Well said! In fact, everything cooks better at room termerature partially because you don't cool the pot or pan down when you add more ingredients.

We get eggs from a local farmer and they come in mmany colors. Sometimes it looks like we have an easter basket!

I also learned you can tell how fresh an egg is by placing them on a bowl of water. The fresher they are the lower they are in the water. Boiled eggs peel easier when they aren't as fresh, so if they float but not to the surface they are perfect for boiling whereas if they are on the bottom, wait a few days.
