Egg Rings are the Work of Satan

Sometimes I think technology gets it wrong. I was confronted with this awful truth when I was frying up eggs this morning. I am a free range, free flowing egg user. I love cracking the egg on the edge of the frypan and watching the egg spread out over the bottom in a freeform shape. I love the skill it takes getting egg to plate without it breaking. I can enjoy my morning meal comforted in the knowledge that I am a great cook and I have the egg wrangling skills to prove it. The one thing that jars this morning ritual, is my family's insistence on the use of the egg ring. For some reason known only to them (and whomever it was that created that horrid thing) Fried eggs have to be perfectly circular. They don't cook right, you can't get the horrid things off, and they just make the whole thing look wrong.

Make my life easier by science please. But don't mess with my food. Leave my eggs free form, I don't want square watermelons, and please, keep the melon baller far, far away from me.
