I work nights. I don't cook on a regular basis. I make fudge like a pro, and can turn out a masterly omelet, but the simple act of making hard boiled eggs mystifies me. I tried doing it differently than I usually do tonight ... I boiled the water, put the eggs in, turned the water to a simmer and waited 14 minutes, just like the Joy of Cooking said to do. I usually start with cold eggs and cold water and have to pay attention to my magic egg timer thingy in the pot.
I didn't feel like paying attention tonight, and went for the book and the electronic timer.
