Finally recovered.
Tomorrow's breakfast will be a good one. I'm sure of it.
Bacon, Portobello, eggs, asparagus, cherry tomatoes and some toasted muffins/bread.

so i made bacon today.
you know, those kind that are wrapped around asparagus and poked through with a toothpick kind. Wanted to recreate what i ate in Taiwan a few years back, sadly i do not have the honey sauce that they use to lather the bacon bundles of joy to make it even tastier. Actually i can make that too, but after just waking up, its too much of a hassle. Decided to poach some eggs instead to compliment the savoriness of the bacon.
Great idea.
Poor execution.
The bacon was spot on. My first egg was oooook, i guess. At least it was nicely wrapped by the white, then i decided to learn from Ramsay and put it on a tissue to take out the excess water. He did it so elegantly and everything turned out so well. For me? The egg and tissue fused into one. Almost broke the yolk just trying to separate them. In the end, the yolk was exposed as the white decided to stick with the tissue instead of the yolk. My second egg, I broke the yolk. My third egg, it sank to the bottom and somehow got too cooked and it was half boiled half soft.
Back to the drawing board i guess.
