Oh i have been a vegetarion for about 2 months not very long. I do have that kind of stuff but i don't like it very much. having eggs for a snack is yummy lol.

Ooooh..............I love hard boiled eggs! In fact I'm going to make some tomorrow.

For a change of pace, why don't you also make devilled egss since you already have so many hardboiled ones? There are a lot of great, easy Veggie cookbooks on the market or go to Cooks.com. I've been doing a lot of veggie lately.

One remark: never stop the boiling process: once the water starts boiling, keep it boiling!!

Yeah, that's how I do it!

I do it a different way, I let the water boil and then put the egg in, (prick it with a needle first) when it starts boiling again, I set the timer to 8 min. - that's how I like my "hard" boiled egg - on ryebread with mayonaise, salt and pepper.

I've done it that way, too...where I put the egg in after it's boiling. But, I think I've had to boil it for ten minutes after that, though...what does pricking the egg do?

When I do my eggs, I put them in cold water, boil for five minutes, then let them cool on the stove.

They're hard boiled only after five minutes?! Wow! I must have a weak stove! I wish it only took five minutes!

By prickling the egg, you're sure it won't crack in the water.

By the way, another yummy way to eat a hard boiled egg for a snack is to dip in mustard.

I thought of that as soon as I posted the question. I'm not a big fan of mustard, but, I might have to try that. I usually eat a couple of hard boiled eggs a day, so, maybe today's the day to try something new with one!

I guess there are several ways to boil an egg.

I put them in cold water, cover and bring to a boil. As soon as they start to boil rapidly, I take them off the burner, leave the cover on and wait 10 to 15 minutes. Or until I remember them.

Drain and crack them, then cover with cold water for several minutes so they peel easily.

You let them sit in the hot water after you boil them, and they continue to cook. When the water is cool I take them out, rinse them in cold water, and peel them.
