Gettin' eggy with it


Hard boiled pastured local eggs (oh the color, oh the texture, oh the flavor).  Place eggs in pot.  Just cover with water.  Cover pot.  Bring to a boil.  Turn off the stove.  Leave as is for 8-10 minutes (I always strive for 8).  Drain water and refill pot to overflowing for a couple of minutes until the pot is cool and the water in the pot remains cool.  (Alternately, place eggs in a bowl with cold water.)  Place ice in water.  (Getting the eggs really cold after cooking = easier peeling.)  Leave for awhile.  Put eggs in fridge for later use/peel eggs and eat.

On my toast today: mayo and chickpea miso.  Lunch was heaven.  I made too much though, and it was not a meal that was going to keep well for leftovers.  Thought for my next meal: choose my plate/bowl mindfully and do not exceed that plateful/bowlful.

Checking out this restaurant in Barcelona.  The city is foodie/design heaven.  My excitement grows by the day.

that's how I cook eggs too. I like them hot though, so I burn my fingers and yeah, they're hard to peel, lol!
