                I will! And this is the time to visit BHC - not August (are you listening, Lauren?) or September (PJ, got that?) - as the temp is a delightful 70°F! The only hazard today is from the 30 mph winds we had yesterday, and pray they don't reappear today. Oh, that and being trampled by a screaming horde of toddlers rushing pell mell to corner the market on colorful plastic eggs stuffed with cheap toys.:-D David Stone wrote: [Cheshire] Oh they will be... :laugh::laugh: Love it! At Ace Hardware I got a kick out of telling customers that those plastic covers kept stray electrons from leaking out into the carpet, reducing electric bills and the risk of static shocks from shuffling across the living room in fuzzy bunny slippers. It's tragic that so many Americans are ignorant of science, but the situation does present some excellent entertainment opportunities.;) "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

                  I've been cooking all my life, and I'm told that I'm quite good at it. But I've not hard-boiled an egg in many years, and I have a little girl coming to stay the night who expects to dye some eggs for Easter. I seem to remember that you're supposed to start them out in cold water, but I don't remember how long to let them boil. I'm picking her up at 3, and it's almost 9 here - Help!!!:-O "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

                  Too late now, but for next time consider just blowing out the inside of the egg. We used to do it when I was a kid and the best part is that they can keep the egg they decorate. Found a link here to a guy who spent a lot of time perfecting it, but we used to just blow them out with two holes and no high tech instruments at all: http://www2.gsu.edu/~biojdsx/fowl/egg.htm[^]

                    More is better, eh? I've had hard boiled eggs so hard and rubbery that they're hardly fit to eat - I wonder how long they were cooked. "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

                    Strange. I once put half a dozen eggs on the stove to hard-boil, set the timer on the stove for 5.5 minutes (my preferred cooking time after raising to a boil from cold for "picnic eggs"), went upstairs and forgot about them. I never heard the timer. I "remembered" about them when I heard the first egg expolde after all the water had boiled away. Of course I was planning to throw them out but I was curious enough to shell one of the surving eggs first to see what it was like. Apart from a little grey boundary between yolk and white it didn't look to bad so I ate it. It was not noticably different than one cooked for about 10 minutes in boiling water. I threw the rest out anyway as I don't really enjoy 10-minute eggs. Steve T

                      A little late but use for future reference. Boil the water and when the water is boiling drop the eggs in. Hard boiled egges come after 7 minutes after the water is boiling. Or if you put the eggs in at the beginning the seven minutes start when the water has come to a complete boil.
