. . . things to think about thursday . . .

. . . today is

national grilled cheese day . . .

. . . and since my husband

pretty much eats

like a toddler . . .

. . . easy dinner . . .

. . . holla! . . .

. . . also . . .

. . . i can't let easter

get too far in the past

before i let you know about

the glorious new way i found

{via pinterest ~ natch}

of making hard cooked eggs . . .

. . . because, let's be honest . . .

. . . one of life's pet peeves

is chunks of white coming off

when you attempt

to peel the eggs . . .

. . . am i right? . . .

. . . well ~ let me tell you . . .

. . . the shells come off

in large sheets

when you follow

these directions . . .

. . . and ~ the yolks

were a lovely, bright yellow

with no unsightly

green/gray halo to them . . .

{in a nutshell: pinhole,

simmer, ice water.

follow link above for details.}

{in the interest of full disclosure i must notify you

that the extra dozen that i did not devil,

but that have been in the fridge since friday night

have, sadly, since developed that wretched discoloration.

so . . . tip: use right away}

{bonus tip: my girls tell me

they used the pre-peeled hard cooked eggs from costco

to make deviled eggs and that it took literally ten minutes.

where is the fun in that, i ask you?}

. . . thirdly ~ my friend

is an avid slipper wearer . . .

. . . i suggested she try

this sustainable variety . . .

. . . snack and footwear

in one convenient package . . .

. . . and what are you thinking about

this fine thursday? . . .
