I love hard boiled eggs but they burn my mouth and are too damned crunchy
I must be doing something wrong. The egg part is tasty but I am forever spitting out the shells. Getting them out of the boiling water ain't too great for my hands either.

1. sorry, man, can't help you there.
May I recommend NOT deep-frying anything. Especially naked.

4. But how will I collect all the shells?
How do you eat hard boiled eggs anyway? Spit the shells in your lap? Gross!

5. Try Pickeled Eggs And Beer

You'll burn something else, but it won't be your hands.

It clears out a bar pretty quickly too.

Edited for typo.

11. Yeah, imagine the horror
when you try to remove the metal sprinkler attachment on the end of the hose that's now frozen to your previously sweaty bunghole, only to realize that the water inside the hose is frozen too.

I suppose you could pick a direction and run as fast as you can...

Getting it lined up just right

or

moving really quickly.

15. a tall bridge and someone to push us off
although the first-timers always forgot to tie the hose first, and had to do it twice. other times they'd forget the tall part, and be out there all day and night.

17. Yours too huh? I never like my mama's method of getting them in my ear
I tried to tell her we could just shove 'em in there but she insisted on standing across the room and hucking them at me. She always a few throws to get warmed up man those things smart when they smack you upside the head.

25. your supposed to take their cloths off first
Edited on Sat Nov-15-03 12:40 PM by moof
you are not suppose to cook hardboiled eggs with their cloths on.

boil naked eggs by soaking them in vinegar till the shell disolves away.

Then carefully place the naked eggs in the pan & bring to a boil.

it is cool to watch the egg yoke disappear as the egg white ... well

turns white.

27. Try using a straw
Poke a hole in the egg and suck out the insides. You need to suck hard, real hard. Harder!! Suck it now!!!

29. Perfect recipe for boiled eggs.
Put eggs in water and bring to boil for 5 minutes.
Take eggs off burner and let them sit for at least 5 minutes w/ cover on pan.


No blue-hue here! LOL!
