Just how I like my eggs 😋👌🏽 

Your bread looks great Sam 👍. Doesn't homemade taste sooo much better?😋 

simply great Sam I may be going on a bread making course, friend suggested so hopefully can follow your inspiration 

One of my favourites  

Sammy this bread looks amazing 😋 this the kind of bread I love 👌we call it in Russian " black bread"  

Definitely worth the effort, it looks brilliant! 

Thanks y'all! 😀 I'd never done it before and felt amazing when I took it out of the oven! Woohoo! 🍞 Sending everyone a virtual slice!  

sleekbeach - a bread making course? There's an idea! That might be great fun! 

Julia that is awesome! I wonder why 'black bread'? What do they put in it? X 

Inspiration is right! I couldn’t help but copy your idea 😋  

Impressed by how well you've poached the eggs. I can never get them right.  

Hey RichDeegs! I've always found it quite easy. I take a large pan, filled halfway with cold water. Bring to the boil on the stove. I never add salt to the water as it toughens the egg whites. Then, once boiling, working quickly, use a spoon/flat whisk to create a whirlpool in the centre of the pan. Have ready 1 or 2 eggs, together in a small cup, and immediately, gently slide them into the water. The yolks will look like they're being flung out to the edges while the white looks feathery and disgusting, but it will be ok! Set your timer to 4 minutes, turn the heat to the lowest, and wait! After that time, the eggs will have joined together somewhat. There may be feathery bits of white but not much at all. Using a slotted spoon, carefully cut the eggs apart and then drain them on the edge of the pan. Slide carefully onto your toast and breakfast is served! Now lots of people use vinegar in the water. The acid helps the whites to coagulate so they set nicely. My mum and dad HATE the smell of vinegar so I had to devise a way to make perfect poachies without vinegar! This works really well for me, every time! Make it a great week Sam x 

Little bit of vinegar in the pan makes eggs perfect 

Eggs look perfect! Yum
