggs. ) As a kid, I would sit at the table for hours and stare at my eggs until my dad took his afternoon nap and my mom threw them away for me.) And it had tomatoes! (Gah, tomatoes! Le vomit!) Two food items that I despise but they worked okay together.
I was shocked.
I ate this because I’m doing the Atkins diet (down 26 pounds since March 1!) and I decided that I need to make peace with eggs. I don’t think I’ll ever fry up any of those bitches for breakfast but they’re okay if they’re holding meat and cheese together.
In a very surprising act, Sweety toted me to the mall in the big city. He’d seen me looking at Sephora online and heard me bitching about paying for shipping. (He didn’t believe me at first when I told him about primer that goes on your eyes before you put makeup on. I’m an oily human.) So we went there and I had a professional hook me up with some new stuff to hide undereye circles. The bane of my face’s existence. I’m going to have to start getting up earlier to spackle my face but I will do it.
A couple of weeks ago I went to my next door neighbor’s house (she’s 16) for an eyeshadow lesson. I have been wearing the shit out of some eyeshadow. I don’t care if I look like a peacock. I like it.

A peacock? Girl, that’s the amount of eyeshadow I wear when I am trying to look natural. I go drag queen. I’d be happy to teach you.

How in the is green on your skin natural? That photo was the first time I wore it. I’m layering more on each time.
My goal is to work up to eyes that I hear people muttering about and then dial it back one notch.
I like shiny things.

if you don’t mind me asking…as dark circles are also the bane of my face’s existence….
what did they give you?

Stay Don’t Stray and Diorskin Nude in the Honey color. I’m pretty light and would have bought a lighter color if she hadn’t put it on me. It really covers the circles without looking too light or weird.
I’m also super lazy and to Sweety when we were walking in that I that I wouldn’t use something on my face if I had to brush it on when he pointed out some stuff (I actually said that I wasn’t that high maintenance. Ha!)..but the saleslady used a brush to dab on the concealer and then her finger to pat it in and I could tell that it looked better than when I just swipe stuff on with my finger. I happen to have a spare brush to devote to the cause.

I don’t eat eggs either unless they are holding together something sweet like a cake. I’ll very occasionally eat a fried egg; but never boiled or scrambled or anything exotic. I’ve never had an omelet and probably never will.

I can’t handle fried eggs at all. I remember my Grandpa eating them when I was a kid and I’d have to arrange stuff on the kitchen table so I didn’t have to look at his plate while I ate. Runny egg…*shudder*

Ha! My aunt brought over eggs from her farm for a cookout this weekend. I was just about to eat one when she said, “That’s straight from the chicken’s butt this morning!”
Blerg!!! I couldn’t eat it after that. But, everyone else said they were great!

Hahahahaha! Yeah, that’s too fresh for me! I want my eggs to be stale and sanitized!

A 3 egg omelet? That must have been huge!
Every now and then I like to splurge on make-up, but I just don’t wear it very often. I tell myself that if I wore it everyday, people wouldn’t notice when I was trying to be all fancy-pants on special occasions. – G

I thought the omelet would be big but it didn’t seem to be. Or maybe I was just super hungry!
I’m just too lazy to get up and give myself the time to put makeup on. But I’ve noticed if I wear it more my face doesn’t break out as often. So I’m putting forth more effort.

Im not a big egg eater myself. Foe some reason they always make me feel a little sick.

The smell of them cooking while being scrambled makes me gag.
And it kind of squiks me out that I’m eating a chicken’s period.

Good for you and the Atkins Diet. I did that one on and off years ago and really liked it. It was very satisfying, though probably not the Healthiest Diet ever…But…It Works!
Love the Eye Shadow….such pretty colors…It’s like painting!

Yeah, the diet is working and I’m really liking feeling better. It’s nice to take the stairs at work and not hear my knees creak the whole time!

Don’t think you could fry those bitches up? If you’re brave enough one breakfast, (I recommend a bloody mary if you are feeling doubtful), give this a try:
Scott’s Fried Eggs*
————————–
1-2 Eggs
1 Tbl butter
Some sunflower seeds
Seasoning salt (salt and pepper is fine)
Some hot sauce
Get the frying pan nice and hot. Add and boss the butter around the pan until its melted. Crack your eggs into the pan. Sprinkle some sunflower seeds over the eggs. Keep the eggs from sticking to the bottom with a spatula. When the eggs have gone white and can support their own weight if you lift them up with the spatula, flip them over. Here’s the really fun part, and I think it might appeal to you: Use the spatula to press down pretty firmly on the tops of the eggs – especially around the edges. If you’re lucky, they’ll scream like a little pig (so take out some of your ‘egg trauma’ aggression on them!). This also breaks the yolk (if it hasn’t already) and will cook it so it wont be runny – blek. Sprinkle some more sunflower seeds on this side (less this time) and press them into the egg with the spatula. Finally flip them back over to the first side when its nice and golden. Add some seasoning salt, some hot sauce and enjoy.
Congrats on the 26 pounds!
I like the eyeshadow.

Glad you added this. I actually do eat the shells. So this extra step is important.

I do eat the shells too, but in this situations, probably super bad!

I’ll bookmark this and maybe, someday, I will try it.
Frying eggs….I’m terrified of undercooked things and I’m afraid if it’s not scrambled up that I’ll find a gooey part, eat it and die from salmonella.

Seriously – fry them until you are good and happy with them being of such a superior cooked’ness that you can eat them.
I have found that of all of the “cooked” egg experiences – this once seems to taste like the most “cooked”. I actually like them super well done, so push them them to the limit! Turn them into leather if you have to! Just don’t burn the *shelled* sunflower seeds :)
If you even do take this recipe on, let me know what you think (and don’t discount the soothing effects of an early morning bloody mary :)

You can trust him on this one. It’s a good recipe. Unique, and not to egg-y. :)

Okay, him saying that I could cook them into leather reassures me.
And I’d really love to make an egg scream like a little pig.

When I had the experience, I was fortunate enough to hear the screaming. It is as amusing as you might think. :)

What is that weird picture that is showing up as a icon for me? Is it a chicken? Is it toast?
