me:75% < wife:100%

So we are now 75% through our PCP. Or we have 25% more to go. However we look at it, there is still more to do, and not much time left; it is not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.

During these past 68 days I have struggled hopelessly to make the perfect hard-boiled egg.

And failed.

On a whim, my wife -- love of my life, mother of my two awesome kids, reason for my existence -- decided to hard-boil some eggs.

They are perfect. PERFECT. The egg-white is tender and not overdone. The yolk is bright orange, a solid ball but not chalky and greenish-yellow. The shell simply falls off effortlessly, no cling, no mess.

*sigh*

One would think that after 15 years with this woman I would stop being surprised at her prowess over me in everything similar we attempt. Alas, I have so much more to learn. Specifically: her hard-boiled egg recipe!
