I have conquered the egg! Mostly!
I have successfully poached an egg! \o/ This is so, so huge because poached egg is my most favorite form of egg-y goodness in all the land. And for so long it struck me as an impossibly hard task best undertaken by professionals. But last night I girded my loins (has anyone tried to picture this action? does it strike you as pretty darn giggle-inducing? just me?) and did it.
I followed this guy's directions, and pictured this guy giving them. (In this scenario, I played the role of Florence. "Now, gently... gently Florence... ease your egg from the cup into the water. Just let it slide out.")
I have not yet mastered the technique to soft-boiling an egg (my second favorite form of egg-y goodness), but some day... Some day victory will be mine. This I swear.
On a totally different note: I still have an AO3 invite looking for a good home. Any friends of yours looking? Feel free to ask around, I'd hate for it to go to waste. (Or is there a comm where I could put out the offer?)
