How to Make Peeling the Shells off of Eggs Super-Easy.....Add Baking Soda to Your Boiling Water - is sooo cool!

Add 1 heaping Tablespoon of Baking soda to your big pot of Boiling water, let it foam, then gently place the eggs in, one at a time, with a large metal spoon. ( A soup spoon, nothing fancy - lol!)

AND, give your Boiled Egg a good shake in a glass or jar of water (cover the top - lol!), the peels should come right off, and start from the bottom (now we're here - Thanks, Drake! Haha!) of the egg, where the little dint in the egg is... the egg shell will peel off - and, of course, tap the boiled egg all around, too! 

How To Tell If It's A Good Egg, or if your eggs have gone bad - When you place the eggs, one by one, on a big spoon, into the boiling water, if the egg floats to the top - Bad Egg - if it just stays in the bottom, that's a Good Egg! 

             (Take a little Fun Break with Ailsa! : )

Why not try a little something to make it sooo much easier to peel your boiled eggs?  and it is super-exciting when you first add the baking soda - it'll foam right up, momentarily, then literally, simmer down (do you hate that phrase from all the teachers having said that in your classes, all your life?? lol!) to a normal boil.....

Then, carefully set each egg in the boiling water, with a large spoon...

I thought it might be helpful to see the Boiled Eggs at various stages... we're at Sea Level (we are, for sure, right by the Sea, on the ocean, and, well, errrr, aaahhh, at Sea Level, but we used to live in Calgary, so the timing is different at different elevations - so is a good idea to take your eggs out earlier, if your eggs cook faster at a different elevation... same thing goes for baking, and whatnot... lol!)

Anyhoooo, the Boiled Eggs at the top are 7 minute Eggs, then 8 minutes Eggs, then the 10 minute Eggs.  So, really, it's however you happen to love your eggs, or whenever you remember you were making some boiled eggs! lol!

Yumm, this makes me hungry!  And Eggs are soo good for you... I know there's a whole debate about whether it's okay to eat the yolks, and it's totally okay, very good for you. And, tastier, for sures. 

Adding Baking Soda to the boiling water for your Boiled Eggs, though, is great for Easter, when you might be rolling your Easter Eggs with the family.. sometimes it's soo hard to get the egg shell to break, and it can be frustrating for little ones (and the big ones, too - hahaha! - Not sure how many times we've ended up throwing our Easter Eggs up against a tree, try to get the shell to break - naturally - lol!

Switch to AT&T and get the new Galaxy S6 plus a $100 Bill Credit when you add a new line of service on AT&T Next.

And here's how we like to have our little boiled egg sandwiches - yum!  I like a slice of Havarti on the sandwich, sometimes, too - all very healthy... and sometimes we just like to have the boiled eggs on their own, and I add a wee bit of butter and salt - yum!  A nice little treat : )

If you want your beautifully decorated Eggs to last forever, just learn to blow them... you need to make a little hole at the top and the bottom, poke a toothpick through the yolk, and you're well on your way... rinse and decorate : )

The Bachelor Chris Finale - And the Winner is.... Whitney? Or Becca? Or Britt and Kaitlyn?? Or, All of the Above? hahaha!

So, Bachelor Chris Soules chose baby-voiced Whitney.  The girl who definitely, for sure, knew she wanted to get married and have children, immediately.  I dunno, was kinda yicky for me to watch, last night - not sure why.  I think I thought Bachelor Chris really loved Becca, my personal choice for him - hahaha!  I thought she was soo cute, and who cares what the whole family thinks of someone's choice?  what's that all about, having the entire family in on the decision?  I don't get that.  I would NEVER let my family choose who I was going to be with, or I'd end up with some stooopido old boyfriend my mother liked.  Nooooo... yuck.  If you ever run into a situation where he puts that much faith in his choice of a partner, run the other way.  Unless you happen to like his family, too, in which case, do whatever makes you happy - well, that's the bottom line, anyway, do whatever makes you truly happy, family support, or not. 

Here's little Becca - I really liked Becca - so nice and normal, very pretty, not in a giant rush to 'land a man' - yick.  But I did NOT like when Becca was brought out on stage, and Chris was asked soo many times, with Whitney right in the back room, if he really shouldda chosen Becca??  Whaaat?  That was so disrespectful to both women - I did not like that, at all - booo!  What is that, trying to break up Chris and Whitney on National TV - for what?  More ratings?  Women don't like that. And I thought, for sures, they would make Becca the new Bachelorette, if she wanted the option.

Da Bachelor Chris' One True Love - Corn! lol!   Just throwing this picture in, because it made'a me laugh! hahaaha!

So, now they're gonna pit Britt against Kaitlyn, for the MEN to decide who is gonna be the next Bachelorette?  But they're phrasing it, Who is the best one to marry??  Yuck!  I do not like that, at all - what the hell, that seems like THE worst decision in Bachelor History, right? hahaha!  No.  That just seems horrible - surely they'll get enough backlash from all the women who watch The Bachelor, to say what a bad idea this is, right?  It seems particularly cruel, or something - it's kind of hard to put my finger on why I find it so offensive... I thought they were gonna just let both girls stay through the whole process - that would be more interesting, since then we could see them talking about the process, having lots of laughs, each of the women finds someone fun to date, and potentially marry, right?  Wouldn't that be a nicer approach? 

Jus' a little joke from Britt looking lovely and 'fresh', first thing in the morning - hahahaahaha!

Wow, how skinny is Kaitlyn?  This seems way too thin, in this picture, so maybe it's doctored up... she looked good on Jimmy Kimmel, last night - so did Britt....

And the whole thing with Jimmy Kimmel on The Bachelor, and all the running jokes with Bachelor Chris Soules on Jimmy Kimmel - hioarious - best part of The Bachelor, this season, for me - lol!  Me luv'a da Jimmy Kimmel! lol!

