Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So it turns out I don't know how to poach eggs, but I'll get there. Otherwise, the kale/choriso thing was delicious, although I used three pans, which is a little much for a quick dinner...

Oooh, sounds good. I'm still mourning my lost chorizo, but I have some "braising mix" from the produce store (looks like mostly chard and kale), and some spicy TJs sausage from the freezer.
That is, if I don't end up driving down to Fremont to see a friend who is apparently in the Bay Area on travel this week...

I use a small pan, add a teaspoon of white vinegar to the water, swirl the water and drop the egg in. You have to drop the egg from a little shallow dish of some kind - you can't crack it directly into the little whirlpool of water.
I did that, but I didn't cook it long enough, so I threw the whole thing in the microwave for a little bit to finish cooking the white.

Timing is key! I always play a song on iTunes that's in the range of 2:44. I remove the egg when the song is over.
I'm fucking miserable. Trying to decide between a flight home or crashing at a friend's place. Please remind me of this the next time I talk about going home.
That kale, chorizo, and poached egg dish looks delicious. I have an egg poacher that cooks them in the microwave, so I am a total cheater.
Oh Allyson, I say go hang with friends for the next few days. No fair being miserable on your birthday.
Aw, Allyson, we are coming to Boston and you could come hang out at the Science Museum with my kids tomorrow. My mother is insane, but not in ways that would much affect you.
