It's taken me years to perfect the art the hardboiled egg - specifically peeling those bad boys. Don't even talk to me about bring to a boil, set aside for 20 minutes, blah, blah, blah. Doesn't EVER work for me.
Lots of advise later - lots of failure later, I have MY system. Complicated, but about 90% effective. Fantastic -- I love hardboiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg salad. The HB egg world was finally available to me - one dozen at a time.
Instant Pot promised even better. Is that possible? Do I dare to hope?
OMG. A quick steam and the peels practically fell off. I'm not exaggerating folks. No running water needed. No dents in the whites. 100% successful. And TWO dozen at a time (should I want to). And these were "new" eggs. And I didn't have to prick them. And I didn't have to watch for that perfect moment when the water boiled. And I didn't have to waste gallons of water to peel them. And. And. And.
Go get an INSTANT POT immediately if you love HB eggs!! It's an egg miracle.

Yesterday was a much better day. I ended up doing an all treadmill workout. It felt good so I went with it. A good sweat cures a lot of crap.
So does a little pull together. Eyebrows, toes ... both were really bad. A clean-up felt good. Made me want to shave my legs, put on makeup, get out of my sweatpants and be out in the world for a minute. Ball rolling in the right direction kind of thing.
Today is a lunch with a friend and probably a little window shopping while we chat. It's another home workout - all lifting today. Next week is the new month so I decided to stay clear of endurance. My knee is still making some noise and I don't need it to become a problem.
That's the day in a nutshell.
I got two quotes back for work on the landscaping and roof. I'll run them by hubby, but we're probably going with both contractors. I'm living in contractor hell, but it will look nice when it's all done.
Hubby leaves tomorrow morning for a quick trip to PGH to visit his brother. He's in a group home and this is the summer visit to the zoo or the amusement park (depending on the weather). He had to cut the trip short because of his schedule at work, but a cancel would have made his brother sad - hubby's one of the good guys!
Later gators!
