That egg-white also looks quite lumpy? But yeah - runny yolk is nice, but when the white is all jelly-like and transparent...no thx.

It was a bit lumpy yeah, I just poured it straight into the water from a cup so it's hard to avoid. How do you normally make them? I'd like to improve my technique. But I love the taste of runny yolk.

Adding a bit of vinegar to the water, then stirring to create a gentle mini whirlpool in the pot, then putting the egg in. I can't recall it ever being lumpy.

A little whirlpool hey. rather technical. Never had poached eggs. Need to find a place to break that particular virgin.

I had a green smoothie for breakfast this morning. Home made. I used my own homegrown kale for the first time which was quite cool. Just a mix of: a big handful of kale, one carrot, apple juice, one small green apple, parsely & half a teaspoon fresh ginger.
