Dan and I both love our work and our industry. Given that, we talk a disproportionate amount of "shop." Last night he was thumbing through one of my bar books (The Art of the Bar--click the title for the webpage) and discovered it talked about a bartender's mise en place (which he thought was amusing and implied that a mise en place is a cook thing only :-P Be certain that I set him straight on that). Somehow, while I was explaining how the art of mixology is rather like a mix between cooking and chemistry, he started talking about cooking eggs. I really can't tell you the contents of the conversation past his remark that "Eggs can smell fear."

He was utterly confused by my laughter and subsequent, "Since when did eggs become sentient beings capable of knowing when the person cooking them is terrified of destroying them?"

I'm not sure I will ever let him live it down.

Now it's time to finish getting ready for work :-P

I find it amusing you explain the most fundamental function of hypertext documents. Since not that many people clicked a hyperlink before. :)

:-P I do it for a pretty specific reason, though ;-) Once upon a time my link color and my text color were the same, and I hate having full addresses hanging around my page if I want them inside a body of text, and you couldn't tell what the links were if you were on my main journal page. It never really occurred to me, for whatever reason, that not everybody was reading my journal through their f'list and own specified colors (for example, I have family members not on LJ who read my journal through the littlelotte.livejournal.com address). The colors are still pretty similar (because I like my text at least mostly uniform color), and I do it to make certain that everybody will catch it regardless of how they have their own colors set up and their visual sensitivity to shade differences.
