How to cook a Soft-boiled Egg?
-
Cook about 6-7 eggs at a time in a small sauce pan. Add enough water to cover the eggs and bring to a boil over hight heat. Then turn the heat to low-medium, set a timer for 3 -4 minutes (depending on your preference of how "soft" you would like it) and cook it until the timer goes off. Then drain the water and fill the sauce pan with cold running water. Start peeling as soon as the eggs are cool enough to handle.

How to Roast Beets

Wrap thoroughly cleaned/scrubbed beets with foil and place on baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour at 350F. Pierce the largest beet with a skewer, if it goes in easy, remove the beets from the oven, and allow to cool. If the beets are still too firm, return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the beats are easily pierced with a skewer.
Use gloved hands to rub the skin off the beets.
