I only just heard someone use the phrase BWM this past week, and I took to it like white on rice. In my humble opinion, we are all entitled to at least one BMW per day.
\nI invite you to take this opportunity to get whatever is on your chest, off your chest. Go for it<\/strong>!<\/em>
\nThere are no rules for BMW\u2019s. You can moan about anything you please, and remember \u2013 the moan may not sound horrific to the person who has \u2018volunteered\u2019 to hear your BMW \u2013 and that\u2019s okay. This is for YOU. Having said that \u2026 here follows my BMW, which may not sound like a big deal to you, but for me it was! Thank you, in advance, for listening!
\nMy Monday BMW.<\/strong><\/em>
\nI went to a local caf\u00e9 yesterday to meet up with some of my friends for an early morning breakfast (8:30 a.m. on a Sunday \u2026 what were we thinking?)<\/em>.<\/p>\n


\nI was still kind of \u2026 well \u2026 to be perfectly honest \u2026 feeling the affects of a Saturday night Karaoke party \u2026 so I thought, I\u2019ll order some poached eggs for breakfast. Protein will perk me up.
\nPoached eggs are fantastic (with salt and hot sauce \u2013 oh and a dry piece of toast to dip into the yoke). They are as clean an egg as a hard-boiled egg. No calories added to it in the cooking.
\nSo, I said to the waiter, \u201cI\u2019d like 2 poached eggs, with 2 slices of dry toast and a small fruit salad, please.\u201d And he said, \u201cPoached eggs are not on the menu.\u201d And I said, \u201cOh well, perhaps you could ask the cook to make them.\u201d And the waiter said, \u201cWe don\u2019t have the equipment for a poached egg.\u201d
\nOkay \u2026 so here\u2019s my BMW<\/strong> \u2026 there is no equipment for a poached egg!!! You throw it on a few inches of boiling water.
\nThis is not the only restaurant in my neighborhood where I have encountered problems with poached eggs. I live in a section of New York City where poached eggs are not known. How can that be!!!??!!!!
\nWhat to do? Aside from bitch about it.<\/em><\/strong>
\nI am printing out instructions on how to cook a poached egg, and I am mailing it to all the diners and cafes I frequent in my neighborhood, asking them to please teach their cooks\/chefs to make poached eggs! Will I have effectively created a neighborhood that knows how to whip up poached eggs? Possibly, although I doubt it. But it will give me an opportunity to really get this BMW out of my system!
\nHow does one cook a poached egg<\/a>?
\nWhat’s your beef? Your BMW? Leave a comment or write me<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
