I saw them at the Kitchen Lady's store. (I have no idea what the name of the store actually is, we just call her the Kitchen Lady and the store her store.) I think I'd like to try them, because my new way of eating involves a lot of eggs. So far, I have scrambled down pat, and can do a passable over easy. Yesterday I ventured hard boiled and was moderately successful, and enjoyed the resulting egg salad muchly. But I think poached would be a much better morning choice for me if I could master it.

Oh, whoops, just answered in Natter--

They are fabulous, I'm super excited. I had a microwave egg poacher, but could never get it to be just right. These are little silicone bendy bowls, and you put the egg in it, drop it in the hot water, and cover the pot (steam is part of the requirement), and then it's much neater than dropping the egg in the water and fishing it out. Nom.

How do you do over easy? I can't figure that one out.

Sounds like a trip to a kitchen store is in my future. And meara, I haven't forgotten that I need to meet up with you about the fitbit! It's just that this work deadline has kind of eaten my brain.

No worries, Jilli--I have a ton of stuff I want to get done this weekend...but I woke up this morning with a headache and went back to sleep until almost noon. So we'll see how much gets done. :)

I got mine at TJ Maxx, I think, for about $4. I love me some poached eggs.

Over easy is one flip, right? Timing and a well-greased skillet.

Ugh, my sympathies on the headache. I am hoping this sinus/muscle tension headache goes away before I go to the photo shoot this evening. I'm getting my portrait taken with an antique tintype camera!

And now, I should put the "fun" laptop down and get back to dayjob work. Bah.

Count Chocula: but before I do that, a PSA for other Aromaleigh users! There's a 20% off site-wide coupon! "Oktober20".

Jilli,

I have a question for you if you get the time to answer it at some point in the future:

when you go for photo shoots such as these (or others you have done), how much more preparation does it take you in terms of time to do them versus when you dress for work?

Part of me thinks that you are already so well put together for the daily work photos that it can't take you much more in prep, but I know photo shoots are special things too.

Yup, Steph has it right.

(As I wait for the work laptop to finish updating): le nubian, it takes me maybe 30 - 40 minutes more of prep time for a photo shoot than getting ready for work. Mostly because I'm being extra careful with applying my makeup, and photo shoot wardrobes are often a bit more involved than everyday clothes (corsetry, bustles, and so on).

Unless it's a photo shoot for a specific theme: getting ready for vampire or zombie photo shoots takes a lot longer, because of extra makeup to make me look (more) undead, and because Pete is very meticulous about applying my blood spatter just so.

I'm really excited about this tintype portrait shoot. If it works, I will have an actual tintype portrait to keep.
