I’m Such an Egghead.

    Damn it.

    I know better.

    Lightly beaten eggs + heat (oh, like from hot butter, for example) = scrambled eggs.

    I was making a batch of my almost-too-good-to-eat Chewy Pecan Bars the other day (wait- I know that’s stupid- if something is too good to eat then by definition one should eat more of it) and made the rookie of all mistakes.  I added freshly melted butter (code for “SCALDING HOT BUTTER”) to my perfectly lightly beaten eggs, and imagine what happened?  Scrambola.

    (Frustration 101:  I actually did temper the eggs, or at least I tried to… I added a few tablespoons of the SCALDING HOT BUTTER to the eggs, thinking that the small amount wouldn’t actually scramble them [that’s what tempering is supposed to be, by the way… slowly increasing the heat of the very thing you don’t want to f up]… and I screwed it up anyway.)

    Oh yeah, I forgot that I added vanilla to the eggs, so when I had to throw out the scrambled concoction it was that much harder to do because vanilla isn’t exactly cheap.  Neither are cage-free-organic-omega-free-range-manicured-and-pedicured eggs.  Man.  Screwing up is expensive.
