Lazy Monday Brunch

So it's the week of Christmas, work has come to a stall, and it's also snowing in London.  Though most people are probably stuck in long queues at the airport or in traffic jams on the highway, my housemates and I found ourselves cozily stuck...at home. And what better thing to do than to brainstorm on a delicious brunch.  The menu: A delicious Polenta with Mushroom Ragu and Poached Eggs.  I first came across this recipe while looking for inspiring cheap and easy-to-make foods. I especially like these bloggers way of documenting their cooking it is unpretentious, simple, and about making good food with good ingredients, at a cheap prices! The result was delicious and I'm sure with a few tweaks (didn't add salt to the polenta, because I was a bit afraid to over-do-it; cook the mushrooms longer, so they are more crunchy-- I stuck to using simple cap mushrooms, because I couldn't find shitake).  The good parts? I was surprised the breadcrumbs came out the way they did and as I have made poached eggs before, didn't botch that up at all.  Improvements: I've got to get the timing right. I made the polenta and cooked it completely before starting the mushrooms.  I ended up plating everything and keeping it in the oven whilst poaching the eggs. So if there are any suggestions on how to get it all done at the same time they are welcome.  I followed the recipe by glancing over the necessary steps and then letting my own experience guide me but this was the first time making this, after all.  And we were all really hungry at that point so I didn't want to gamble with acting like a Pro and multi-tasking the food. Here's to the old adage: practice makes perfect.
