[Breadbaking is] one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells... there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel, that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.
~M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating
Peeling Eggs? Put eggs in a bowl of cold water. Crack your shells well, and peel in the water. If you are making eggs that need to be pretty, (Deviled Eggs) use the oldest eggs in the fridge - the older ones peel better.
