STOP!

you boiled them for 14 minutes!!!??

nononono

put the (large) eggs in hot tap water. put them on the stove. watch them. once they begin to boil, 5 minutes = perfect egg (cooked thru with just a dot of liquid yolk) . run cold water into the pot and over flow it , dump water, and run directly under cold. this halts the cooking. 6 minutes for even yellow yolks, 7 minutes if you like them dry and hard. 8 minutes if you're going to dye them. 14 minutes, my god woman. were they green in the middle?
