(a) When I'm willing to go to the trouble of soft-boiled eggs, 5 minutes is too long.

(b) Besides, there's no remedy for the following:

3+ large dips Breyer's vanilla quarter+ cup of milk some sugar malt to taste dash of vanilla at least two, preferably three, raw eggs Beat to desired thinness

I do like eggs. They were the only thing the messhalls at Lackland AFB (1951) could cook decently.
