Ode to Julia

Hello Ladies

For my last post I wanted to write something about MTAOFC. I went to Chapters to purchase the book, but it was unfortunately way beyond my book budget for November, perhaps another month. Anyhow, I wanted to include something in the blog from her so I started searching online and I came across this, “How to Boil an Egg”.

I thought to myself, everyone knows how to boil an egg, funny that Julia would feel the need to explain this. Turns out, I have been boiling wrong my entire adult life. So for all 0f you who may be boiling wrong as well, here it goes.

Place room temperature eggs into a pot. (this is so the yolk is in the center, cold eggs have yolks that have migrated somewhere else in the egg, who knew!)
Cover with water
Place pot on stove on high
Bring to a rolling boil
Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes
Remove from water
Allow to cool to room temperature before peeling

And voila! The perfect hard egg!

I have tried this several times now (as Abby eats an egg every other day) and it works every time. Thanks Julia for setting me straight.

Enjoy!

p.s. I just wanted to add a thank you, I am sure that you are all well aware of my colossal anxiety when it comes to writing anything. I get the shakes, stomach ache, nauseous, start crying etc. But I feel that this blogging may have helped ease the whole process. Not that I am going to write anything any time soon, God no, it is just nice to be able to write like a normal human, thanks everyone!
