That's much the same as I do for boiled eggs, although usually for no
more than 4 minutes. I just collected a heap of duck and chicken eggs
this morning, so I might do an omelet of some sort for breakfast.

then an infection in or around my jaw... it's been a fun week and I
haven't got much done at all.
