Eggs: My Arch Nemesis

There aren't too many foods that I hate to make. Some cooking processes are more pleasant than others, but it's usually true that the benefits of the final product far outweigh any unpleasantness inherent in the making of said dish.

...which is why the bane of my kitchen existence is not food, but paint. Egg tempera paint. I hate making it. It involves separating an egg by hand, which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't actually need the palms of my hands to do it. But in the interests of completely removing the white from the yolk, I have to immerse my hands in foul-smelling snot. And the stench lingers for days. DAYS!!
