Non-stick Nirvana

Okay, I may need to get out more but scrambling eggs this morning in my new non-stick frying pan just eclipsed the recent presidential campaigns on my list of "Most Memorable Events".  I awakened this morning to a daunting "To-do" list that contained fully half of yesterday's unfinished list and I almost crawled back under the covers.  Then I remembered that I had a new skillet to try out and the resulting burst of energy left me reeling.


I decided that the skillet must prove itself worthy of inhabiting cabinet space and gleefully pulled the egg carton out of the fridge.  After all, I had bought it at a local discount-outlet-catchall store and couldn't be sure of its pedigree. I also wanted to use the pan before the kids got to it first.


Well I can happily report that the eggs slid from pan to plate like water off a duck's back, hence the non-stick nirvana experience. Clean-up took just a couple minutes; not so with the cheese grits in the adjacent pot.  I have chosen not to dwell on that, however. 


I will instead take every opportunity to gaze upon the pristine surface of my new pan and be reminded that sometimes in life, a problem can turn out to be not such a big deal after all. Don't get stressed out, do something.


Why are you still standing there? Go ahead and splurge on that upgrade; you'll be glad that you did.  Now maybe you'll have time for a little rest and relaxation.   If only someone would invent a non-stick coating for one's life.
