Innaugural use of our new egg cups and egg scalper

So today we had our first opportunity to test out the new egg cups and egg scalper my folks sent us a few months ago. We had whole-wheat waffles made from scratch, fresh orange juice and of course soft-boiled eggs (which weren't all that soft because I prepared them). Needless to say Amber was very excited to try the new egg scalping tool and tested it on her finger first.

Here's the outcome of that experiment.

Next is a play-by-play on the process of removing the top of an egg:

First one needs to examine one's enemy.

Then one positions the tool over the egg...

...squeezes the handle and twists...

...and voila! The top is off.

And there's the top of the egg.
