A Better Poached Egg


Recently, I searched for a better poached egg. Good grief, Melton, you might say, how hard can it be to poach an egg? I know, simple! Always, in the past, I boiled water, dropped my egg in the water, waited to see my egg turn white and no longer clear, and it was then done right? Not exactly! It was still a very fluid, a runny mess! Done, but not pretty! 

Here’s a little secret I discovered! No big deal, just an easy way to help your egg transform perfectly so you can serve your guests a better poached egg! Easy now! Boil your water in a deep boiler (saucepan). I recommend 3-4 inches and brought to a rapid boil. With a large spoon, stir in a tablespoon of white vinegar. Create a strong swirl in the boiling water before dropping your egg into the water. The swirling water helps to keep the egg together. My egg was deliciously, runny, and done in only 4 minutes! Perfecto-mundo! I placed my better poached egg on a buttered, slice of Jewish Rye bread but suit yourself my friends, your favorite bread will be just as good!

Note: No taste of vinegar at all!

 Bon appetite!

This year, Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Mardi Gras in New Orleans returns after another year of the pandemic. Mayor LaToya Cantrell has told New Orleans Mardi Gras will return to the city in 2022. However, there are changes, mostly in altered routes of the famous parade through the city. Interested in going? Check with event planners. Thanks to French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, it is believed Mardi Gras began March 3, 1699 when he camped just downriver from what is now New Orleans. Back in France, it was Fat Tuesday. Pierre named the camping spot Point du Mardi Gras and held a party there! I suppose he likely toasted to the event exclaiming “Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!” I don’t know this for a fact but I’m going to go with it! A few years later, a g...

Our Allies and Strategic Partners

 Our Allies and Strategic Partners , the Pentagon, and White House officials throw these words out a lot. What do they mean? I have a basic understanding of the words but they sort of have the same meaning don't they? They do! When we hear our Defense Department officials use these words, they are very careful about how they use them. How so? In the world of international relations, they have two different meanings. Alliances Where we have alliances, we have formal agreements with other countries. Agreements in national defense that other countries promise they will support each other, especially during a war. The U.S. is in alliance with NATO -- the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NORAD -- the North American Aerospace Defense Command (with Canada), ANZUS -- Australia, New Zealand and U.S. Security Treaty, and the Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship -- Which is America's oldest unbroken treaty. Documents that make alliances official are treaties, aka "treaty ally....
