ailbheA boiled egg is a mini-adventure.
Boil it. Juggle it out of a pan with teaspoons and tip it into the eggcup.
Everyone has their own way of opening it - Linnea likes to tap the very top and peel back the cracked shell. I tap a tonsure and scalp it, leaving me two parts to scoop out. Emer looks at it in confusion and plunges her spoon straight in, mixing the shell with the -- oooh, exciting! -- runny yolk.
Then I open Emer's egg and scoop out the insides into a bowl, keeping the yeyyow and the white separate. She eats the white while I eat my first egg, and then I open my second egg, and she says "Me eat dat."
"Hmm?"
"Doo eat my yeyyow, me eat doo white."
So I eat her yolk, and the yolk of my second egg, and she eats the white.
The best part is probably waiting to see whether the yolks will be runny or not. Today, the children had runny yolks, but mine sat uncracked just long enough to solidify while I dealt with the children's eggs.
Mmm, yegg.
