Sunrise Ditty

Need a quick boost of energy that has protein as well as low in calories? Then the sunrise ditty might be the one for you. After my morning workout, I want to eat something quick that is low in calories (250-400), easy and tasty. In this situation, I usually opt for a meal with eggs and meat, and lately, I have been preparing them faster than a Ford assembly line. The procedure is fairly simple: fry an egg and some ham or turkey in a skillet, then prepare toast to make a sandwich, and once the egg has been well cooked, place it on top of the cooking lunch meat and add cheese to the top of the pile. Once the toast is ready, place everything in the skillet inside the pieces of toast and you will have created the sunrise ditty.

P.S. Any type of jelly or jam is a must.

The Secret and Easiest Method of Poaching an Egg

A poached egg is an egg that has been cooked by poaching, that is to say, cooked in water without the use of oil or fat in its preparation. Popular dishes for poached eggs include Eggs Benedict, Eggs Florentine, and Eggs Fletcher. Poached eggs are also the basis of some soups and Louisiana Creole cuisine.

Ingredients

• Eggs!
• Optional: Bread
• Optional: Vinegar and salt

Method of Preparation

1. Prepare a pan of water and heat it to a simmer.
2. Begin stirring the water vigorously to create a vortex in the water.
3. Quickly crack the egg and carefully place it into the water.
4. Allow the egg to cook in the water for about 3 minutes (if you prefer a hard yolk, 5-8 minutes is required, depending on how cold the egg is and how hot the water is.)
5. With a large, cooking spoon, rescue the egg from the hot water bath and place it on your plate.
6. Poached eggs are usually served with toast or a bread of your choice.

Tips

• Fresh eggs usually yield better results
• The 'perfect' poached egg has a runny yolk, with a hardening crust and no raw white.
• A bit of vinegar and salt may be added to prevent the dispersion of egg white as it is slid into the water.

BREAKING NEW RESEARCH: it is indeed possible to cook without use of microwaves

Welcome to The Cooking Gentleman!

Hello, my name is Kyle and I am a college biology major. I am not a professional chef or anything, but I do enjoy cooking although, sometimes find myself in the same boat as my fellow gents: without an idea of what to cook or at how to cook it. Cooking has been a growing hobby in my life and after completing my chemistry requirements in college, I became even more interested in cooking because I found it just as interesting mixing ingredients and edible elements to create flavorsome meals as mixing various chemical and elements to create a mixture.

Also, as I'm sure you're aware, there are literally thousands of cooking websites and blogs that have even more recipes and cooking tips. Most of them are geared towards women or people who know exactly what they are doing in the kitchen. However, as a gentleman with little cooking experience, one may be lost, perhaps at how to create a meal or what to create for a specific situation.

Therefore, The Cooking Gentleman has put together successful recipes that cater to that special situation that will satisfy your own food cravings and your loved ones. Whether cooking for that special woman or hosting neighborhood birthday parties for your 8 year child, these recipes are super easy to follow and will show you exactly how to cook your masterpiece in plain-American-no-cooking-experience-required-gentlemanly English
