Everytime I try to do poached eggs I get caught up in all the randomness. You have a saucepan full of boiling water and put your eggs into it and you scoop them out and that's all meant to be good?
Perhaps, but man there is so much left to chance. But maybe that's the point of it. I did wondrous then and man, everything went wrong.
But then I had some toast and My Egg was there and everything was ok. So maybe poached eggs aren't bullshit and it's just about technique and appreciation.
