April 26, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

I didn’t really think that making hard boiled eggs were that difficult but Dr Fitness seems to think he has a foolproof way to make them perfectly every time. He says the key is not to overcook them. Here is his recipe. Cover your egg(s) in a pot with cold water. Make sure the water is about 1″-2″ inches higher than the eggs. Boil the water. Now turn off the heat, move the pot to another burner and cover the eggs. Wait 12 minutes. Now give those eggs a cold water bath. Some people like to take the shells off when the eggs are warm and some people like to wait until the eggs cool off. We don’t judge here.

There seems to be a spike in suicides that occur in the spring that got researchers thinking about this correlation. And it seems women suffer more than men. So be on the look out for these symptoms: mood swings and sleeplessness.
