Best First Gift of Christmas

The other night I came home to discover a package from Jeff M., opened it: these were inside.  Poach pods!  Jeff must know how hard it is for me to poach an egg right.  I've got serious poaching problems.

Tonight I gave them a trial run.


You get a pot, you get the water boiling, you turn it down, you place the pods in the water with the eggs aboard.


A few minutes later, this is what you've got!


Plopped them into some ramen, burst some yolks and got down.  I guess they were more like softly baked eggs or contained weird fried eggs but they were a lot better than my usual disaster poached eggs. I predict a long training wheels like relationship between me and my poach pods.


So thank you Mulcock family for the First Present of Christmas!

It hurts me to see a friend struggle with important issues like poaching. Anything I can do to facilitate your success helps me feel significant joy.
