Poaching   April 23, 2020 The other day I made a sort of black bean and lentil stew with various other things in it. I decided as a leftover, it might benefit from being topped with a poached egg. The first time I tried it, there was some poached egg and the rest became a sort of ghostly egg drop soup. I ate it and it was fine. At some point I'll have to try to make that for real. Yesterday I tried it again, and it was a lot closer. The egg could have been cooked a little more, but otherwise the shape was decent and it tasted fine. The first time I used the swirling method with the water, which just turned the egg white into an exploding galaxy. The second time I put salt and vinegar in the water. Full size picture is here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
