a bird and eggs.

sorry--- stinky picture. (that's what you get when you say CHEESE! on the way to school in the morning).
just want you to know that i'm SEWING!!


i even cleaned my craft room yesterday!!  YAY!!
and, dare i say it, i may have finally gotten my laundry tamed.
it's been a month now and laundry hasn't drowned me ONCE.
13 years and i think i finally got it.
(i know, i'm a slow laundry learner...)

and, this is dumb... but i've been on a quest to learn how to cook a hard boiled egg that is easy to peel.
i HATE when you cook an egg and the shells all peel with the egg.
i even buy Eggland's Best eggs...
i'm serious about my eggs.

my red cookbook says

boil, turn it lower, and simmer for 16 minutes... then rinse with ice water.

i tried 3 different groups all cooked for 16 minutes.
1-cool in the pot
2-cool with cold water
3-cool with ice
i know, i'm dumb like that.
and.... with the initial peeling, group 1, the eggs that were still warm, peeled the best.
but, i haven't come to any final conclusions because, the next day, all the eggs still stuck to the shell a little bit.
my quest continues...
do you know how to cook a hard boiled egg that is easy to peel??
(i've even bought hard boiled eggs before... they are perfect and smooth, no shell-y peeled parts.)
Someone must know how to do it...

 

Now- I'm off to change a poopy diaper.  NOT my kids, my friend's little boy.  

Isn't it always harder to change someone elses poopy kid?? 

i know.  it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it...
