    Hi MWC
    Hope you are well and looking forward to your holiday.

    As you are an eggspert (sorry!!) , have you any tips on poaching eggs?
    I love them but I can never seem to get them right!

    Good morning sheilds
    I'm very well - thank you - I hope you are too!
    I've never had any success with the chef-y ways of poaching eggs either so I cheat and use silicone moulds. I think I bought mine in l@keland but I've just had a look and you can get something identical for less than half the price with free P&P on eb@y.

    Oh my word MWC - I am reeling at your profligate use of fancy whisky to make marmalade! :eek: :rotfl:

    I don't think I've ever spent £95 on any alcohol (although I do have a bottle of £££ dessert wine lurking in my wardrobe that I'm afraid to open) :o

    Only the accidentally expensive one. Our bedroom is decidedly on the cool side, probably the closest to cellar conditions I can find!
