Maid-
How do you like your eggs? Poached, fried or raw?
Meade-
Scrambled – like your head!

My
head was indeed scrambled as I attempted this supposedly easy meal. I
was to crack the eggs into a jug and “mix without beating.”
What?
What does this mean? How can it be scrambled if you don't beat them?
Beats me.
Geddit?
“Beats...” Never mind. The inclusion of chervil and chives gave
the dish more flavour, although I perhaps used too much of these. I
got them pre-chopped in little spice jars from Tesco, so had no idea
how much to put on. I still find eggs a little difficult to judge, in
terms of cooking. But it was gooood.
And
that, my friend, is the end of the egg section. I'm 7 recepies down
and have 36 to go. Time for a cholestorol test, maybe?
