Exams are my biggest bugbear mind.

Poaching eggs.

 

[Spicy]

I am rubbish at reading instructions and if I do read them it is always a quick scan rather than reading them carefully. Makes life difficult often.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Poaching eggs.

Big pot of boiling water, get a fork and stir the water around into a whirlpool. Once it's up so speed tip egg into the eye of the storm and just leave it until it looks poached. Once it looks good fish it out with a spoon and place on hot buttered toast.


And there is a theory about using a dash of vingar in the water but I think this is an old-wives tale; pure water in my kitchen.

Driving. Finally passed my test in my mid thirties since when I've driven a car approximately seven times. I just don't enjoy it in anyway. The great thing is that my Mrs loves it and is also a little scared of my "attempts" and therefore chauffeurs me everywhere

In fact maybe I should just change it to 'being a bloke' seeing as she does all the DIY and I do the hoovering, cleaning and as much cooking as I'm there for.

Same here. Totally hate driving a car. I have only owned a car for a very short period of my life.

Sunglasses for me.

I'm bloody brilliant at sunglasses. I've got loads, and so many of them are winners...

I fail at financial management, keeping in touch with old mates and getting birthday cards to people at the right time.

And getting enough sleep.

Having a beer before the sun is over the yardarm. Would probably help if I knew what a yardarm was.

Modesty. Other than that, I'm perfect.

Mid day.

A golden rule of mine that is, apart from St Paddy's day 2013 when we kicked off against them lot at 12.

Anyone who reads instructions is a bit odd in my opinion. Sort of person who drinks half pints of beer and washes their car on a regular basis.

Vinegar makes them taste rank !

Another way, if you want to cook multiple poached eggs is to :

1. Get a tea cup and put clingfilm in it ( leaving some extra to twist at the top )
2. Rub a bit of olive oil in the clingfilm ( to stop the egg from sticking )
3. Break in an egg
4. (optional) spinkle in a herb of your choice - parsley or chives are good
5. Twist the clingfilm to create a little sealed package with the egg in the bottom
6. Place carefully into simmering water and cook for 3-4 minutes
7. Remove package and cut clingfilm with a pair of sissors

Perfect poached eggs.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Everyone else's dancing. My own moves are perfection/sex on legs but common taste hasn't quite caught up to them yet.

Definitely not that I suck at it.

Nope.

You never drink before 12 noon? That is mind boggling self control. 12 noon? 12? Noon? You sure?
