As for the egg with dye, that is totally stupid. If you can't cook an egg the way you like it then stiff cheddar. Who cares and why should government funding be given to idiots who come up with these schemes.
On the other hand, when one is about to watch a footy semi-final, and a child decides it wants to cook boiled eggs for the first time those eggs would prevent,
A. The waste of 8 eggs
B. The destruction of a saucepan
C. Gastric Ulcers
D. Domestic Violence
E. Lack of sleep, thru having to stay up for the replay.

This friday night we are having pizza delivered before the game starts.
I would suggest well before the games starts so that you don't have to deal with fighting over slices of pizza and bits of ham etc being tossed at you during the game. Get dinner finished, kids washed and put to bed.

My solution was to put the kids in the kennels, seat the dogs at the table, and when the Pizza guy arrived let the fastest n/or strongest win.
"Missy" the ridgebackxmastiff, n the smallest competitor (but not the lightest,) was the clear winner.

Why did I not think of that??? 'Tis obvious that I have never had kids. Have no idea on how to treat them..

Oh, the Things They'll Serve at the State Fair.......

Last month, during the eight-day celebration of all things North Carolina(a/k/a the North Carolina State Fair), one of the restaurant vendors came up with an inventive way to serve Coca-Cola......Fried Cola Balls!

Yes, that's right.....Fried Cola Balls. How'd they do that? Mix together pancake batter, Coke syrup and cinnamon sugar, make into small little balls, throw them into vats of hot oil, and......voila!, or as the vendor called 'em, Fried Cola Balls!

Top with strawberry syrup, whipped cream and more cinnamon, and you've got a pretty good artery-clogging snack.

Dumb......maybe, but it could end up being a new item at the F1 Idiots Bar.

It's a popular sweet served at state fairs in the US. Looks like this:

If you happen to visit a state fair (especially in the south, up to maybe Virginia) make sure you eat some funnel cake and a rock candy or two.

Here's the recipe (from foodnetwork):
1 cup water
3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 cup eggs, about 4 large eggs and 2 whites
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for topping

Boil water, butter, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Add flour and work it in until it is all incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer lowest speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all eggs have been added and mixture is smooth, put dough in a piping bag fitted with a number 12 tip. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy pan. Pipe dough into oil, making a free-form lattice pattern; cook until browned, flipping once. Remove cake from oil, drain on paper towels, and top with powdered sugar. Continue until all of the batter is used.

The "funnel" part of the funnel cake comes from the fact that these are made by pouring batter through a funnel into hot oil in a circular pattern.
