Hump Day Poll: Hobbies
My mom had a ton of hobbies. She was a scrapbooker , cardmarker, diamond art maker, slot machine jockey, bingo player, cross stitcher , occasional sewing thrown in when I was a kid to save money. She loved being creative. I also love being creative but haven't done much on that front. I suppose you could say my Etsy shop is about as creative as I've gotten lately but hobbies that become something you depend on money for, it becomes less fun and more job. (Not that that's producing anything right now anyway since I've not done a single thing with it yet this year because of the house chaos but I digress.) I have this bad habit of going full force into ideas and pooping out on them. I still have a bin full of stuff to make risers for stuff like soap, tea kettles , etc waiting for me to do something with them. I have drawers full of stuff for craft projects that rarely get touched and then inherited a bunch of Mom's stamps and card m...
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!!!
