one dozen eggs = one dozen meals

It sucks to be broke. But I make a mean poached egg. Here is my recipe; feel free to copy it down, if you'd like.

First, set a pot of water boiling. Cry a little bit about how you're sick of eggs. If desired, season the water after it begins to boil. Rack your brain for ways to make a fast buck as you crack an egg into a measuring cup, noting how little food one egg really is. Submerge measuring cup into boiling water, releasing the egg into the water. Wander into the living room to pet the cat. Forget about the poaching egg. Return in a panic to the stovetop and boiling-over egg water. Salvage what you can, pat dry with a paper towel, and enjoy, preferably while watching VH1's "All Access: Celebrity Makeovers" or "Drug Years: 1965-1975"

***TIP: I find that placing the poached egg on a small "dessert plate" helps the meal seem larger and so much heartier.
