On Networking and Being an Airhead

  “On Networking and Being an Airhead” by Allison Louise Miller Is this what networking means? Sometimes I think of people as angelic sleeper agents, like a "good version" of Agent Smith from The Matrix . You're walking around on a crowded Portland street, people have earbuds and antennae coming out of their heads, they’re staring at screens, and then, suddenly, someone is possessed by a rare enthusiasm–an outburst of JOY, an invitation to CONNECT. When you happen to witness and sometimes share these outbursts, the spirit that overcomes you in such a moment is just that–momentary. Ephemeral.

Eggs Benedict Wong

     I make these little breakfast sandwiches sometimes, when I'm feeling like Eggs Benedict but don't have the energy to poach eggs or make Hollandaise, or when I feel like pizza but it's breakfast time. Crossing the streams can cause a paradox, so never make regular little pizzas or Mexican pizzas before noon.

     They're just toasted English muffins, buttered and topped with fluffy scrambled egg, a tomato, and a small handful of Italian mix cheese. Place that under the broiler in a hot oven for as little as five minutes if your oven is very hot. Always keep an eye on these the first time you make them, because the window between just right and burned is pretty narrow when you have ADHD.

     I typically serve this with a small side salad of tender spinach, kosher salt, EVOO, and fresh squeezed lemon juice. If I don't have fresh, I'll use infused vinegar. You could also serve a small fruit salad or yogurt and berry smoothie. I usually just have a morning mushroom and collagen fortified latte with my good friend.
