Oh So Easy

It's that time of year again.  Yep- hard boiled eggs and chocolate bunnies.  Except this year it's hard boiled 'baked' eggs.  Pinterest at work again.  I have baked eggs, out of the shell to the point of acceptance but not inside the shell-until now.  I used a regular muffin pan-twelve eggs at a time- which let the eggs move a bit.  The pan shown here, I think, is a mini muffin pan-which probably works just as well, And can bake more eggs at one time.  Thirty minutes at 325 degrees. Put in ice water until cool (I initially transferred to a bowl of ice water but thought next time to put entire pan into sink and fill with water and ice.) Time to color.

The Me Project

Hello Spring!  A rejuvenation.  Although the season officially arrived a few days past, Mother Nature has now decided to catch up to the calendar.  While patches of snow still exist, the temperatures are climbing higher, every so slowly higher on the gauge.  Most inhabitants of central Illinois have departed to areas consisting of yet higher temperatures and minute silica. 
After accomplishing a few projects for others the decision has been made to take on a new project-Me.  This profound idea also came about after getting a clean bill of health from the general practioner and  the cancer doctor.  My appointments with the latter have been moved from six months to twelve months-as I will not see him again until next March.  And let me define 'clean bill of health'.  My lab work (blood tests) from both visits resulted in numbers within the normal ranges.  One non-blood work number that is not within a healthy range remains to plague me.  You know you are overweight when your feet actually hurt because there is too much pressure on them- and as I have midget digits my poor pups are barking.  Seriously.  The problem?  I have no 'off' switch.  Eating, drinking, talking... For the next year I'm creating an off switch -and learning how to use it will be a learning experience.  Along with this new project I will also attempt to cross off another item off the bucket list.  I'll share it if and when I do- until then... I'll keep my dialogue going here!
