| 0:27.2 | Tap now, I've taken up upon myself recently to have a boiled egg in the morning. I'm actually having two. |
| 0:36.3 | I don't know why. I suppose it's winter and I thought I'd do that. |
| 0:39.9 | But now the boiled-ed-experience is so easy with the cooking. You just walk over. You fill the pan up with |
