Toiled and Troubled Egg

June 2, 2017 Earnest Painter

I boiled some fresh eggs that we get from a local farmer. Something terrible happened to this one. I don't know quite what to think. 

After boiling the eggs for precisely 11 minutes, I dropped them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Even in the boiling pan I could see that there was something not right about this egg.

I recon we could scrape that part off, but I still say that something ain't right. My boiled egg has a growth. Like it was trying to sprout a set of teeth. Or give birth to Casper, the Friendly Ghost or something. 

We'll still use the boiled eggs, probably even use this one. But, I'm keeping it in a separate bowl in the refrigerator, just in case. I don't really want it to influence the others.
