What is your normal way?
I think the two-shell-shuffle is neither faster nor easier and definitely messier.
If you have a gadget specifically designed to separate yolks, that might be a push.

I've always used the two shell shuffle, and find it both easy and non-messy. The other way I've seen others do it is through their fingers- messy and slimy. Though the water bottle trick is impressive when you have an audience!

Or if you need a lot of eggs seperated, you could crack them all in a big bowl, then seperate all of the egg yolks out in one step (emptying the single yolk out of the bottle each time, of course). Just make sure it's not a nasty spit infested water bottle full of germs!

No, separating in the shell is what I consider the normal way. Takes about five seconds an egg and have never made any mess with it.

Susan participated in her sister's Catholic Mass wedding. We were concerned she would burst into flames.

:) Thank you!

Lately I've been buying dresses and thinking, why don't I wear these all the time? They often don't do well sitting on park benches and playing in the sand box. But if I'm going to a meeting or coffee or window shopping, why not?

There were some other moms with the same idea that day, but we were in the minority in a sea of momjeans both literal and figurative. Almost sadder is the worn out, outdated, used-to-be office wear.

I've become a mom clothing snob....oh well ;)

I tried my hand at archery today. It was my first attempt since the 5th grade, and I only had the strength to shoot three times, but apparently I might actually be good at this with some practice. Shot three times from the 10ft line, which isn't hugely impressive, but for my first shoot in umpty umpty years I shot the first over the target, the second almost in the outermost ring, and the second in the second-from-outermost ring. I guess I have a new hobby!

Might go to Pennsic next year as a combat archer. As part of an all-female squad with magnetic hello kitty ears and sailor moon pigtails for our helms. I mean, what's more embarrassing - being killed from a distance by archers or being killed from a distance by a bunch of female archers archers dressed like armored hello kitties?

:snap: for trying something new, glad you had fun. The idea of the archers makes me giggle!

Archery! Fun! It was one of the few sports (along with badminton) I really enjoyed in high school.

Archery is awesome! I love the idea for the group; sheer terror- sheer pink fluffy terror.