Oooh, and here's the funniest thing from last night's Bachelor Finale - ooh, I looved when Jimmy Kimmel came on the actual Bachelor Finale, and gave Chris and Whitney a beautiful gift - Juan Pablo, a lovely cow : )  Me laugh!  But, in case you missed this bit on Jimmy Kimmel, here it is - soo funny, Jimmy Kimmel as the sound guy for The Bachelor's kisses - hahahaha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzLX3HL4mN8 - when he has to carry everything out, himself, and he doesn't know why no one ever helps him - and he drops that horn, the security guard totally doesn't help - hahahaahaha!  Now THAT'S comedy! hahaha!

True Fun Love!!

So, why do they keep putting this li'l crazy on camera?  Ashley, maybe?  I can never remember her name, and she might be in the same boat.... poor kid - I feel for her - either, she's in need of some serious help, or shocked to be on camera, or just shocked, in general... but something is amiss with this poor kid... and now they want to put her on Bachelor in Paradise?  Hmmm... seems highly questionable, but maybe it's all just an act?  Who ever know,but I am suuuure that the other virgin, also an Ashley?  Now me canny remember any of their names... so much for 15 minutes of fame - lol!  But the Kardashian look-a-like virgin.... she was cute on Jimmy Kimmel, too - showed her real personality, and see they've all let go of all of the over-the-top make-up... Britt was barely recognizable on Jimmy Kimmel, last night....

Soo, we'll see what happens, now, if Chris Soules really does marry Whitney, (and she was looking for a new set of parents, people she could call Mom and Dad? Yuck!!  That's soo creepy...)
Anyway, I guess I wish them all luck, especially the girls who are out there looking for love - and all the guys, too... Love for Everyone!! Dat my real wish! lol!

Why did Pinterest change their format, and now you can't leave comments? That was the best part! Booo!! #Pinterest #PinterestFail

Darn it - I keep removing, deleting, old boards, to make room for my new Big Brother 19 Season, right, and Pinterest keeps telling me I've reached my limit - why limit us so much, Pinterest? Is too annoying for me to use, now - I still like it, is useful, but, man, too annoying... anyone else frustrated by the new changes to Pinterest? It was great, before, and now I find it barely usable... 

Any ideas on how I can create new boards? Yikes! lol! 

Why did Pinterest change their format, and now you can't leave comments?  That was the best part! Booo!!

Just a pretty little flower picture I had in my phone - lol!  It's a lovely yellow Dahlia, from Butchart Gardens, in Victoria, BC, that I took, last summer - I looove Butchart Gardens, is crazy-gorgeous in there, year round - always amazingly beautiful and a great walk through nature...but, for now, I needed it so I can post this to Pinterest, since you need a large photo to post something to Pinterest - in case you were wondering how to post from your blog or site  (or anywhere else - lol!) to Pinterest.  

Now, to be super-clear, I love Pinterest, is so much fun - I love all the laughs, I love the pictures, I love the recipes I'll probably never make, but love to look at, imagine mah'self making - like all the millions of great craft ideas on Pinterest - lol! 

But here's my main concern - Pinterest changed it's format on March 5th, I'm pretty sure, and now you can't leave a comment, and that was the funniest bit, quite often.... now, you can only post directly, I don't see a button to say, 'Post to Facebook?', like you always want to post to fb, so, I assume it might go ahead and post to all of your social media platforms?  With or without your consent, since I didn't get an email to ask me if I wanted the new format... is annoying.  Why do they keep changing all the formats?  

Really, I've hardly been on Facebook, at all, since the New Year - I don't like the changes, I was really offended byy the whole new 'now we own all your photos' thing - whaaat??  You post something to fb, and now they own it?  was that the right understanding of that?  How can that be?  I must have misread it, that seems so crazy, but it really turned me off, so I only go on Facebook sporadically, now, as opposed to probably hours a day, before - I liked to be on fb during The National News - that's on, right now, too - ironically enough - lol! 

So, what can we do to get Pinterest to go back to their old format, where it feels like you have more control over what you're posting, and to which platforms, and to leave a little funny comment?  Was there a problem with the comments being mean, or something?  Are there really a lot of meannies on Pinterest?  It's such a sweet platform, doesn't seem like a social media hangout for all da baddies of the world, right? haha!  But, who knows, there must have been a reason for Pinterest to change their format, which I thought was fantastic, before, and now I think, well, should I still bother with it?  (I will, no worries - me luv'a da Pinterest! lol!)

Okay, so, if you have any idea on how we can get our old Pinterest format back, let me know - I miss being able to post little funny comments, or add something interesting - is just not the same with virtually no interaction with the posts, right?  

Think I'll go look at some puppy pictures - hahahaaha!  Ailsa : )

Did I already say that I always Follow Back on Pinterest (and Twitter - fb I can't really be bothered with, any more - I like it for the people I know, for sure, but is waaay too risky to add anyone I don't know, because they can post some crazy shiz on your page, without your knowledge or permission - happened to me, was horrible, and so, Twitter is safe, and Pinterest is okay - very annoyed with Pinterest letting all that gross crap get on Pinterest, then sometimes when you open it up to Follow someone back, and have a wee look at their Pins, which USED to be all sweet and innocent, yummy recipes, beautiful places, funny pet pics... you know, all very sweet, and then, suddenly, it's all gross and pornographic, and that's not okay - not on Pinterest. It's too innocent a site for that, and I should NEVER have to be exposed to something I never want to see, because I am being nice, and Following Back, right? Come on Pinterest, get it together, get rid of the creep factor.... Otay, dat mah' li'l rant for the day! lol!
