Rather then go into the really difficult week I have been having I thought I would share how to perfectly boil an egg. If nothing else is going right it is nice to know that you can at least have a perfectly boiled egg.
Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Place eggs in pan with an inch of cold water covering the eggs.
Bring to a hard boil.
When it is boiling hard (you know this because it is actively bubbling like crazy) take the pan off of the heat and let sit for exactly 10 minutes.
Then plunge the eggs in cold water to stop the cooking process.
The reason of course is that you are avoiding that unattractive green/grey on the yolk. When that occurs I assume that you have overcooked the egg and then your yolks will be cake like rather then creamy.
Eggs, a perfect food for an imperfect world.
