I'm just no good at making menu lists, and never stick to them if I do make them.

I have a Lakeland egg-perfect egg timer (link wouldn't copy for some reason, but should be eBay to find on their website). It is a red egg shaped thing that you put in with the eggs, and it gradually turns black as the eggs cook. Clever, and it works - though you do have to keep an eye on it to see when the eggs are done.

I always have the hardest time planning meals.....great job!

Sarah said...

Lol, ask me at the end of the week whether I have stuck to this plan! It's a good way though of focusing my mind when I make my shopping list so that I don't buy too much (or not enough) food.

Sarah said...

I've tried every method...Delia, BBC guide, advice from friends, but I never seem to manage to get the yolk nice and runny and the white sufficiently cooked. But I press-on. I'll perhaps need to get a timer, thanks! :)

Sarah said...

Thanks Mrs B, as I said to Elizabeth, whether I actually stick to it is another thing! :)

Getting a boiled egg just right is 99% luck imo. Nice menu plan, Sunshine.

Sarah said...

Have you ever tried to prick the egg with a pin before boiling? I find that nigh-on impossible. Can't get the cursed needle through the shell, end up pricking me fingers!

I need to practice more, I get disheartened by the unrunny yolk or too runny white. lol.
