A new way to do eggs.

Oh, my.  I have been looking for how to do eggs just >< so for quite some time.  The timing, water depth, when to put them in...  I have found it.  I steamed three eggs, not wanting to have to toss many if it went wrong.  I followed the instructions... basically.   Maybe not every last syllable, no.  I didn't turn the heat down to, though it was on a medium-high.  Is that what it was supposed to be turned down to?  Anyway.  For me, I went eleven minutes and some change.  I warmed the eggs a bit, while testing them.  (I now always put the eggs in water deep enough for them to sink.  If they don't sink I consider them bad and toss them.)  The water was boiling when I put them in.  The pot has a have lid, so it keeps heat and even steam in fairly well.

When finished, I did crack the eggs while quick cooling them.  And they did peel quite nicely.  I usually don't have a problem with that, though from time to time one to several eggs just act up.  In this case, peeling was the normal breeze I find it to be.  If it works, I'll keep using it, along with the rest of the method.  Nice.

As to the eggs?  Perfect.  The yokes were done just a bit more, to my liking.  And yet, even at eleven minutes, they were much superior to how my eggs often end out.  No green ring, no stench of sulfur, soft and yellow to golden but firm.  Yeah, these will make perfect deviled eggs, more so now that I am making my own mayonnaise... and pickles.  The pickles were a little rich in vinegar, but diced very small, and used sparingly, they would add a nice group of tastes and textures to deviled eggs.  Perhaps with a jalapeno ring to top each.

Hmm... actually?  I will probably boil a dozen or two eggs just to have on hand.  Especially with eggs being a good source of fat, I think vitamin b5 add, and great for cool meals in the hot weather.  Sometime, perhaps, I will make a platter of deviled eggs.  Or half platter.  Reminds me of childhood picnics... when the world was perfect, or could be made to be... we were so sure.  Then again, I have the greater certainty that, while this world won't ever make the grade, it will lead to one that will, if we choose that path.  Does it hurt?  Probably not holy.  Not exactly true, but something to keep in mind.  All I'm saying about that Orthodox notion.  Eastern, Greek, one of them... or a mix... or all?  I'm Catholic, just try to not be a completely foolish one.  Mostly.

Now to keep going and make some calls.  If stock bones are right available, it would be good to get those.  Running low on stock, and still, sometimes, can tell I need electrolytes.  Still recovering from a serious depletion, I do believe.  Then on to another store or three.  Best take the ice chest, and maybe cool it down and add ice as well.  Then remember to buy more ice.  Gah!  Good day.
