I'll have to try that as well, though I'm fairly certain I've tried something like that in the past. There are about 1,849,426,201 ways to get the "perfect" soft-boiled egg, and I think I've tried half of them, and have gotten it right about half the time.For the past few years I've always cooked soft boiled (duck) eggs viz:
Room temperature eggs in a saucepan with room temperature water just covering. Bring to a boil and vigorously boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan and leave for exactly 2½ minutes. Drain the water and replace with cold water to stop the cooking process.
I virtually always end up with these......

Note to self for when I buy duck eggs, I really have to try them.

We had some goose foie gras for lunch, with onion chutney and pears to celebrate that I survived this recent health crisis 
Not pictured is the crisp bread with it.

You need to experiment a bit depending on the size of the egg (and if its fridge cold) - but once you get the time right its brilliant.

Have you gone gluten free?How did it taste?
I was only curious to try a gluten-free pizza. Not bad, even if the dough was a bit chewy...

Today we sampled the Aldi* frozen lamb shanks in red wine gravy, on the recommendation of several work colleagues. We both licked the plates clean, it was absolutely lovely.

Also frozen roast potatoes and frozen peas. Lazy but very tasty.
I should be posting chicken parm tonight, but I got a wild hair and picked up tacos on the way home from shopping, so we had a big lunch late in the afternoon (for us).
So tonight, I'm just getting a head start in having parm tomorrow. I'm making the sauce, and I'm steaming some broccoli that'll get tossed in some garlic oil. Tomorrow, I'll just have to do the pasta and fry the chicken breasts.

Yorky my daughter just walked in the house after visiting s friend of hers, and said, dad have you tried duck eggs? I laughed and dug your pic out. Daughter has 4 duck eggs. Her friend gave them to her. I will experiment later. It's spooky how I just said yesterday I need to try this.
