boiled eggs

Today I decided to get creative and try boiling eggs. Now this sounds simple, but for some strange reason, I don't remember boiling eggs in the past. I'm big into omlettes, and scrambled eggs, and I've boiled eggs in the microwave, but I've never placed eggs in a pot or pan on the stove.

So I did a bit of investigation on the internet, and found a fantastic website, which describes how to boil the perfect egg - either soft boiled or hard boiled. Unfortunately, I closed the browser window, and can't remember the URL.

I also came upon an interesting piece in the guardian, about the lack of cooking skills in the UK, where apparently only 4 out of 10 girls in the UK have ever boiled an egg in their life! I wonder how many guys have boiled eggs? one of out a thousand???

Anyway, the eggs came out perfectly, and accompanied my buttenut pasta lunch (the pasta had butternut flavour, or had been made together with butternut). I also grated a small amount of gouda over the pasta to give flavour to the meal.

And the accompanying drink - a chilled glass of tap water with a dash of berrocca in a V Long Martini type glass (looks like a martini glass without the handle)
