A beautiful Mother's Day starts well, has quite a strong middle and ends slightly drunkenly next door.
Tea and toast in bed is followed by my first trip to Sainsbury's of the day and then poached eggs on toast for breakfast, which we all eat together - kind of anyway. Now I've been through several top tips for the perfect poached eggs and I've *finally* found one which works every time. No vinegar, no over swirling, no nothing in fact - all you do is put the egg in the boiling water for 10 seconds before you crack it. The immersion makes the egg slightly gloopier which keeps it together more in the pan. Marvellous!
A morning spent rescuing the garden is followed by a lovely smoked salmon on rye bread (with IOW garlic horseradish) and fizzy wine for the parents whilst the milos are snoopy snoozing.
Post sleep we take a second trip to Sainsbury's before heading over to Des and Ali's for a cup of tea. One cup leads to another, and another trip to Sainsbury's, before Des cooks lamb chops for us all and we eventually get home at 23.30. We're only slightly foxed.

I am going to try your poached egg trick this weekend. My problem seems to be old eggs most of the time. Lovely to chat to the gorgeous divine Mrs Barnes the other morning. Right now I have some delicious lamb shanks in the slow cooker, the whole house smells delicious!
ReplyDeleteI know - it's a genius method and it comes from The Hairy Bikers! I saw it on one of their programmes the other day. Utter genius!
