Tonight was the February edition of girls night, so Shannon is out and about eating Italian themed foods and I'm at home to cook for myself. It's just as well since I happened to have indulged in excess amounts of alcohol last night and I am not particularly enthused about doing much of anything.

Still, I felt it necessary to prepare something that Shannon is either allergic to or dislikes, so I quickly fixed up a Poached Egg on Green Beans complete with runny yolks, just like I like them. This dish took mere minutes to prepare and, while it's not exactly what I would typically describe as hangover food, it hit the spot. The beans have a bit of garlic and lemon added to them which compliments the poached egg quite nicely.
