EGGIES!!!!!

One time at a family reunion, one of my cousins (who was probably seven or eight) picked up a small bag of potato chips and started repeating the word, "Chipees!  Chipees!  Chipees!"  This went on for fifteen minutes.  Literally.

(And I always use that word correctly.)

It has now become a running joke in my family.  Whenever something reminds us of that (It could be as simple as a bag of chips in general) we start saying, "Chippes!"

Yesterday, my mom ran into the dollar store while I waited for Katelyn in the car.  She came back with a bag full of treasures and said that she bought me a prize.  I spotted a GIANT bag of popcorn and was hoping that it was destined to be mine.  Instead, he handed me a box of EGGIES!!!!!!!!!

EGGIES!  EGGIES!  EGGIES!

I really am a sucker for TV infomercials.  I had to have a magic bullet because I just loved the infomercial.  Whenever I come across it channel surfing, I usually sit and watch it for a few minutes.  It is that good.

Eggies' big claim to fame is the fact that you can hard boil an egg without having to peel it.  I actually don't mind peeling hard boiled eggs.  Thanks to watching Alton Brown on Good Eats, I have the perfect egg peeling technique.  However, I HATE poaching eggs and I LOVE eating poached eggs.  A soft boiled egg is basically identical to a hard boiled egg.  Eggies are perfect for soft boiling eggs.

This morning Katelyn got to try the first batch of eggs from the Eggies.

You can always tell how much Kate likes a food by how much of it ends up in her eyelashes.  By the looks of this picture, the Eggies were a great success. :)
