How to poach an egg

Poaching an egg:

I find what works best is to boil the water in a kettle whilst leaving a small amount of water at the bottom of a small pan and heating it on a high heat (I use 5 out of 6 on my electric heat cooker). When the kettle is boiled add water to the pan to fill it up, put the lid on and hopefully it will start boiling violently in a short amount of time.

When the water in the pan is boiling violently, turn it down to minimum heat setting on an electric cooker (generally it will be 1).

Then you can add the eggs, by breaking the shell with a tap on the side of the pan and splitting them and emptying the contents, either directly into the pan or you could use an special egg poaching cup within the pan to keep things a bit neater and tidier.

Cover the pan and let the egg cook for 4-5 minutes depending on whether it is a medium or large egg. After 5 minutes you can remove the egg and it will be cooked with the yoke slightly runny on the verge of solidifying.

I would then serve it on a freshly toasted hot cross bun with some margarine spread on it and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Delicious.

Letter to Wera Hobhouse, MP for Bath regarding lived experience in the UK and her new legislation Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023

  I would like to share my recent experiences with you regarding this legislation, and would ask for some advice on my plans for my recovery from schizophrenia.   I feel that I have not received protection from harassment at work for my protected characteristics: I am an Anglo Indian and from a visual inspection look like the leader of the Indian opposition (to my eyesight), yet I have to deal with comments ranging from ‘I couldn’t tell you were Indian’ to ‘you look like you are from Southern Europe’, or ‘where are you from’ even though to my ear I usually speak in the central Bath accent as opposed to RP.     I have the diagnoses of dyslexia, autism and serious mental health (schizophrenia). I have had my mental health triggered recently by a colleague from Banes council harassing me at work, so I quit my job to focus on studying to become a reflexologist.   I am a Christian having been a member of the congregation at Bath Abbey and getting confir...

Response to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Anti-Hate' Message on YouTube

What about being empowered as a Christian, turning "hate" to "love" and having an ethical and perhaps moral response to the situation regarding someone who didn't treat you right. After being freed of all these bigger issues such as labels for different groups that you have listed. I think growth is painful like you say in the gym but you are meant to get to the point where it is effortless... according to modern psychology I think you need a certain level of stimulation to be healthiest, if you try too hard that is bad, just like being a brain dead zombie who hates.... What I mean is how to "fight the good fight" when different groups exist who may try to affect you externally. I'm just saying that it's a good message but why do I have to muscle up to have it my way when I tried to do it just using the old way of being educated (top shcool at the system) and qualified (top degree subject)... I mean it seems you are still being from Jesus'...
