Tonight I showed how new I am to this whole cooking thing. Thankfully there was one more piece of cheesecake in my fridge.

Everyone always brings up eggs, but I don't for the life of me know how to crack those.

Wash hands. Hold over bowl, whack with the back of a knife. Stick thumbs in crack, open egg, drop in bowl. Pick out any pieces of shell you dropped in the egg. There are fancier ways, but this one is easy to learn. A little shell won't hurt you. New York Times cookbook has something like 3 pages on "how to scramble an egg" - I found it a good start when I was learning decades ago. It was the right amount of detail for an engineering mentality.

My mysophobia kicks in hard at "stick thumbs in crack", which is the main issue here.

I've tried that and never been able to pull it off. I would just much rather skip the eggs at this point.

It takes some practice (maybe a couple dozen eggs in one day), but you should be able to get to the point where you tap it on a flat surface to crack it, and then you pull the shells (not at the crack) to seperate. If done right, you should never touch the yolk. I don't cook, but I've had to bake many cakes for bake sales.
