Happy St. Patty's Day, kids! Today's Tip comes to us from Camper1. (Thanks, Camper!)
Scroll on down and check it out.





HARD-BOILED EGGS

In Camper's own words:

Got one for you just in time for Easter!!

Learned this one this past camping trip.

When boiling eggs, put some vinegar in the water before you boil. They peel perfect!!!! I was truly amazed. And of course, no vinegar smell.

I've known since I was a kid that using vinegar in the water when you're dyeing eggs for Easter sets the color. But I didn't know that vinegar makes boiled eggs easy to peel.

Try it out, kids!

Ditto, PJ, that's why I thought we added the vinegar all of this time, too!

Thanks Camper1 & PJ, good to know!

Thanks, Pam and Camper1! I wish I'd known this when I hard-boiled an egg last week.
