3 Things I Cannot Do …
1. Whistle. I can inhale a sound that could maybe pass but mostly sounds like I’m hyperventilating.
2. Handstands (or cart wheels). Never could. Even when I was young and willing to try most things, I couldn’t quite get the movement or nerve up to do it.
3. Peel a perfect egg. It’s happened and when it does I want to frame it, but most of my eggs end up looking lumpy and unfit for any self-respecting table.

Orly, I have a great twist on peeling eggs. Don’t think of lumpy eggs as poor peeling so much as great purchasing! You must be buying really fresh eggs, because they’re impossible to peel. My husband and I had chickens for a couple of years, and while the fresh-laid eggs were wonderful, it was always a battle when we boiled them!
Peace,
Carla
Oh I like that twist. Thanks, Carla. 🙂
Hi Orly!
I thought it was interesting that I can’t do the same three things as you! Whistling has always baffled me! I also can’t sing or dance, at least not well. I love to sing and dance to Mama Mia, the musical, but only when no one is home!
My singing should be declared a natural disaster but I’m with you on Mama Mia! 🙂
You might try dropping (gently) the egg in ice water after boiling. This sometimes helps.
I always do and STILL manage to make them look like white moon rocks. 🙂
