I'm frying eggs. It's 10.30 pm. This... is not usual. Neither is it what I really crave, for some odd reason...

Does anyone know how to poach an egg?

ETA: that  "hungry" icon is seriously creepy.

ETA 2: The fried eggs were really nice. But I still want to know how to poach an egg.

I'm actually having a fairly healthy day:

- Breakfasted late with 2 slices of brown bread and cheese
- Lunch with some crackers
- Early dinner (bc I'm going out) with a salad of lettuce, pasta, cellery, blue cheese, pear and grapes

I'm in the uni cafeteria at the moment, having dinner. Usually, the fare is of the not-so-healthy kind; an average meal would be too-salty chips with a dubious salad that nobody eats, and something deep-fried.

I just ate two generous helpings of extra-spicy chinese noodles with Indian massala sauce (never mind about the cuisine mix-up, it was delicious!) And, as an added bonus, it cleared up my sinuses for at least a week.

** anti-cold succes is mine! **

Just to let you know I didn't cause food poisoning in myself or my colleagues: the threatening SCCSF (skinny cheese cake soup fiasco) miraculously turned out just fine!! The sponge fingers that had floated to the top stayed on top, so I could indeed put the whole thing upside-down on a pizza plate, ending up with the top, which should have been the ( Read more... )
