Ordinary Things. Life. Jazz. Food.

Engineering Requires Fuel

There comes a point in every engineering problem where the solution is no longer CSS.

It’s dinner.

I’ve spent half the evening arguing over fonts. Gill Sans is gorgeous, but the licensing is beyond our beggar, bounded budgets.

Bloody budding booming font budget.

And so it’s time for a little food.

Ordinary things deserve to be done well.

What Would Léon Do?

Oh, I apologize. You haven’t met.

Léon is The Beaumont Legacy’s main protagonist. He is very Lillois, a doctor of medicine, and his answer to our problem would be a triple-decker sandwich.

And coffee from the presser.

How Does It Work?

Take three slices of pain de mie.

Cut a hole in the middle slice.

Butter the pan generously.

Toast the first slice. Add mustard. Add mozzarella.

Then cook the middle slice as an egg-in-a-hole: bread in the pan, egg in the center, salt, pepper, patience.

Toast the third slice.

Stack the thing carefully:

• bottom toast,
• mozzarella,
• egg-in-a-hole,
• mozzarella,
• top toast.

Press gently.

Do not waste the cut-out center. Toast it. Dip it. Eat it.

This is engineering.

Back to Work

Well.

Time to get back to work.

Y’all are waiting for the game, aren’t you?
