Explain to me how you've never eaten an egg in your whole life ? Julie Powell:
I've had eggs in, like, cakes, never had an "egg" egg. I was a very willful child. It's simmering. [voiceover, blogging] Julie Powell:
I had this notion, God knows why, that poaching eggs would be simple. [Julie breaks an egg] Julie Powell:
But I was deeply wrong. Sarah:

Yurk, disgusting! Sarah:
Oh, maybe the eggs aren't fresh. Julia says the eggs have to be fresh. Julie Powell:
They are fresh. Sarah:
Okay, You don't have to bite my head off. I'm just quoting Julia. Julie Powell:
