I really, really did it!

I poached an egg. A lot of eggs actually. Enough for my whole family.

And with the help of Jessie's (Ina's) delicious hollandaise sauce, we made this:


Eggs Benedict


Trying new things in the kitchen is much more fun when it works out so well!

Even Still,

Despite all the new things happening for me, I mostly want my life to be like.... well, everyone else's.

I blame the internet for this. I wouldn't have any idea about how great people's lives are, or how happily in love they are, or how great they cook, or how adorable their houses are, or all the incredible places they travel to or live, or how they can buy whatever the crap they want, etc.. if it weren't for blogs, facebook, pintrest, ask jeeves, you get the idea.

The really wonderful news about this is that all of those same internet things can make me extremely thankful for my life just the way it is.

Glass half-full kiddies. We're working on it.
