I learned a few lessons about eggs today that I thought someone out there might be interested in...Quick go get some paper...you might want to write this down:

1. An hour and a half is a little bit too long to boil an egg.
2. A 2 qt pan doesn't hold enough water to actually boil for a hour and a half.
3. When water boils, it actually turns into steam and evaporates away, and at some point, leaving none.
4. When you smell something burning in the kitchen, be sure to go check things out. It probably won't just go away on it's own.
5. When you continue to boil and egg with no water...it will get a nice shade of black/brown, and will actually burn right through the shell!
6. And if you have real special eggs...when they get hot enough...they will actually explode!!
See those awesome pieces of white all over my counter...yep...that's the egg...

And this...yeah well...that's the leftovers. Two eggs completely blew apart. America's next top chef...could totally be me!!
7. And the best lesson learned: exploded, half charred, rubbery egg whites make a great snack for a hungry 1 year old scavenging for food on the kitchen floor while mom is otherwise occupied!
