So I was supposed to be doing this (sideways, but I'm too lazy to flip the picture):
Instead, I decided that it was high time I would poach an egg since I've never done it before, but honestly, it's easy, I knew I could do it... sort of.
All you need is an egg, a bowl, a pot of boiling water with a few tablespoons of vinegar, and something to stir the pot with.
Why do you need a bowl? Well, you could crack the egg straight into the water, but you need to insure that you don't break the yolk and that you don't get any shell in it. So you could omit the bowl if you want, but I decided to just use it.
Anyway, once the water boils, take a spoon or something to stir the water, drop the egg in, stop stirring, and leave it for 2-3 minutes.
Here is the finished product. I did two, but only ate one because one turned out to be not fully cooked on one side, and cooked on the other side. Yes, it was a weird egg...
So you can eat that with just a piece of toast or something, but I decided to make a mock eggs benedict. I toasted a piece of wheat bread, put some turkey slices (I don't like ham or Canadian Bacon), and then put the egg on top.
Because I was lazy and don't have a proper blender to make a hollandaise sauce (plus I didn't have any butter on hand, I decided to forego that step and just went for simple salt and pepper:
In case you were wondering, I buy this turkey when I go to the regular grocery stores. I like it because it's perfectly portion controlled and only 90 cals, it says so on the pack!:
This concludes my post on how I wasted an hour today that I could have spent studying.
The End.
rock on! I love egg benedict but I haven't been able to get the hollandaise sauce right! I have food pictures to be posted too.. I made strawberry-raspberry mini pies! Serving up the photos tonight~
