Lunch 2023 (!)

I only steam 1 egg at a time - takes me 7-12 mins.

Was looking for my liquid proportion - found it: 1/2c per egg (though one recipe I learned from used the egg shell as a measure and did 3 iirc egg shells worth of liquid per egg - I am not great at cracking eggs so that wouldn’t work for me as the shell size could be anything when I’m done :rofl:)

There’s a way to cut the time in the microwave but I haven’t tried that enough to get my timing down.

Thank you @ipsedixit and @Saregama for the tips! I’ll try another batch today so fingers crossed it doesn’t split.

Fall/autumn weather has become crazy in Cali.
BITD, hikes in Point Reyes were pretty nice and the sunsets spectacular, but even in the early 70’s I can remember the sweltering hot, hot days and the smoke from the fires. No ‘spare the air’ days, then. Come Halloween, some kids would pass out during the school parades; those in the heavy bear and gorilla costumes had it bad.
We’ll never forget the Hills Fire of '91. :disappointed_relieved:
Spring was always my favorite time in the BA.

It’s taco Friday, so… Cajun shrimp, 5 spice Asian beef, and brisket tinga.

I felt well enough today to improvise rice porridge out of leftover cooked white rice and BTB. I added sliced deli ham, a packet of preserved mustard greens, and some ginger before eating. Not too bad, but it did lead to a nap.

Naps are good! And porridge can be comforting when you aren’t feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.

Today’s lunch was a tomato sandwich. I live on them during the summer and even though the temperature has cooled down I am still in denial. Only three weeks until the end of CSA season :frowning:
