I had forgotten all about poached eggs and the like. I love sdo much omelettes and they are so perfect with leftovers that other ways of using eggs were completly lost. But today I did not want to use oil or eat anything that would be fried. So when the soup was finished, I took away the carrot to eat it as my salad and placed the egg in the boiling broth until the white was cooked and the yolk was soft. I had a good lunch. I will have to think about something else to eat in 2 or 3 hours though. It was too light.

i watched a cooking program and they poached and egg by tying it in a plastic bag, not tried it yet as I usually poach quite well, but have had the odd disaster lol .......it seemed a good way to keep more of the egg intact

I´m not sure that I´d like the egg in plastic. I prefer a disaster once in a while

When my husband is sick he likes a sweet cornstarch porridge. You put a little cornstarch in the milk, dissolve it and heat it. You can't put too much starch because otherwise it will thicken a lot. Also, you can't throw the starch in the hot milk to avoid lumps. It has to dissolve in cold milk. You can sweeten it with sugar or a sweetener of your choice. Hope you get well.

@kobesbuddy No. But today I ate the rest of the soup. I think that tomorrow I will eat normal food.

@marguicha You aren't used to eating bland food, that lacks flavor.

I hate when its to light. My sister does it to me all the time she hates when there is to much food on the plate, so she makes my brother serve these small portions. I go I will be hungry in a hour.Glad it was good though.

I like to serve small portions and eat more if I feel it is not enough. But now I have been eating small portions because I have had stomach trouble. But I´m better now.
