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?

Actually, they came out perfect, just like Joy of Cooking said they should.

I do prefer starting with cold water, bringing to a boil with my magic egg timer in with the eggs, but I didn't want to stand and stare at the thing until it was the right amount of blue.

A friend of mine's daughter wants to keep chickens, but I don't think the township will let her. They already have bees, a bunch of rabbits, a guinea pig, and a macaw.
