Taking a break after lunch (baby back ribs and potato salad, btw), I sat down at the computer to watch a few short videos and algorithm put me on some videos on frying eggs.
Really? There are people mystified about how to fry and egg? I learned to fry eggs the minute after I learned to fry bacon. Probably at age nine or ten. A hot pan, steel or cast iron, a little oil, and crack an egg into the hot oil. Leave it alone for a bit, it's fine. When the egg is mostly done, turn it over, or not. Either way.
Seriously, do that many people have trouble cooking an egg?

People have trouble with the egg sticking. Lots of fat, enough heat. And a little spatula skill.
I know some folks who had trouble turning the stove on, much less boil water. And they both had PhDs. Me? I was stirring gravy when I was young enough to have to stand on a chair by the stove to do it. I think Heinlein got it right with his observation about insects and humans.
Speaking of ribs, Super 1 has loinback ribs on sale $1.77/lb, limit 2 packs.
There are whole generations coming of age that have never cooked. And when I say 'cooked', I mean heat-up a can of spaghetti-o's! Frozen pizza is elaborate. They eat from gas-stations and plastic bags, maybe a micro-wave burrito. The industrious one's learn how to make Ramen noodles.
