The simple egg

I love eggs. I eat them every day. I have an egg every morning for breakfast with an English muffin and turkey bacon. However I always eat it the same way. I try it on the grill in an egg ring with the bacon in the same pan. It was time for a change. I needed to try another way to cook eggs.
The past few weeks we’ve been talking about poaching eggs. So it was time to try. I’ve poached eggs in one of those microwave egg poachers. I'd never tried to poach an egg the real way, boil water --> drop egg in. It's a challenge. But surprisingly not that hard thanks to the advice of a new friend (thanks Josh).
Poached eggs are simply fantastic. They're light and fluffy with soft egg yolks perfect for bread and butter.
So the best way to poach an egg is as follows:
1. Boil water, drop the heat down until the water is not actually at a rolling boil anymore.
2. Crack and egg into a small cup or a spoon.
3. Slide the egg into the water. It will have some wavey egg parts in the water but it should not completely break up and look like egg drop soup. The biggest thing is not to break the yolk. It's not really a poached egg at that point... just a boiled egg.
4. Boil for 2 to 4 minutes depending on how cooked you want the yolk.
5. Get the egg out of the water with a slotted spoon and dry it on a paper towel and transfer it into a ramekin or onto a plate.
6. Serve with toast.
7. Eat!

Dirty Chicken?

Ok so I just read this article and I had to comment. My kitchen is the cleanest place in my house. It may not be the neatest but It's the cleanest. Lysol and Cinch are my best friends in the cleaning department. So if you're cooking chicken clean up after yourself. I would tend to think if you're washing your chicken you probably already know to do that. Just be thorough.
