Severe pain that comes in waves may be caused by kidney stones. Trauma to the body wall, hernias, and shingles can also cause lower abdominal pain. A hernia is a weakening of muscle or tissue that allows organs or other tissues to protrude through it.
Boiling an egg takes a while. Once the water starts to boil and the eggs are inside the boiling water, let the eggs boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Careful, if they boil for too long, they might crack. Alternatively, bring the eggs and water to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 25 minutes.
This is where your timing needs to be precise. If the eggs sit in the hot water too long, they will overcook and end up with a green yolk. Extra large eggs will need 18 minutes to fully cook, large eggs need 15 minutes, and medium eggs need 12 minutes. Set a timer to prevent over or under cooking. For soft-boiled eggs (runny yolks, solid whites), let the eggs sit for 5 minutes less than the time needed to hard...MORE cook the egg.
