The Story of the Poached Egg

Last week was filled with parties and good food, friends and dancing. It was non-stop action and I loved every minute. But when I look back on my favorite moment, it was a quiet conversation with Linda. We’ve met a few times and as we chatted she told me that I had changed her 90 year old mothers life. Shocked, I asked how. Linda’s mother is blind due to Macular Degeneration and Diabetes. She lives alone and still cooks for herself, amazingly. Her favorite food in the entire world is poached eggs. Once she became blind, she could no longer boil water in order to make her favorite eggs. The moment Linda read my post on poached eggs done in the microwave she called her mom, who lives out of state, and told her about this discovery. Every day since, this dear woman has been able to cook her favorite food again and enjoy this simple but special treat. It’s stories like this that touch my heart and make me grateful for tender mercies. Happy Sunday!
