Slow Foodie: Tips for the Incredibly Laid-Back

Tip #5: The Art of Waiting for the Perfectly Cooked Egg.

It's all about patience, my friend. You see, a perfectly cooked egg is not just a matter of throwing some eggs in the microwave and hoping for the best. No, no, no. It's a delicate dance of waiting, watching, and praying to the culinary gods.

The Waiting Game

We're not talking about just 5 minutes or 10 minutes, no, we're talking 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. You get the picture. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You must be willing to sacrifice your precious time for the sake of culinary perfection.

So, here's the deal. Set your timer for 20 minutes and start counting down. As the seconds tick by, imagine the egg getting closer and closer to its perfect doneness. The anticipation is almost too much to bear. Almost.

The Art of Distraction

But, what to do while you wait? Well, my friend, you have a few options:

• Watch paint dry
• Count the grains of sand in the hourglass of time
• Try to solve world hunger using only a toaster and a toaster oven

Or, you know, you could just check your email. Or scroll through Instagram. Or play some cat videos. You know, just to pass the time.

But, remember, the clock is ticking, and that egg is getting closer and closer to being... well, not overcooked.

So, stay focused, my friend. Stay focused.
