A poached egg can be a delicate and delicious breakfast or lunch option. To poach an egg, begin by adding three cups of a water and a quarter cup of white vinegar to a sauce pan. Place the pan over medium heat and let it come to a low boil or simmer. In the meantime, break one egg into a small dish. When the water is just bubbling in the pot, slide the egg into the water. Allow it to set and do not stir or disturb the water. Turn the heat down to low/medium. Let the egg cook in the simmering water for three minutes (or longer if you’d like a more firm yolk). Pull the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain the water. Poached eggs are often served with toast.

Due to the recent economic crisis and the increasing pressure on schools to boost math and science scores, many schools are allocating less money to arts and music. While these are important subjects, some school districts just don’t have enough money to fully fund those programs. One solution to this problem is a community foundation. Community foundations are established by community members interested in helping schools maintain programs that are no longer supported by direct funding. Foundations raise money through donations and special events and allocate that money directly to the school for the programs they’ve identified.
