eggs are most delicious when least touched by fire (so poached, sunny side up, etc declining in quality to over easy, hard boiled). this is because fire cleanses the egg of sin (primary source of flavor). this is also why the objectively most delicious egg is soft boiled (hardened purified exterior traps the delicious sin inside the soft gooey interior), and why scrambled eggs are morally ambiguous

couple things

deviled eggs are delicious bc, while hard boiled/cleansed of sin, as the name implies the sin has been artificially added back in (via mayonnaise)

raw eggs are indeed the Most Delicious, which is why consuming them inflicts divine punishment (salmonella) unless they have received exorcism (pasteurization)

rotten eggs smell like that bc the sin has been absolved. as with most things in life, the church is to blame

Literally always take headphones with you. If you decide that you probably won't need them today, that's the devil talking. You will. You will

A lot of people don't seem to know this but you need to wash your reusable water bottles, especially if they're plastic. Yes, even if you only put plain water in them and nothing else. They can and will accumulate bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that you'll end up drinking. If you don't wash your water bottle regularly (AT LEAST once a week, more often if it's plastic or if you use it frequently), then there's a very good guarantee that the inside is slimy to the touch (biofilm) or there's mold accumulation around the inside of the lid and in the straw if you have one.

Also buy a straw brush and wash your straws thoroughly every time you wash the bottle.

I hope you enjoy/are enjoying Cenerentola! It’s not… the most innovative WTO production I’ve seen (I think part of that is on Rossini’s overly-long arias as well as on the director) but it has some fun business, and if nothing else there are at least The Dresses. By intermission you will know the ones to which I am referring.

it was super fun!! my friend and i were cackling throughout. i agree it's not the most innovative/groundbreaking production but also i don't really expect that from a rossini buffo. i expect something really fun and funny, and by that measure, i think it absolutely succeeds. and while it's definitely long and rossini's arias (and especially ensembles lol) Go On Quite A Bit, i think if the cast and direction had any less energy that it did, it would have reeeaally dragged. as it was, though, i found it never overstayed its welcome. everyone (except maybe cenerentola herself, and ramiro like half of the time) was so exaggerated and cartoony and campy it was just really entertaining. and shoutout to the male chorus actually, they sang well and had (surprisingly) (delightfully) a ton of acting/reacting to do and i do not think the show would have been the same without them and their over-the-top-ness. really hard for me to pick a favorite but i think magnifico and dandini were the standouts for me, though tisbe and clorinda were also a riot, alidoro had some great "get-a-load-of-this-guy-cam" moments (plus an impressive bass for a young artist), and ramiro pulled out those insane high notes in act ii (cannot fucking IMAGINE having to sing that role when larry fucking brownlee is in the audience but he kind of killed it. good for him). really i think cenerentola herself was the weakest link (not that she was bad per se, though her low range was too quiet), but the libretto honestly doesn't give her much to work with in terms of like, standing out as an interesting character when everyone else onstage is a fucking looney tune.

and also, Yes, oh my gd, The Dresses indeed
