Tips on How to Prepare Hard Cooked Eggs
- Hard-cooked, not hard-boiled. Although the cooking water must come to a full boil in this method, the pan is immediately removed from the heat so that the eggs cook gently in the hot water. This produces tender, not rubbery, eggs and minimizes cracking.
- Banish the greenish ring. This harmless but unsightly discoloration that sometimes forms around hard-cooked yolks results from a reaction between sulfur in the egg white and iron in the yolk. It occurs when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature. Our method – cooking eggs in hot, not boiling, water, then cooling immediately – minimizes this.
- Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. To ensure easily peeled eggs, buy and refrigerate them a week to 10 days in advance of cooking. This brief "breather" allows the eggs time to take in air, which helps separate the membranes from the shell.
- Hard-cooked eggs are easiest to peel right after cooling. Cooling causes the egg to contract slightly in the shell.
- To peel a hard-cooked egg: Gently tap egg on countertop until shell is finely crackled all over. Roll egg between hands to loosen shell. Starting peeling at large end, holding egg under cold running water to help ease the shell off.
- Storage time: In the shell, hard-cooked eggs can be refrigerated safely up to one week. Refrigerate in their original carton to prevent odor absorption. Once peeled, eggs should be eaten that day.
- Food safety precaution: Piercing shells before cooking is not recommended. If not sterile, the piercer or needle can introduce bacteria into the egg. Also, piercing creates hairline cracks in the shell, through which bacteria can enter after cooking.
- Never microwave eggs in shells. Steam builds up too quickly inside and eggs are likely to explode.
- High altitude cooking: It's almost impossible to hard-cook eggs above 10,000 feet.

Five Tips for a Satisfying Spring Cleaning
(BPT) - Of the many projects and activities people put on their annual to-do lists, few loom as large as spring cleaning. If you suddenly feel a burst of energy and a need to shake out the dreariness of winter, you're not alone. While it may seem like a chore, many look forward to spring cleaning, and with good reason. It's a time to open up your home, let in the fresh air and get it ready for the warmer months.
To help you get the most out of your spring cleaning, here are five essential and unexpected tips to make your home blossom this spring.
1. Make a game out of it. Get your kids to help out by turning work into a game. For instance, in the yard, you can have them compete to collect the most sticks. And if they love banging on pots and pans, they'll be great helpers when it comes to shaking out rugs or upholstered furniture that need some tough love.
2. Let in the fresh air. Naturally, you'll throw open some windows to let in the fresh air, but to really chase out the odors that have accumulated after months of being closed in, you need to do more. To make your home smell fresh, boil water with two tablespoons of baking soda and a lemon peel for a serious odor-fighting solution.
3. Change your light bulbs. An easy way to spruce up your home is by brightening it up with new lighting. Replacing old bulbs in every room with energy efficient Philips LED A19 bulbs will not only save you money on your energy bills, but will help create a comfortable and relaxing environment in your home. With LEDs lasting ten years, this is one task you can cross off your list for years to come.
4. Wax on, wax off. As a matter of routine, we dust, sweep, mop and scrub around the house, but too often forget to wax wooden furniture. Not only does waxing add a shine to wood, it gives it an added layer of protection and increases its longevity.
5. Get rid of all that clutter. A lot can accumulate over the course of those winter months: unused gifts from the holidays, old and worn winter clothes, and maybe even a damaged sled or two. Your first impulse might be to hang on to this stuff or just find more storage space, but be bold and get rid of it! Whether you kick these items to the curb or donate them locally, having a clutter-free house heading into the summer months is an unbelievable feeling.
There are few things as satisfying as a good spring cleaning, and once you're finished, you might be exhausted, but both you and your home will feel rejuvenated. And with 4-packs of Philips LED A19 bulbs now available at The Home Depot for just $9.97, there's never been a more affordable time to transform your home into a clean, efficient and comfortable place, filled with the liveliness and fresh smells of the season.

Five Ways to Boost Your Homes Efficiency
(BPT) - You wouldn't know it with the mild weather we're having this winter, but spring is fast approaching. Building industry experts say now is an ideal time to carefully consider and prioritize home renovation plans. Most homeowners will opt to address the cosmetic features of a home when completing a renovation project to add comfort and value. However, it's often what you can't see that can have the biggest impact.
Before diving into any home renovations, consider the "skeleton" of your home, known as the building envelope, rather than just the cosmetic features such as chrome fixtures or granite countertops. For instance, high efficiency windows are an excellent investment for any home renovation to help drive down excessive energy waste and high utility costs. The U.S. Department of Energy suggests that traditional windows contribute to as much as 10 percent of the total amount of air escaping from a typical home, while improperly sealed doors can contribute a further 11 percent.
Another easy renovation idea to consider is researching and selecting high efficiency, green materials in commonly used rooms, such as bathrooms. Low flush water systems, solar hot water systems and even small-scale geothermal energy systems, as well as Energy Star-rated appliances, can reduce energy consumption and your overall carbon footprint while maintaining a comfortable, enjoyable living space for you and your family.
Investing in an effective insulation solution also can make a noticeable impact on reducing household utility costs. Building experts suggest that homeowners completing a home renovation should be as involved as possible in determining the best insulation type for their home. This means that homeowners should actively research the types of materials available and how well they perform over the long term.
Spray foam insulation, available from Icynene, is growing in popularity among homeowners since it is an energy-efficient insulation material that delivers year-round benefits. Spray foam insulation works well in all types of homes across the country, regardless of climate, to curb air loss and retain the conditioned air within your home to maintain a consistent, even temperature.
Spray foam insulation performs for the life of the property, ensuring that homeowners can enjoy comfortable indoor temperatures all year round without overrunning their heating and cooling equipment and accumulating high heating and cooling costs every month. More information on the effectiveness of spray foam insulation is available online at www.icynene.com.

Changes to Our Home Page
- Beginning today we have made a change in the way you can access archived photo galleries. Instead of going halfway down the home page to find an icon to click on, we have eliminated those icons in favor of a place on the navigation bar at the very top right corner of the page. There you will see the word “Photos.” If you hover the cursor icon over “photos” a drop down menu will appear in green. This menu will include 25 photo galleries done over the past few weeks with the newest at the bottom and oldest at the top. Periodically, we will delete the oldest galleries to maintain a manageable list.
- Click on any gallery that you want to see and you will go directly to that gallery. In total, we currently have over 1,500 photos in our gallery archives.
- Also remember that our home page is very long. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please scroll all the way to the bottom.
- The top part of the home page is the DAILY portion which changes everyday, 365 days a year including holidays. With the exception of Hurricane Sandy, we have published a new paper everyday since October, 2010.
- In the same line as “photos” your will find “Home Archives.” Click on this and you will go to a page of archived home pages dating back to November 5, 2012.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
