Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
The article appears to be a personal narrative about food safety, starting with a kitchen debate between the author and their wife about whether a cooked egg left overnight on the counter is still safe to eat. The author confidently argues that eggshells are impenetrable barriers made of calcium carbonate, suggesting the egg would be fine, but the content cuts off mid-sentence, indicating this is likely the beginning of a story about discovering the limitations of this assumption.
