Brown Eggs with a Kick!

Olive Thomas was a classmate of mine in grade school. We ate lunch together a lot of the time.

Once we were eating lunch and she had a boiled egg in her lunch. It was so brown it almost didn't look like an egg. I asked her why it was brown. She replied that her mother had boiled it in the coffee pot in the coffee. I suppose she did it to save heating an extra pot of water.

I don't think I could have eaten that egg because of the looks of it. I can't remember if the egg was brown after it was peeled or not but I am sure it may have been brown if there were any cracks in the shell.

She probably got a dose of caffeine from the egg!
