Beware of microwaved hard boiled eggs

Lessons learned, don't make this same mistake!

We had some left over hard boiled eggs that have been in the fridge for a bit. So I decided I wanted to eat them after my run with Doby today. I peeled them and put them in the microwave, whole, for about a minute. I figured it was better to heat them up whole rather than smashed so the yolk wouldn't cook even more. Well, I was wrong. When I cut into the 1st one it popped, splashing all over me and the side of the fridge. I screamed, Doby barked and started eating the egg pieces on the floor. It really went everywhere. So the 2nd egg I tried putting my fork in it to release some of the pressure and...POP, egg everywhere! It even burned my hand a bit.

Fortunately, I didn't have to do a lot of mashing and it was hot enough for the butter. I decided to eat first (after all I'm always hungry after exercising) and clean up the kitchen later.

Oh, and the 2nd lesson learned. I didn't stop Doby from eating the egg pieces, I figured it was good protein for him. Well, just know that their toots will be extra stinky!

Darling Amber....the lessons we learn abroad are so enlightening. :-) So, to answer your complaint: I don't even know HOW to add people to my blogroll. The people on there were placed on there by Nate or my sister. No joke. I don't even VISIT people's blogs. I visit yours as much as I visit my own sisters' blogs. :-) Super duper loves. And yes, you need to come visit ASAP. WHEN?
