I love technology. Gadgets! Vivien Send a noteboard - 27/12/2011 05:27:19 PM
It will come in handy when I go on road trips to new places, such as my planned trip to the Gulf of Mexico and the Grand Canyon in 2012.

I didn't ask for it (I only asked for a hand mixer and an egg separator so I could make lemon meringue pie), but my dad has a GPS unit of his own and figured I should have one too. So that was a nice surprise.


GPS is awesome and only after they became commonplace could I even imagine myself driving. (That takes one worry factor out of the equation). I actually love the maps and gps feature on my phone. Thas was one of the reasons I really wanted a smartphone. I would hate getting lost and I'd have to carry diagrams of neighborhoods but now that I have my phone I don't have to worry about getting lost ever again. Driving with my sister somewhere is also less scary because although she hates even the idea of GPS she can't stop me using my smartphone.

Did you get your egg separator? Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 04:38:04 PM 1283 Views
I did! Nate - 27/12/2011 05:08:36 PM 1383 Views
Oh. Well it's probably for the best then. Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 05:17:44 PM 1208 Views
Ha! Just make sure you wash your eggs before cracking them. Vivien - 27/12/2011 05:33:52 PM 1260 Views
Use caution when washing eggs... Avendesora - 27/12/2011 08:50:37 PM 1352 Views
What? Why would you wash an egg? I've never heard of this. *NM* Tim - 27/12/2011 11:33:57 PM 737 Views
This is news to me too. Nate - 28/12/2011 12:30:00 AM 1302 Views
Ha, don't listen to me, I know nothing about this. Vivien - 28/12/2011 01:36:34 AM 1265 Views
Aha. That makes sense. Nate - 28/12/2011 05:26:47 AM 1360 Views
That's a relief. You can't eat raw egg in this country anyway, so I don't need to change any habits. Tim - 28/12/2011 10:37:47 AM 1171 Views
Is there a law? Nate - 28/12/2011 03:29:39 PM 1268 Views
What I mean is that everybody considers it unsafe to eat raw eggs. Tim - 28/12/2011 06:37:17 PM 1218 Views
I didn't know that. Nate - 28/12/2011 07:54:37 PM 1309 Views
It is suggested in the US that you cook the yolk to solid too. Avendesora - 30/12/2011 11:58:10 AM 1190 Views
That sounds ridiculously over-cautious to me. Tim - 30/12/2011 05:48:56 PM 1242 Views
I love a runny yolk myself. Vivien - 30/12/2011 06:28:49 PM 1041 Views
