I swear sometimes I am hopeless. ;)

Did you know you can hard boil eggs by steaming them? Well, you can. Works great. I got the idea from Fresh Eggs Daily.

I don't have a steamer, so I used my metal colander. Set it in my small enamel pan, and put a large lid over it to hold in most of the steam.

However, my skill at hard boiled eggs ends there. I tried to follow the instructions, but the rolling and peeling still wasn't quite as easy as it should have been. I am certain the fault is mine as this is a skill I still need to master. I did have a few eggs that peeled nicely, but most of them looked like the Rat Pack and been nibbling on them. (Sorry, Mike.)

Oh well, today I'm going to try the egg salad portion of the instructions and see how that goes. Lisa makes her egg salad like I make my jerky. No measuring. Haha. Might be a disaster in the making, but we'll see how it goes.

You all have a great Thursday! :-)
Update: Hubby loved the egg salad! Yay! :-D
