My husband likes poached eggs. I have always been more of a scrambled/omlette/fried/boiled kind of a gal. I don't really know how to do a poached egg. Ryan has a whole big routine involving bowls of cold water, polking holes in yolks, placing plates on top of said bowls and then microwaving for EXACTLY 3 min and 15 seconds.
He hasn't had a poached egg for a while. This morning I thought I would be a champ and whip some up for him. I couldn't remember his little egg routine. He was upstairs getting ready so I winged it. BIG Mistake. BIG.HUGE! Ryan came down and I announced that I made him eggs and trotted over to the micro. I opened the door grabbed the plate perched precariously on top of the bowl. The eggs EXPLODED spewing scalding hot water and egg all over me. I dropped the plate and it shattered at my feet.
It would have been funny if it hadn't hurt so bad. Okay, maybe it was a little funny, considering I was wearing glasses and they were completely covered in egg. Not to mention my pajamas that were doused in hot water and egg bits. Oi! Ryan cleaned up the big old fat mess while I ran both arms and hands under cool water.
I have been quoting The Office all day. When offered a pain reliever (you know because I seemed a little fussy), I came back with "Ya I'm fussy, I'm sitting here with blooding stumps for arms." ;) The Injury is my favorite episose of The Office. It's always fun to channel Michael Scott. I want to wrap my arms in bubble wrap! Maybe tomorrow I will cook some bacon on the Foreman grill! Hopefully I won't endanger myself or others at breakfast tomorrow! :)

Aww you poor thing. Trying to be sweet and look what happens. I hope you aren't burned to bad. That totally sounds like something that I would do. My mom used to call me calamity Jane. If there's a way to make a boo boo I'll find it lol.
Ack! I'll be sure to remember this about poached eggs. Never made them before, and now I have a good reason to never learn! Hope your feeling better.
Oh lordy, Jori! I'm SO sorry!!
We always poached eggs in boiling water and I always loved. That was BEFORE I wound up having boiling water poured over my right upper arm and the third degree burns which followed...I haven't had one since. :oS So, as soon as I read you had a poached egg incident, I just KNEW it would be bad.
OK, so my mom loves hot tea, and does her cups of hot water for said tea in the microwave. I'm a good daughter, so while I am a tea kettle kind of girl, I microwave for her when I'm home since she doesn't have a tea kettle.
....Until the cup of water exploded on me when I reached in to get it one time. I had read that that could happen, and by gawd, it did.
I'm still a tea kettle girl. Water and Microwaves (plus eggs!!!) are a scary mix, I tell ya!
Sorry you're pink and sore! Thank goodness for glasses and jammies, right?
