I'm Sorry To Say

that making hardboiled eggs is something that eludes me. last week i boiled four eggs for ten minutes and then put them in a bowl of ice water. i was very careful to only boil them for ten minutes, as i usually over cook them. and you've seen the eggs that are overcooked--the yolks are always chewy, versus being kinda fluffy and crumbly.

this time i thought i had finally cracked the mystery. no such luck. it can't be this hard and i am not this dumb. if anyone has a foolproof and i do mean foolproof way of hardboiling eggs, i'm all ears.
