Success....

Everyone grades success with a different scale. With all the roller coaster rides this family has been on the last 24 hours has been a good smooth ride. We were due for a BIG grocery run. I mean big. You name it we were out of it. In the last 24 hours I have been to 5 different stores to get all the necessary items to keep this household running. Crazy I know but we like particular foods and they are only sold in certain stores.

Since returning from the last store earlier this afternoon I have gotten it all put away, cleaned up the kitchen after making homemade dish washing soap found here, and Homemade Granola found here. I have run the dishwasher hoping my homemade dish washing soap would work. I was AMAZINGLY very surprised. It works GREAT. It cost me less than $15.00 and will probably last me 6 months or more.

While I was anxiously awaiting the dishwasher to get done I was surfing Pinterest. I discovered a new way to cook hard boiled eggs. This was sooooo stinkin' simple I would have NEVER believed it had I not tried it for myself. Ready for this.....take an egg out of the refrigerator (or as many as you want to cook), place each egg in your muffin pan (open per hole), preheat your oven to 325 degrees (yes your oven), place the muffin pan in the oven for 30 minutes. When you pull the pan back out of the oven, spoon each egg out and place it in cold water for about a minute, then peel.

When I cut the peeled egg open I was speechless. I found a perfectly cooked bright yellow centered egg. Katie was so excited it was gone before I could take a picture. In 40 years I have never figured out how to not overcook a hard boiled egg until TODAY!!

Right now I am finishing a glass of wine and my whole house smells of the homemade granola. I can't wait try it out in the morning. Between meals, stopping home between stores and the things I made today I think I cleaned my kitchen 6 times today. But it was well worth the success of today.
