Maybe that is why I developed a dislike for hard boiled eggs. I prefer
all styles of eggs to be barely cooked and have no qualms about eating
raw eggs in things like tira misu. I like fried eggs to be sunny side
up and snotty, maybe over very easy, by the yolks have to be runny. I
don't like omelets because they are usually just too darned cooked. My
son likes to come for brunch and cook scrambled eggs but I have to get
him to take my portion out of the pan while they are still wet and
shiny, which means a couple minutes before they are cooked enough for him.
