Toast, butter, jam or Marmite are sure to be part of the team.<br /><br />I have quite a few egg cups, many of them are antique or at least vintage. It's fun to try to find old egg cups with unchipped edges.<br /><br />I'll have to give the 4 1/2 minute timing a try. I've usually aimed for somewhere between 3 and 4 minutes for soft boiled.<br /><br />Maybe tomorrow. It was oatmeal for me this morning, and that had to cook for five minutes.<br /><br />Best wishes.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-20671409824212630852016-11-26T13:34:27.203+00:002016-11-26T13:34:27.203+00:00I prefer a hard boiled egg, but, as you said, it t...I prefer a hard boiled egg, but, as you said, it takes more time and patience.
