After travelling to the Czech Republic this summer, I assuage withdrawal with Czech phrases.
And enjoy overplaying how much I miss a location.
Actually, I'm glad to be wherever I am--that is, whatever physical location. But that doesn't mean my life is divided into eras, though it can feel that way.
I'd like to fluidify things--starting with that word.

again, sorry is yolks disgust you.
To expand on my "eggs as pancake garnish" tip, I'd like to extend a question to you: How do you make the "perfect" sunny-side-up egg? Keep in mind, this is a form-specific question.
For example, I fry eggs with a lid on top--makes the yolk desirably runny, in my opinion. Recommended.
