Ci voli furtuna macari a friiri ’n’ovu!
“It takes luck even just to fry an egg”
It might seem like a small thing to fry an egg, doesn’t it? You take a pan, put a drizzle of oil, heat it up, take an egg, crack it open and let it fry in the typical “fried egg” shape – simple right? But nothing is more true than the saying “It takes luck even to fry an egg”, because in everything you do you need luck, because even the simplest things can be complicated, just like frying eggs! In fact, just an unfortunate blow with a fork is enough to break the yolks and turn everything into an omelette!
