Challenge me, Hipocrisy

You act like a machine. Your interactions leave me feeling skimmed- like a superficial wave washed over me- “what was the point? I'm not wet, barely misted. I'm offended that as a friend, this is the conversation you continue to offer. It's like someone keeps spitting in my face, and telling me they believe this will quench my thirst.”

  1. He stood 7 feet above the ground and looked out over the ocean. He seemed mighty tiny. His utterances yearn to be the vehicle of expressing the depths of compassion and love. And he's simple. His depths are compassion and love. And that in itself is beautiful, like looking tiny beside the Atlantic Coastline. You on the other hand, hold it all in- behind sad shark eyes. You tell me America is great, but you don't believe it yourself. You say you're an optimist, but any outward look you give is melancholic or scrutinizing. I'm not sure what's beautiful about someone who finds such bliss in ignorance and such routine in hypocrisy.

Culinary Art!

And innovation. SO proud of myself.

For anyone out there who may have a similar problem- loving poached eggs, and the added benefit of lower calories by preparing them this way (or just really loving poached eggs)... but not having an egg poacher- WORRY NOT! There is a solution. An easy one too.

The magical solution to your problem comes in the form of a Mason Jar lid-ring. That's right, just the lid-ring.
1)You place the ring in the bottom of an empty pot.
2)Fill the water inside and outside the ring, until both levels just crest and meet each other at the top of the lid-ring... NO HIGHER. Believe me you'll defeat the purpose, and your egg will swim.
3)Bring the water to a barely boiling boil (tiny air bubbles present) and lower heat to mid-low/medium.
4)Finally, crack your egg into the lid-ring, being careful not to break the yolk. If you want to be a safety/perfectionist freak like me... I like to crack my egg into a cup, and then poor it into the lid-ring.
That's it!

Perfect Every Time.
