Oh my gosh! I stop in my tracks this morning while preparing breakfast when Maisie Dobbs, Psychologist and Investigator par excellence in the crime novel I'm listening to via audiobook, says to her companion, "I believe I may have over-egged the pudding."
Over-egged the pudding!
I love me a good idiom, and I am particularly enchanted by British ones.
This over-egging-the-pudding idiom exquisitely captures the downfall of many a painting that is spoiled in process by an artist's trying too hard to improve it.
…
And by artist I mean myself!
There may be just a wee bit too much egg in this very pudding right here. Just sayin'.
