Poached eggs in water take some doing. You need:Stainless steel skimmerglass ramekin/custard cupsaucepan with water up at least 3"Tbsp of vinegar1/2 teaspoon of saltGet the water boiling (not too hard), and add the vinegar and salt. Carefully break the eggs into the ramekin. This helps keep the yolk and the albumen sack from breaking. Gently pour the eggs into the boiling water and set the timer for 4 minutes. Put a wooden spoon across the top of the saucepan. The spoon will prevent the water from boiling over if you're not paying attention. When the timer goes off, take the pot off the stove and use the skimmer to remove and drain the eggs. After 4 minutes, the white is cooked but the yolk is runny. 5 minutes firms up the yolk to medium, 6 to hard.
Instructions for scrambling eggs might sound stupid but it's amazing how many people scorch eggs or overcook them into dried out glop. Scramble your eggs in a blender with a TBLS of heavy cream for each one. Get 'em nice and fluffy. Heat a cast iron pan first with a TBLS of veg oil and then as it begins to smoke a little, take it off the burner before pouring in the eggs. You'll cook the eggs without scorching. Use a rubber spatula to turn them constantly until cooked. Plate while they're still moist but not runny and they won't dry out. Grate Cougar Gold white cheddar over the top. Add a few drops of truffle oil, salt and pepper, and viola! Perfect scrambled eggs every time.
I don't care for eggs. Scrambled eggs with milk in them are gross. Eggs that are under cooked make me want to puke.

You'd be all over that, huh Big Shooter? Is there anything but organic caviar from sturgeon? Oh yeah. Some caviar is made with preservatives made from Borax. It gives it a shelf-life of forever but tastes like soap. If you've ever had cheap caviar off the shelf at a market, you know what I mean. It's disgusting. And it's surprising how many people sell it. We won't touch caviar with preservatives.
