Poached eggs are my bitch!

I decided to try a simple sauce and after a quick peruse of various options online I rummaged through my fridge and made a sauce out of sour cream, dijon mustard and fresh dill and it was so goooooood. Served it on top of a hash brown patty instead of an English muffin.

This is good. Now I can try the poached egg on some dinner dishes for JZ and finesse a little more protein into her diet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My mother has assured me that either childbirth or menopause will fix my headaches right up.

Eggs. Blah.

My god, why do I still want Nutella?

Because it’s way better than childbirth or menopause?

Re: migraines, times of the month, etc.

So, I had really bad pain monthly, starting from age 16. Back in the day, aspirin would not cut the pain, and when advil was available OTC that was a fucking wonder drug. I learned since that I could take 3 tablets, and then 4 (responsibly), but after the pain, etc. got really bad about 5 years ago, I had to have a fibroid removed. the doctors thought that such a small fibroid wasn't likely to cause all of my symptoms, but when it came out, I didn't need to be on advil AND vicodin 2 days of every month.

“Not dead yet!”

I want Hec's poached eggs on hash browns. (Although I'm not a huge fan of dill.)

Instead, I am having a Pop-Tart. (I plan to make up for this by going and having yummy Mexican and margaritas once I know the kids are safe and in the keeping of their grandparents.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Dill with it.

Oooh, herby snap!

The only reason I have fresh dill is because JZ got a bunch to make Tzatziki. But it's lasted surprisingly long in the fridge and it works well with tangy/creamy stuff. Plus it has a lot of visual appeal to me. It's very delicate when you mince it up.

I wonder what other sauces I can put on poached eggs besides Hollandaise...

Pbbbbblllllltttttttttt (I'm too tired for anything snappier)

Make a basic Bechamel and tweak it from there? Or a cheese sauce? I'm also a big fan of just a good, fresh pico de gallo. Some warmed tortillas on the side and nom.

I'm leaning this way.

Zazie has a poached egg dish they do with a kind of Italian roasted tomato. The acid of the tomato works really well with the richness of the egg. I need to figure out what they do other than throwing it in a pan with olive oil, garlic and herbs.
