how to poach an egg

It doesn’t take much to make me happy at the moment.

Sunlight falling through the French doors into a room that is mostly unpacked. The sight of the plum tree in bloom off our front porch. The moments of bright light that appear from behind the clouds just as I hear the snuffle of the horse in the field across the street.

And the fact that we’ve at least unpacked the kitchen enough to do a video this week.

It’s pretty simple. It’s how to poach an egg.

When I first went gluten-free, I had no idea how to poach an egg. I thought it was the special talent of chefs.

Turns out all you need is boiling water, some salt, a good egg, and three minutes.

We hope you poach an egg today.

p.s. I shot this on my iPhone, which is pretty cool. But the sound of Danny’s voice is even quieter than with the dinky little camera we had. Anyone have luck putting a mic on an iPhone? If not, you might need to read lips here.
