I’m going to try to get more at the farmers market today. Be a shame if they were no longer around

Missing a couple of slices of bacon, but I didn’t want to wait for them to defrost.

Oh, I missed that. I take it all back. Shame on you.

I package bacon, cut in half, as 4 half-slices per bag before freezing. Then microwave directly from frozen (removed from bag, between paper towels on a plate, 2-3 minutes depending on whether it’s thin or thick-cut).

I love cream cheese blobs scrambled into eggs. First read about it when a now defunct though popular magazine from the 70’s called Apartment Life published a cookbook. ETA Apartment Life became Metropolitan Home. It died anyway.

I usually package in 2, 3, or 4 slices (depending on thickness) in Saran Wrap, then foil. After defrost, cook on a skillet, sometimes cut in half to fit the pan. Hadn’t thought about microwaving straight from the freezer. Will do that next time if I need them and haven’t defrosted any.

My younger sister introduced me to it back in the early 80s. It was her and her friend’s “we got home from partying and were drunk and high and OMG WE ARE STARVING!” quick throw together at 2am before they slept it off.

Brings to mind what is called out here a “California Omelette”.
A fluffy egg omelette folded around hunks of cream cheese, avocado chunks, tomato slices, and grated cheddar cheese.
I love them.

The first scrambled eggs I liked had chevre stirred into their scrambled eggs. This was at Renoir at the Sofitel in Montreal, and the dish is no longer on their brunch menu. Scrambled eggs with chevre, servers with tabbouleh.

A NYT article about the magazine. Gift link:
NYT: Apartment Life
I found the cookbook on my bookshelf; it does not contain that egg recipe as far as I could see I think the recipe came from the magazine itself. I recognize so many pictures in the NYT article. I saved copies of the magazine for years. I suppose they got dumpstered during a move.

Wrapping up my long weekend in Minneapolis. Breakfast was leftover eggplant that I made last night using Turkish eggplant procured from the Apple Valley farmers market. I’ve never seen them at home

Frozen cabbage and bacon lasagna that I picked up at Alimentari an upscale Italian hot table located in Toronto’s Polish neighbourhood a few months ago, chased by 1/4 cornflake Ritter Sport and 5 pieces of Scottish tablet. 
This is the Canadian cultural mosaic diet.

I loved those old cast off ‘Apartment Life’ mags my bestie used to give me. I gleaned a bunch of great recipes that I still have from those issues.
She was convinced she’d win the Publisher’s Clearing House big prize if she subscribed to enough magazines. May she r.i.p. in magazine heaven.

Hollandaise made with vinegar? Is this common?

Seems like a fair sub for lemon.
