Dinner last night consisted of British asparagus, British plum tomatoes, sourdough bread with Brussels pate, and a couple of poached eggs.
Simple and wonderful :) Almost.
I say almost, because I've never cooked asparagus before and it was a bit underdone, but better undercooked than overcooked!
The eggs, however, were worse... I've never learned to poach eggs well. Lately, for convenience, I've been doing it in a microwave using a mug (half-fill a microwaveable mug with cold water, crack in an egg and put it in the microwave). It gets the job done but not well by any means. A poached egg done well can be a thing of joy. I think any half-decent cook would be horrified at my recent technique, and I feel I cannot be allowed to call myself a foodie or an aspiring cook if I do not, soon, learn how to poach an egg for goodness sake.
It'll be the first thing crossed off my micromastery list. What that is and what else is on it will be a blog post soon!
Dinner was followed by some British strawberries and half a square of 75% dark chocolate with salted caramel, as I curled up in bed to watch a film about food and blogging!
