[Sca-cooks] timing

[A F Murphy]

Is this a *new* new Laurel? My "new " one is getting on to 20 years
old...  but it does have that reference. I was thinking of it when we
had the previous discussion.

Couldn't possibly be hard boiled... I'm Catholic, and grew up saying
Hail Marys at a fair clip   *G*  I'd have trouble getting an egg to soft
cooked in that time... but then, I also like my eggs firm. But I like
the point Carol Flinders, the author,  makes - discussing the usefulness
of this for timing, but also as a way to connect to spirituality, while
doing ordinary things.
