To expect DH to do this for me

[TheMustressMhor]

Every weekend DH cooks breakfast.

And every weekend my fried egg is too hard.

I only like dippy eggs. If he's going to go to the trouble of cooking bacon, black pudding, square sausage, mushrooms, eggs and toast, he could at least get the eggs right.

AIBU to expect him to take more care?

I would love a husband like yours to cook for me at the weekend! Perhaps cook your own egg?

I sent my crumpets-in-bed back this morning because DH had undercooked them. He was happy to oblige. I’d do the same for him.

The “dippy” description could be assumed to be a soft boiled egg, a soft poached egg or a runny fried egg. It’s unclear.

In the Frangipani house "dippy eggs" is used interchangeably to mean fried or boiled.

Poached are always poached because runny is THE ONLY way to have poached eggs so no need for a descriptor

Eggsemplary thread people! I am enjoying it.

@FrangipaniBlue also true for fried! Although I suppose some might like their yolks cooked through- not me though.

Sometimes, no matter how good the cook, there's always that one thing a person can't cook. I can't cook steak, so do always does it. I think you need to step in with the eggs.

Why are you putting up with this awful behaviour, let alone facilitating it?

I have wondered, believe you me. I attribute it to Stockholm Syndrome.

And idleness. I'm too lazy to kick the bugger out.

There is nothing so sad as opening a boiled egg/cutting into a poached/fried egg with feelings of joyous optimism (and a toast solider/forkful of potato cake) to be faced with an undippable egg yolk.

It's heartbreaking

You are so right DeRigueur. There are fewer things more distressing.

Possibly the death of Bambi's mother.

I really funny at how this is unreasonable

When I cook for DP I take account of how he likes his food, he does the same for me. What's the problem?

@FrangipaniBluever fried one!

@Frangipani I almost envy you . . . you have the delights of a perfectly fried egg ahead of you, like a little cloud of white and bright yellow heaven . . .

I, personally, like to have the fat (Lard for preference) very, very hot indeed, and then slip the egg/s in (one is never enough, leaping back to avoid being immolated in the ensuing fatty volcano . . .

. . . the edges then go crispy and brown (rather like what I imagine the train of Miss Haversham's wedding dress would be like), and I turn the heat right down (or off) and gently spoon fat over the yolk which goes opaque as the white rapidly cooks, leaving a perfectly warmed 9but not hardened) yolk beneath.

. . . . Oh bugger - and now I want a fried egg sammich . . . .

i know! I dont know why i haven't, i can cook other types of eggs just have never fried one!

Sorry - my previous post was meant for babyshark, who posted the above - I have no idea what happened

Schaden that was beautiful...

Probably got the temperature too high. Low and slow is the motto when cooking eggs.

I fear with Schadenfreude’s post we’re getting into the realm of egg porn. At least it’s soft egg porn.

My DH always makes a perfect boiled egg for me for breakfast (I do cook at other times), lovely toast - and cold cup of tea. I want to kill him.

Dandy

Yabu and precious
Think of all the people who don't have anyone to cook any meal for them. And they have to do it all themselves

If you don't like something do it yourself

Awwww Schaden that was a love ode to eggs 😊
It has made me think i will try one tomorrow (now should i call the fire brigade now?!😂)

Gogolego and dont forget about all the poor people who dont have access to eggs. The op should just be glad she has eggs to eat no matter how they are cook!!

At least it’s soft egg porn.

I can’t do runny fried eggs. I’m always afraid they’re too cold/not right.

You could show him how it’s done?

But that’s the issue Mhor’s DH is forcing hard egg porn on her

I am going to start a new thread, entitled:

How Many People Think Mr. Mhor Is Imaginary?

And go from there, so to speak.

He is very busy at the moment, cooking the second breakfast of the weekend.

A man has arrived to clear the front garden prior to the slabs being laid (see other thread in which both Mr. Mhor and myself were lambasted).

I have made a clear request for a dippy egg. Mr. Mhor said, in response,

I'll do my best.

And he will. He always does his best.

So what if he can't calculate the number of slabs required for the patio? I couldn't either actually

So what if he cannot cook a dippy egg?

He is a very excellent husband in most respects.

Mhor discussion HERE

My first attempt at a fried egg! Verdict?

Mustress i wish you luck with you eggs! Awww at least he said he would try his best!

Fucksake BabyShark that is beyond words.

YANBU. I like weak tea. DP offers me tea, brings me strong tea. FOR THE LAST 14 YEARS (and yes, he knows I like weak tea).

If you're going to put the effort in, put the effort in.
