I decided to have a poached egg on toast for tea. I went to get an egg from the fridge. There were two eggs in the rack. One had 2nd October printed on it. The second had 27th October on it.

I realised I knew a tip on how to check if an egg had gone off. Basically I got a glass full of water. I put the older egg in first. It floated, I put the fresher egg in. It sank. That’s exactly what should happen. Fresh eggs sink….

I’m glad I remembered that tip.. In a timely manner! The poached egg on toast was delicious.

Method for poaching

Get a frying or sauce pan.

Add a little oil and heat it.

Carefully add water to the pan , add vinegar to taste.

Bring to a gentle boil. Crack an egg into the water. Once it has solidified to the consistency you like, scoop it out and put it on the toast…
