Hot Enough... by peggysirk

Hot Enough...

to fry an egg on the sidewalk. It took about 90 minutes in 98 degree (37C) heat and a few questions from by-passers and neighbors...but it cooked. Some days I obviously have too much time on my hands. :)
Yummy! Love the texture Peggy!

Ha - worth it though!! You'll be putting your eye out with a pencil next (no don't!!!)

The fact you took time to do this when I have always wanted to makes me just love this!!!

This is amazing Peggy !! You actually fried an egg on the pavement, I would never have thought it possible !! It must be so hot there ..did you eat it ? !!!!

Oh Peggy! That's something I have always wanted to see done. Great job - it's 102 here in Richmond. We went to the pool for about 2 hours but all agreed it was just too darn hot.

@happypat Not a chance that I would eat that, Pat! :) I was going to leave it for one of the many dogs being walked in the neighborhood...but I was afraid they might get salmonella or something from an undercooked egg that had been lying in the sun for hours and the ants were beginning to get ideas of their own. So I scooped it up, threw it away and hosed off the sidewalk. :)

@peggysirk Great idea though !!

Good one, Peggy! I fried one on the roof of our car once when it was 110 and it took only 7 minutes. Sounds, and looks, like you're having a great summer. Can't wait for ours.

Brilliant idea - made me laugh! Thanks.

Love that you got out and did this!!! maybe I should do it give my kids something to do this summer LOL
July 21st, 2011  
Ugh..this heat is unbelievable! Great idea and shot..lol

This shot tells me that it is TDH...too damn hot. I am going to enjoy every second of crisp fall weather (and then I'll start complaining that it's too cold and I can't wait for summer :)

It sure was...today I think we hit 98!!!! Great photo!

where is the bacon?

I can't believe it really cooked! I tried it a couple of days ago on my driveway and only got a mess! The big question is did you ear it? ;)

That would be "eat" it. I hate typing on my iPad.

beautiful photo - first time I saw that done was when I lived in NY City as a young man - temp hit 106F

@lisjam1 If the truth be known, this looks a lot more 'cooked' in the photo after a bit of processing than it did on the sidewalk. The very thin places around the edges did semi-cook but the center of the egg was pretty gooey. I think if I'd left it out another hour or two it might have solidified a little more. Eat it? ~ Not a chance! :)

Haha - love it!

Completely worth the time! What a great shot! The heat is bad where we are, but the humidity is dreadful!
July 22nd, 2011  
Now I've heard that many times but never knew anyone who attempted it..hmm good!
July 24th, 2011  
haha this made me laugh! :)

What a fun photo-op! I wouldn't have guessed it'd take that long. It's SOOOO hot out there.
July 26th, 2011  
lol!! I'm actually very surprised that it took that long for the egg to fry. It has been so incredibly hot. Great shot Peggy!!
July 26th, 2011  
we're having 101-107, I am not sure how long that would take but yes! you just may have a point about having too much time on your hands! Makes me wanna try it though. >; ) This such a fun shot!
July 26th, 2011  
Very fun idea, Peggy! And a wonderful photo out of it. Love the texture on the sidewalk.
