Morning snack: Hard boiled egg and strawberries

I don't pack hard boiled eggs that often because LQ likes to peel her own and it can get a bit messy. But with LQ's increasingly limited protein options I decided to cook some up. Hard boiled eggs are funny little things. Cooking them too long and they turn a bit green, not appetizing and can even get an "eggy" smell. Or if not cooked long enough the yolk doesn't firm up and they can be a bit runny. So what to do?
Place raw egg in pot covered with cold water. Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water gets a rolling boil cover the pot and turn off the heat source. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Once the timer goes off place the cooked eggs in ice water to stop the cooking process. Tah dah! Congratulations, you've just made perfectly cooked eggs.
