She's an Eggs-pert
Grandpa R was blowing eggs last night and Bella wanted to help. So he told her that should could crack the eggs this morning and help make scrambled eggs for breakfast. I was a little nervous of course but she did pretty well. First she just wanted to squeeze the egg so we showed her how to tap it and crack it a little on the side. Then she held it over the bowl and squeezed it - eggs and eggshells went flying! Most ended up in the bowl though. She tried again and before we could explain how to hold it and break it on the small crack she squeezed it again! Then she'd had enough so I guess Lesson 2 of cracking eggs will have to wait for another day...

I'm sorry--I'm dense, but what in the HECK are you talking about, blowing eggs????
You just couldn't pass that one by, could you? hee hee
Apparently Ron's family does their eggs differently. Instead of hard-boiling them then coloring them, they poke a small hole in the end of each egg then blow the insides out into a bowl. Then they color the empty shells. It's harder to color the blown eggs because they don't sink into the dye cup but there is less wasted egg because you can cook the insides that have been blown out instead of eating maybe 3 of the dozens of hard-boiled ones!
