eggs

I cannot boil an egg. 
I can cook up a reasonable meal, and the occasional edible baked good from scratch, but ask me to boil an egg and it never fails to present a challenge. In one of my recent Pinterest visits I stumbled upon a 'bake your eggs in the oven' idea and it was brilliant! This morning I popped 24 eggs in muffin tins into the oven and 30 minutes later had hard 'boiled' eggs with no drama. Wonders never cease!
Once they'd cooled, it was time to add the colour. The kids had a great time, though the dyes were somewhat disappointing - just the usual kit from the grocery store. Still, it was fun watching them trying the different colours and testing theories and discussing results amongst themselves. Sharpie markers added additional fun & colour to the eggs ... the kids were happy & the mum cleaned up.
