Is it just me, or is there something odd about this instruction? I would
think that if one had the yolks from hard boiled eggs, the eggshells would
already have been removed. After all, in MY kitchen, I boilt the eggs,
remove the shells, then remove the white (if that's what I'm going to do) in
order to wind up with the hard-boiled egg yolks....
