Julie/Julia's "how to boil an egg"

Have you seen the adapted-from-a-true-story movie Julie and Julia which starred Meryl Streep and Amy Adams?

From an internet review, the synopsis of the movie goes like this...

The synopsis for Julie & Julia looks something like this: “The film follows Powell, a government employee who decides to cook her way through legendary cook Julia Child’s classic cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in one year’s time out of her small Queens kitchen. Powell blogs her daily experiences, gaining a loyal following along the way.”

It is only in this movie that I learned how to boil and egg. So far I think this is the only quick recipe that was shown in the movie that's why I tried to boil an egg according to it. Another reason why I tried to boil an egg is that i was wondering if it does really taste like butter as what Julie Powell says on the movie.

After a few tries, I came to finish a boiled egg (without its shell) out of simmering water. Julie and Julia said that the eggs must be fresh. So I finished boiling an egg. My first try was not really boiled but it was half boiled because the yolk wasn't still cooked, but I thought that it is okay since my brothers like half cooked yolk in sunny side up dishes. My latest attempt was 3/4 cooked yolk. But i'm already getting the "butter" taste.

While I was thinking, boiling an egg in simmered water is better compared to cooking it sunny side up with oil.. Coz' the look of the egg when boiled in simmering water is the same as when you cook an egg sunny side up. It does not have oil, just water. So I think the cholesterol you can get is less.

Try to watch the movie guys! And you'll be inspired to make some French dishes, too! Especially to housewives or to anyone who loves to cook.

Inspired bu the movie Ratatouille, according to chef Gusteau, "Anyone can Cook! ;p

Enjoy cooking everyone! ;p
