    I see his hands…I see how stiff he is and my heart breaks knowing he must wake up in pain and yet he gets up, he keeps going and I don’t know. Sigh. I’m sure he misses his wife but I’m also certain he knows his daughter and granddaughter love him too. I hate the idea of him being alone…there’s something about those hands. So strong and skilled, seeing his veins and the fragility belying so much dexterity it just wrecks me.
    His elbows and shoulders too. I tell myself he’s okay with what time has done, he’s (by objective standards) had a great life, I hope and pray he feels at ease with time.

    • @TadRaunch

    • @julespasquier337
      @julespasquier337 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I imagine it is because a chilled raw egg is a denser liquid than a warmer one, so will spread out less rapidly in the water, making for a tighter shape. And the vinegar is to denature the outer proteins of the albumen so it solidifies quickly. Why room temp eggs can also work is because it takes less heat to get them to solidify, so I imagine the options are purely effective based on other points in technique. Freshness of the egg I think is more significant but I could be wrong.
