Are you ready for it?
It’s a big darned deal.
Ok, here it goes.
I, Queen of Quirky, poached my first egg with great success.
<crickets.>
I just don’t understand why no one is as excited about this as I am.
I even took the little guy, all dished up in a bowl, to Mr. Quirky, who was relaxing on the couch, to show him. He was all, “that’s nice, babe.” in this sort of flat voice with the slight hint of a question mark at the end.
What?! That’s all I get?!
I mean, at the very least I expected him to jump up and down with joy for my culinary achievement. And, it wouldn’t have hurt the cause to add to that with suggesting we pop a bottle of bubbly to toast the momentous occasion.
Harumph.
I guess these things are better off celebrated alone, on top of your leftovers. With a glass of box wine…

The first time you get this right, it’s absolutely amazing. Actually, the charm of successfully poaching an egg never wears off. Good job!
P.S. I met you at BlogHer. I will be contacting you very soon about places to see eat in K.C.
That is one good looking poached egg. Like Cindy, I am impressed. (Also like Cindy – we met at BlogHer.)
That would be the perfect egg to top off a bowl of Bibimbap!
That is indeed one good lookin’ egg. I try all the time to poach but they never come out right
