it's so hot you could fry an egg

We have all heard the saying, "its so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk". So we thought since we basically live on the sun, we would give it a try!

When we tried it was 111 degrees outside. We thought FOR SURE it would work. Sadly it did not. Apparently the egg needs to reach a temperature of 158 degrees to become firm. I think we only missed it by a few degrees. The kids had a great time with their experiment and learned a lot about eggs. We might try again in July when we have a few 120 degree days!

So instead of munching on a fried egg the kids ate fried egg candy.  Much better choice!
