Me: How did you make the Hollandaise sauce at Christmas?
Jimmy: *explains process by which he made sauce in a way much less complicated than those I had seen before*
Me: So it's not that hard? I was thinking maybe we could have Eggs Benedict sometimes on weekends or something, if they're not too much more work than just poaching eggs.
Jimmy: Sure.
Me: I think the only complicated bit is separating the yolks, really...
Jimmy: No, don't we have a thing for that?1 *makes an exaggerated sad face*
Me: Oh, right! The thing! *makes same face*
Jimmy: The sad guy. *thoughtful pause* I think I'd be really sad, too, if someone was pouring eggs into my head.
1We have a ceramic egg separator with a face on it that looks rather distressed. The egg whites come out of the open mouth while the yolk stays inside the head, as it were.
