If you want to make an omelette...





I went through a phase in my adult life, of not being able to make a clean break of it...where raw eggs were concerned, anyway. I either would not strike the egg hard enough against the bowl's or counter's edge, or I would strike it too sharply and wind up with a crackly mess dripping down my palm. Finally I developed a "Rap. Tap! Crack!!!" approach that over time has become second nature.The other day I decided to try to break an egg without all the fan fare of the contrived running start. Could not do it. It's back to timidity or tyranny. Third option? "Rap. Tap! Crack!!!"
