Quite a long time ago now we were watching on and off, with a fair amount of disbelief, a whole hour long Delia cooking show on cooking eggs. Boiling them, poaching them, etc. Nothing at all fancy, just the very,very basics.

Oh how we laughed! How could anyone not know how to boil a bloody egg!

Well, us apparently. Somehow we totally failed to cook 3 hard boiled eggs to add to our salad. And that was after checking the Edmonds cookbook for the time, as we were disagreeing about how long they needed (8 minutes, apparently), and carefully setting the watch to make sure we cooked them that long.

Only something went wrong, and they certainly weren’t hard boiled! More like pretty soft boiled. Which made them pretty damn intersting to peel! Still, at least they were nice mushed up on toast as a pre-salad snack.

Delia, I appoogise. I should have been watching, rather than laughing.
