What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
Great tips and that looks awesome. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've found that if you add some baking soda to the cooking water, it helps the peels come off nice and easy.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great tip. I do something super similar but I put the eggs in the water and wait for them to boil. Then when they boil I turn off the water and set the timer for 20 min. If I let it go too long then it can get green. You know why it does that? I guess if you have too much iron or something in your water it does that. Weird.
ReplyDeleteAnywho I will definitely try the 4 min next time. Thanks.
And don't feel bad about the egg. I read somewhere that you can eat up to one egg with the yolk a day and be fine.
HUGE!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Hubby & I live overseas at the moment (his job) and have not had decent (i.e. cooked through and through) since living here. That's three + years. I have sooo missed them that we broke down and got Eggies at a local store. They were rather tedious (i.e. quite a bit of work), but they worked. We used them only once, but did about a dozen. I have wanted to do 6 here and there, but didn't want the hassle. Then.....I came across your blog. I tend to read from the beginning of blogs and if I don't like the writing a month (per the blog that is) in, I stop reading. Since this is comment #2 (rare for me), I have to say, I like your writing. (Nope, don't give random compliments either).
OK...random rabbit trail....anywho....
When I read this post a couple hours ago, I figured....why not. I have 6 eggs in the fridge that want to go bad soon, so what's the harm? Well, just shelled and cut in half the first of those. OMStars! It was perfect!!! Granted, I tweaked your directions a tad. I started out with eggs in pot, added cold water, & boiled for 5 minutes (which USED to work before this country/house), but then....20 minutes later. *Sigh Perfect light yellow fluffy center. My taste buds thank you!!!
