That sounds lovely. (ETA Both of those!)
I need to learn how to hard boil eggs. Following the recipe does not seem to work.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Got my traditional thai drunken noodles, tom ka gai and fresh spring roll. First year I haven't needed it for its sinus clearing properties!
Headed over to my neighbors' in an hour or two. We'll watch the city fireworks from the field.

I need to learn how to hard boil eggs.
I bring water to a boil, put the eggs in while turning the water down to a very low simmer, and leave them in there for about 10/11 minutes. That usually works pretty well. What are you doing?

Hubby's making meatloaf. I wonder if he'll be able to find lamb, again. I love his meatloaf.

I should go look at my closet and figure out an outfit but really I want to go sit on the couch and watch some of my shows I have stacked up. People aren't going to be here to go out until 8:45. Maybe I have time?

lisah, I put the eggs in cold water, bring to not quite a boil (this is probably where I get into trouble, but that's what several otherwise trustworthy sources recommend), take it off the heat and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then cool the eggs in an ice water bath (or just cool water, whatever), start peeling and, hey, these are not cooked eggs. Opaque but liquid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'd do a rolling boil before turning them off, and it should work.

OK, next time. These cookbook authors seem awfully concerned that I don't overcook my eggs, but I don't think I care.
This time I've already just started over from the beginning and am back up to cooling, but since one is already cracked open I can see that the white is firmer.

I should make egg salad. Egg salad makes me happy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm having pork chops and brussels sprouts, and I got myself a honey and lemon cupcake for afterwards.
