Egg Whites and Sorrow

Why does everyone act like beating egg whites is the easiest thing ever? I have tried 3 times now and nothing works, not vinegar, not cream of tartar, not stupid damned stupid salt. Which is stupid. I attempted this recipe under the assumption that, despite my previous attempts, I, a novice could whip the egg snot into firm glorious white peaks. This false hope was sponsored by Jeff Potter’s Cooking for Geeks, which I love but raises my spirits only to let them fall like a young post-bac’s cheese and herb soufflé.
In other baking news, the secret to really fudgy brownies is an extra egg yolk. The more you know, am I right? I’m right.
