Focused Polly is focused.
Is he making eye contact or not? Hmm.
I have one of those egg cookers! I absolutely love it for hard or soft boiled eggs, it’s one of the best kitchen gadgets I own. I also have egg cups for serving soft-cooked eggs. I did have a gadget for cutting the top of the egg off, but it didn’t work well. Never had an egg spoon, though! I guess maybe my mother being 3/4 German might have something to do with this.
Love the house with all the built-ins and possible potato shed.
Haunted mansion is quite lovely, but I’ll pass on the mermaid.
I’d been wondering how long the penny would keep getting made. And while I don’t usually read the comments section in posts like that, I found one comment to make a whole lot of sense: “‘this costs more than one cent to make’ […] has always been nonsense to me. Infrastructure, of which the penny is a part of, costs money.”
I poke holes in my egg shell before boiling (and I have a dedicated egg cooker steam thingy) but sometimes I forget and it doesn’t always seem to make a difference.
That gender reveal party is a lot more fun than I had expected. LOVE IT. And yeah, that horse is an Arabian, and purebread show-quality Arabians are pricey enough that I’m not surprised her owners are this silly about it.
We only have egg slicers, you need egg slicers
