Sarah : [voiceover, blogging] Yesterday, I poached an egg. It seemed like the perfect thing to do on perhaps the second worst workday in recorded history.
Sarah : Explain to me how you've never eaten an egg in your whole life ?
Julie Powell : I've had eggs in, like, cakes, never had an "egg" egg. I was a very willful child. It's simmering.
[voiceover, blogging]
Julie Powell : I had this notion, God knows why, that poaching eggs would be simple.
[Julie breaks an egg]
Julie Powell : But I was deeply wrong.
Sarah : [Sarah read the cookbook] "Immediately and gently push the while over the yolk with a wooden spoon for two or three seconds." Immediately.
Julie Powell : [Julia stirs but without success] Yurk, disgusting!
Sarah : Oh, maybe the eggs aren't fresh. Julia says the eggs have to be fresh.
Julie Powell : They are fresh.
Sarah : Okay, You don't have to bite my head off. I'm just quoting Julia.
Julie Powell : [voiceover, blogging] It took three of us, crammed into the kitchen over a pot of simmering water, but, enventually, we nailed it.
Sarah : Hello
Julie Powell : Welcome.
Eric Powell : How cute is that ?
