What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
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!!!
