    Can ya'll stand one more question about boiling eggs?

    It seems all the hints that I have read (and honestly, I didn't read all 12 + pages), people want to peel the eggs immediately after boiling. However, I like to boil my eggs up (usually a dozen), keep them with the shells on in the frig, & take them to work in my lunch throughout the week...
