a while ago my therapist got me to keep a list of mindful activities. Peeling hard-boiled eggs and oranges both ended up featuring. Mastering the technique is so satisfying: orange peel off in a single web; tapping the top and bottom of your egg, giving it a roll, then seeing how much comes off in one go. I am too scared to try the technique I saw on youtube where you tap off the top and bottom and BLOW the egg out. One day.

I can produce very few things in the kitchen and used to turn out the grossest hard boiled eggs. But, I’ve finally learned the way to do it impeccably and wanted to share here: boil the water first without the eggs. Once boiling, use a spoon to drop your egg(s) in (this part is important since otherwise the egg will crack). Set a timer for exactly 7 minutes and cook for no more no less. Then drain the eggs and immediately soak them in cold water (add ice cubes if you have them) to make them easier to peel. And voilà, you’ve made non-gross hard boiled eggs and have an easy, high-protein lunch or lil snack ready in your fridge (eat within 2 days for best experience).

They go harder than I remembered.
1. 8mins in boiling water
2. transfer to tap cold water bath (to stop cooking)
3. peel and enjoy 😊

the only thing that gets me in that fabled flow state, and I only make them for close friends: the joy of surprising them with one makes covering my flat in thread and needles for weeks worth it.

I bought one of these in the pandemic, used it a bit then let it gather dust. After seeing a friend using theirs on Insta, I got mine back out earlier this year and got obsessed. It's the soberest high I can possibly feel. It's so good for those moments where you feel all frantic and would otherwise reach for snacks/stimulants, replacing one intense feeling with another really relaxing one. I think I'm close to graduating from the starter mat to the big-boy spikes. Even my sceptical friends have ended up loving it.
