When an example of ‘you can do it’ pops up close to home.

My daughter (25) started ‘Couch to 5k‘ exercising regime back at start of first lockdown - having never done much running or exercise since her schooldays. On Saturday she and a pal out for a 15k run decided to keep going and they managed to complete a half marathon distance. And to top that they did a 2hr 9mins time which seems mighty impressive to me.

And she said to me smiling ‘you can do it dad!’ And I know that I can. Just got to start - as she did.

The hardest part of any run is the 1 meter crossing your front door to go outside...

Someone on here recommended "frying" eggs in half an inch of water. Whoever that was (can't even think what thread) then thank you. Works a flipping treat and best eggs ever!

Agreed, mrs wedge been doing similar for years, start the egg in a teaspoon of oil as normal, then as the white becomes white, add a couple of splashes of water and put a lid over the pan for a minute or so keeping tabs. No more oil splashes trying to baste the egg, or turn it over, great eggs and ever and so easy.

Easier still as no oil at all. Half inch of water and baste in water to get perfect yolks.

Have you tried putting a lid on the pan? It traps the steam in the pan and cooks the top of the egg

That was suggested but my frying pan doesn't have a lid...the egg in my bacon and egg bap was perfect though

‘Frying eggs in water’

Its called poaching eggs!

Poaching would be submerging the whole egg.
This method uses only half an inch of water

 

[AmandaJR]

They really are not like poached eggs at all. Fried eggs without oil and the potential for overcooked bottom and undercooked top

Hmmm do I model myself on Mary, Delia or Nigella??

The second option in this video is closer to what we do, but we use less oil/ butter than she has. Other than that, perfect eggs every time.
