My standard trick is to put on some oatmeal on medium heat, to cook while I run back to the bedroom to get dressed. Very efficient, doing a second task while the first one bubbles away. Alas, I get trapped in the Nothing To Wear black hole that is my closet [even though it is bulging at the seams.] After trying on, and discarding, in disgust, my fourth outfit [only on days I work!] my sensitive nose sniffs the air, and with an "Oh expletive deleted!" I sprint to the kitchen, to hear the dry crackle of my abused one quart saucepan....I usually have to soak it for a week.....I am so glad to know there are kindred spirits out there!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-82996810742871219012011-01-24T21:38:51.052+00:002011-01-24T21:38:51.052+00:00I too read Jane's blog and popped over to read...I too read Jane's blog and popped over to read your egg story!

I use a very similar method to make tea. Except there is no way to tell that the water has boiled away until my teenage daughter wanders into the kitchen for a soda.
