It is one of the essentials of living on your own. Knowing how to boil eggs. I eat about 5 to 10 a week for snack during the day, and have tried many ways of boiling. My go to is throw the eggs in the water, and put them on the heat. Once they start to boil I time them for 8 min, and then Immediately throw them in a bath of ice water. Depending on my mood, I like them a little on the soft side.
But this last time, I tried a different way. I decided to throw on the eggs and start working in my garage. 45 min later my wife comes out, and is like"You know you have eggs on right...." I said O S*** and acted like I knew... But in reality I had totally forgot, and if it would have been any other item then water bowling I would have probably caused some damage.
So AlWAYS SET A TIMER. By the way I hate wasting food so I ate them, a little dry I would say.
