Eggs: Poached Eggs

I woke up the other day, sprung out of bed and said "I'm going to make poached eggs today!" It was a strange start to the day. The thing is, I had no idea how poached eggs are made. Whenever I've had them they usually had been Benedictized with ham and Hollondaise sauce. I knew it involved boiling water, that's about it. So to the internet! I did research. I think this link helped the most.

I told Heather about my grand plan to conquer the poaching of an egg. She rushed out to the store and came back with heirloom eggs:

Yeah, I don't know what makes them heirloom eggs, I think it just means they are all different outside colors. Anyway, I followed the instructions, and here is my first poached egg.

It was pretty good, nice and runny. It was easy to poach the egg. I think I'll poach eggs in the future. 

I made Heather a poached heirloom egg:

She also liked it. We have two dogs now. The new one is Jamie:

We're used to Suzy's behavior, so sometimes Jamie surprises us. Like when she dug a tunnel to under our deck. There's nothing down there. We call it the "Tunnel to Nowhere". Well when we would put a plate of food down, Suzy would never dare to eat off them. She knows she's not supposed to. Heather put that egg I was nice enough to poach for her down on the ottoman and walked away. Remember, it is a flipping heirloom egg, Suzy remained asleep. Jamie ran over and ate the carefully poached heirloom egg. 

I made Heather a replacement egg, this time not of heirloom quality so we could compare the eggs. Here that is:

It tasted exactly the same as the heirloom egg. 

In conclusion, "heirloom" eggs mean they are of different colors, since they taste the same as regular eggs.
