There’s more to boiling an egg …
I enjoy eating a boiled egg for
breakfast – with a slice of fresh toast, melted butter, and a smidgen of Marmite. Finishing
off with an orange. Breakfast for a Princess.
We all have our own preferences
when it comes to boiled eggs. Some like them bouncy hard while others prefer their
eggs slimy soft. When a boiled egg is not prepared to your liking, it’s not as
enjoyable. When you can boil the perfect egg, you can call yourself a chef.
I like my egg soft, but not too soft.
The yolk must be slightly solid on the outside, and soft inside. This is how I
get it right.
- I take an egg from the fridge, put it in a small pot and cover with cold water.
- I boil it at a moderately high temperature.
- As soon as the water boils, I switch the plate off and leave the egg in the pot for 1 minute.
- Then I take the pot off the stove and leave the egg for another minute.
- Finally, I plunge the egg into cold water for another minute while I butter my toast.
Voila! The perfect boiled egg.
Just a bit of nonsense information
to start in 2020.
Have you thought about what you
want to do with other 360-something days of opportunities?
Here are a few ideas:
- Start exercising – just a daily walk for 20 minutes will do the trick. You won’t ‘find’ the time – you have to make it!
- Broaden your mind – read more, go on a course (pottery, flower arranging, sewing, calligraphy, water-paints) your choice is endless. No excuses. Make time!
- Look after your health – kick bad habits in the butt. One butt at a time.
- Make new friends – they’re a breath of fresh air.
- Write a journal. Get up early to do this.
- Get organised – it will free up so much extra time, you'll be amazed!
- Teach your children to put things away – don’t clean up after them.
- Make time for your spouse. Rekindle romance. Tickle those hormones that made you fall in love in the first place.
