Ice Cubes with Lime

A Fun Summer Tip, this is a very easy tip but now and again we forget the simple things! Great way to to use up Limes or Lemons which have been half used or on there way out. Also fantastic for those Summer drinks like Lemonade etc Also if having people round its that little bit of thought rather than shop bought ice cubes! This idea can also be used with Herbs when having cocktails by using Basil etc.

Ingredients:

1 Lime or Lemon or Both
Evian Mineral Water
Ice cube Tray

What to do:

take the Lime and slice cut into small wedges (small enough to fit into each ice cube slot), pour the Evian water over the limes and freeze!!!

I told you it was simple, but people enjoy the simple things in life!

Perfect Poached Egg Every Time

This is a great tip I have picked up, works every time!

I love poached egg but could never get it the same every time. I have tried every gadget and old wives tale going but nothing works as well as this.

STEP ONE:

Get a small bowl and some 'food safe' cling film. Place the cling film in the bowl and make a well. Crack the egg into the well.

STEP TWO:

Pull together all the sides of the cling film. Twist the cling film together at the top so that the egg dangles below when lifted out of the bowl.

STEP THREE:

Heat a pan of water until boiling, then place the egg into the pan. Cook for 3 1/2 minutes (if doing 2 eggs at a time change it to 4 minutes)

STEP FOUR:

Remove the egg from the pan and cut the top off the cling film. Peel back the cling film from the poached egg.

Perfect runny poached egg...done!
