And if I see you selling your rebel flag over the internet and creating myths about how it's really all about your glorious lost cause and not about escaping from the house...
Heh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
the thing that's worked for me is to bring the water to a boil and then put the cold eggs in
Oh really? My inquiries into How to Cook Eggs have led me to believe that you start with eggs in cold water for hard-boiled and eggs in already hot water for soft-boiled. I haven't had consistent results with ease of peeling with any technique, really, but it's not a big concern of mine so I haven't focused on it.
Hey, I can control this thing with my phone. Cooking eggs with my phone right now AIFG! That's right 10 more minutes at 176 my pretties, and then we'll see how you peel.
Mycroft Mycroft Mycroft. I feel I should have words of wisdom for you, cat, but I do not.

Don't let Loki talk to Mycroft. Things will start getting broken ( and he'll still be an inside cat, just with a damp flank [though the lesson doesn't seem to be sinking in.])

Always Anti-fascist!
Of course, there are rebel flag folks here. And they are pretty much the disaffected losers you might expect. Someone allowed Bobby Jindal to write things? He sounds like he has a tag on his wrist to help get home every day.(So maybe he's not stupid--he just wants your attention if you are.) But even his mom doesn't think he could be President.

That is to say, then we'll put you in an ice bath for 15 minutes and THEN we'll see how you peel.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Hey all. Good new - didn't have to asked the dentist for pain meds, she had a script for Vicodin ready before I even thought about it. Bad news - 8 hours in the dentist chair. One extraction, temp bridge, and fillings in 6 other teeth took up the whole day. Mind you I made this appt late yesterday so she was fitting me in around the rest of their schedule.
I'm so tired. I hadn't had breakfast or lunch. I tried some noodles for dinner and they took too much chewing. Instead, tapioca is covering for all three meals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Suzi. Congrats on making it through!

8 hours! Damn. I hope your teeth are good to you for a good long time now and recovery is easy.
I am not sure what makes one hard-cooked egg superior to another, but I can say with confidence that my first sous vide egg peeled easily, had no grin ring around the yolk, and tasted good with a pleasant and not chalky texture. Yay. The other three from this batch will probably become egg salad if the avocado ripens and/or I make some mayo. Or decide that mustard will work just fine.

Do you have non-chewy ice cream, Suzi? Because you totally deserve it right now.

That's a long dental day. Miso soup, cauliflower leek or scallion soups (run through blender, add cheese.) Blended veg chili works too. While I've not done that long in a chair, my jaws hate even one crown's worth of work, so chewing motion is rough for several days. And while I no longer have active mental anxiety over dentist visits, that kind of physical trauma is exhausting ( I still tense up despite actively trying to relax, reason why I get the bite bumper, it's unconscious) and I find crazy knots in my shoulders.
I hope you feel better soon.
