How to peel 50 boiled eggs a minute (and other useful tricks)
Posted by Heather on December 5, 2007
I was supposed to get my Christmas tree decorated last night after the kids went to sleep. Instead, I was pulled into the sucking black hole that is Instructables. It is, no kidding, at least as addictive as Parent Hacks, if that tells you something.
Want to peel 50 boiled eggs in under a minute? This site shows you how.
Need to keep an eye on things from afar? Make a remote controlled camera from a cellphone.
Tie a necktie with a perfect Windsor knot in under 10 seconds? Watch the master and learn.
And Guinever, this one’s for you: excellent instructions on how to make a 3-D Dinosaur birthday cake. ;)
I should probably make some kind of snappy one-liner to close up this entry, but I’m pretty sure you all have been sucked into the fathomless vortex of Instructables by now and won’t surface any time soon. Oh yes. I know its insidious pull.

I could’ve used your link to that beautiful cake five years ago when I attempted mine. I obviously went to the wrong website. That one looks awesome!! But of course, if I made it, it would look absolutely nothing like that.
Here’s to sticking to simple layer cakes and dolly cakes.

Are you kidding? That dolly cake looked awesome! If you can do that, I’ve no doubt you could rock that dinosaur cake. All any of us ever need is good instructions. :)

I’ll never tell.
We’re off to the Smokies tomorrow; I’ll wave from 75.
