I am... in love with food


Hey guys!

This post will be about food. In the English class we got the homework to look for food blogs on the internet, choose a favorite one and write about it. It took me just a moment to find this really awesome one:

It is written by "an average girl who likes food and photography" (as you can read it in the ABOUT section). She is especially fond of noodles, bacon, potatoes and breakfast food. So, beside the bacon, she has the same preferences as I do.
When entering the blog you will be simply blown away by the awesome pictures she took of the recipes she cooked. I could not help myself but moan when flicking through the recipes. Yeah, mmmh, oh my good... , that looks so..., yummy! Yes, I have to tell you I am in love with food.

What took my interested was "The Easiest Poached Egg Recipe". Since I love eggs in every variation poached eggs are yet another idea of how to serve them. It's funny, because tried to make poached eggs just a few days ago. Making poached eggs is probably the most difficult procedure in cooking eggs. Or: "The holy grail of eggs, if you will." (as she describes it) It was a very spontaneous decision to make them for dinner. However, I tried it the traditional way: Bring water to cook. Add some vinegar. Season the water with salt (try the cubes for making soup make it more tasty). Then bring down the temperature. The water should only simmer a bit. Crack open an egg into the water and bring it together with two table spoons. The yellow of the egg should be enclosed by the white. Well...

... that's at least how it should work. You guys can be glad that I did not took pictures of my first attempt. I can't even put it in words what happened in that pot. Disgusting. Poor egg.

I didn't give not up that fast and tried it a second time. It worked! Hooray! It looked great and it was delicious! This delicious poached egg in it's oozy consistence harmonized greatly with french toast.

Beside the great things you cold do with eggs there are a lot of different recipes (also with fish or meat free) on that blog. I really can't wait to try out some more. Oh gosh, those pictures of food really turn me on. I warmly recommend this blog to you!
See you!
