The perversity of food

I learned this from my grandmother. Works every time. Put eggs in pot of water. Bring to boil. Remove from heat and cover. Let cook for 7 minutes. Empty water and run cold over eggs. Then remove eggs and put in another bowl with cold water. Ready to use after 30 minutes or so. Works all the time.

Now I want a deviled egg! Ha.

Well, now you have your plans for the next little while, right?  

Will have to make some tomorrow as dinner is already planned. If I eat an egg now, won't be able to eat dinner.  It is still a little strange to be able to eat so little. Most of the time I like it! 

This works for me every time.

Boil water first then gently place eggs in boiling water. Boil 12-14 mins then run cold water on them. Always peel perfect and bright yellow yolk. 

This is how I do it!

Old eggs peel better than newer eggs. Something about the oxygen getting between the eggy bits and the membrane.  

I eat a **** ton of eggs.  Usually scrambled, but i often boil a dozen and just leave them in the fridge.  My hubby and kids love to eat them as snacks, and they are always a fast option for me if I'm running like a mad woman, which is my usual state these days.

Baaahaha!  You have a fantastic way with words

Thank you. Writing and storytelling is something of a hobby for me. And ever since I was a kid, I was the class clown. 

Oh Little Bill - you are hilarious!   The sad part is that it is not perverse! Murphy's law happens a lot - so does scheming lol.

I have a great little trick for you since I've been boiling eggs for years. Take the eggs and put one in each cup of a muffin tin.  Only have to put in as much as you want. Put in oven at 325 degrees for 30 mins. Take out and put in cold or iced water. Eggs are perfectly cooked and not bad to peel.

Enjoy your egg salad & your deviled eggs lol!
