wwcitizenHere's my recipe for Morning Stove-Roasted Eggs. Enjoy!
1) Get up after 5.5 hours of sleep to start your day.
2) Select your eggs to boil and place eggs in an empty pot.
3) Fill pot with water to about an inch or higher above the eggs.
4) Turn on burner to high and place pot with eggs on the heating burner.
5) DO NOT turn on a timer; leave the kitchen and go to your computer.
6) Google other hard-boiled egg recipes - just in case.
7) Find a couple of recipes and repeat, "Do not get distracted..." at least 5 times to yourself.
8) After 3 minutes, completely forget that the pot exists.
9) Respond to a couple of work emails.
10) Get startled when you hear a shrill sound from kitchen.
11) Remember - with a start - that OMG there are eggs boiling on the stove.
12) As you race to kitchen, consider when you turned on the stove; should be at least 45 mins.
13) Remove the completely bone dry, but hellishly hot pot from the stove.
14) TEAR open windows and turn on fans to blow out the rich smell of your stove-roasted eggs.
15) The shrill sound you heard should have been caused by steam screaming from the eggs, like a dozen little tea kettles.
16) Place the eggs on a paper plate and wait for them to cool.
17) Let the pot cool on its own without filling with water - yet.
PLEASE NOTE: If the bottom of the non-stick, $80 pot is peeling up from the steal base, make sure to throw it out once it has cooled down.
Optional: Check your US mailbox in the next couple of days for a Bed Bath and Beyond 20% off coupon!
Optional: If your (cooled) pot eventually reveals itself to be still intact and not destroyed, wash the little egg indentations off the bottom thoroughly and place back in cupboard before your partner gets out of bed.
BEST OPTION: Use the eggs to make a Stove-Roasted Egg Salad! And be sure to make like that was your initial intent all along.
