I was sitting here thumbing through a copy of the March 2008 edition of Better Homes and Gardens when I came across this “article” in the sidebar. It is from the book Anyone Can Cook by Better Homes and Gardens.
Get Crackin’
Reveal your “eggs-pertise” when recipes call for the versatile ingredient. To crack an egg, tap it firmly on the countertop or on the edge of a bowl. Use your thumbs to separate the shell, being careful not to let any shell break off into the egg.To separate yolk from white, use an egg separator or a slotted spoon. When recipes call for beaten eggs, place eggs in a bowl. Beat with a fork until pale yellow with no streaks of white or yolk.
OK. Are you serious? No. Really. Are you serious? No. Really.
This makes me wonder what the demographic is for Better Homes and Gardens readers.
Horaayy..there are 4 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Gah! I guess the warning sign should’ve been the horrible pun in the first sentence. Either BH&G has really sound demographics, or we should all just weep for the future.
So, ah, what’s your problem with BHG?
I think it’s good that I finally, after 70 years, learned the proper method of cracking an egg.
I had been using fingers as well as thumbs; never again.
I am reborn! Now if I only had some eggs.
In the March issue, page 196, the family health article by Doug Donaldson, it states that you should get a better dishrag. What an expression. I haven;t heard that for 40 years at least. I use a dish cloth and wipe the dishes with a dish towel. I never use rags. It made me shudder to hear it.
