Nice local egg scramble with stupid dried dill bc Ms. Stoopid over heah decided not to pick up any fresh herbs while at the store earlier, despite probz also wanting some (parsley & dill, mainly) for dinner tonite
Aldi’s cold smoked (sic) gravlax with dill & horseradish on the side.
Neither of which were worthy of photographic evidence
Hey, don’t you call that good cook at your house names!! (aka - be kinder to yourself )All of us have skipped over / missed buying grocery items at some point and had to improvise.
Ahahahaha. I was just PO’d that we had to go back to the store just for parsley & dill, bc I really did want fresh herbs in my salad dressing. 's all good, I can take my own abuse
Well, breakfast was supposed to be a poached egg (with a NEW “fool-proof” method Facebook alerted me to) over baby spinach with some of last night’s leftover hollandaise, BUT the egg yolk broke when I cracked the egg into the strainer, so I tossed that and pivoted to 2 soft-boiled eggs.
I musta lost track how long ago I got these eggs from my friend, bc they were no longer good
And so, a tiny plate of sautéed baby spinach with hollandaise is WFB. Yay
YouTube inspired -cornmeal muffin with stirred in cooked breakfast sausage crumbles and cheddar. Hers were a from-scratch recipe, for 24. I still have boxes of cornbread mix from a sale last year, and was glad to get 6 tall “loaded” muffins with the stir-ins using 1 box. Pretty good for a pre-coffee baking effort.
That same video on make-ahead breakfasts suggested cooking sausage patties for English muffin / egg sandwiches, which I did while the muffins baked. And an egg-bake with some of the cooked crumbled sausage which may get done tomorrow.
Welp. That’s it. I’d sworn to myself and all that is holy (not a lot TBF) to never attempt poaching eggs again. Everrrrr.
But hey - someone posted a TOTALLY FOOL-PROOF method recently (never mind the myriad of such ‘fool-proof’ methods I have tried over the GDMF decades). It actually even looked achievable.
I had super-duper fresh eggs from a buddy, strained the floopy whites, sprayed the ladle, rested the eggs in there, gently lowered them into the simmering water. Fool-proof my ASS. Tossed them in the sink. What a spectacular waste of perfectly good eggs.
