Thanks for this. I can’t poach an egg to save my life.

Jen,

Thank you so much for making this video. I tried yet again to make poached eggs ala Alice Waters and failed again. It’s helpful to see that you have the water hotter than I imagined and that you start stirring right away. My whites always end up everywhere except around the yoke. I can’t wait to try again next weekend!

[...] Luckily, we love our veggies, and this time of year it’s easy to load up on them. This salad was the first of many main dish versions I have planned for the week, and it features two southern favorites: fried green tomatoes and fried okra. I did a basic dredge, first in a mixture of buttermilk and beaten egg, then coated the tomatoes and okra in seasoned flour and cornmeal, and fried them in batches until crisp and golden. I arranged them on a bed of young, peppery arugula leaves, drizzling them with a buttermilk-Tabasco vinaigrette. A smattering of halved yellow and red grape tomatoes came next, and to gild the lily a wee bit more, I topped each plate with a poached egg. [...]

melissa – really, once you’ve done it a few times you won’t think a think of it!

Cheryl – Our new kitchen will definitely be a better setup for future dorky video clips. If you guys have any suggestions I’m happy to compile a list!

I would love to see you do more video demonstrations. It really helped me to watch how you physically handle the food (even something as simple as poaching an egg), rather than trying to imagine it from your words (not that those do not give me a tremendous amount of guidance). I realise it is not something you could do all the time, but maybe on some weekends (after the move, of course)?

Thanks for the video—your blog and eggs are totally inspiring and I made them for t he first time last night over hash and salad (sound familiar) and it was a great dinner that will soon become a household staple. Thank you!
