Miriam and Dan left this morning to visit San Francisco. They abandoned a fridge full of things nearly rotten. I have to eat as many of them as quickly as possible. It’s a food race!
On the plus side, their food is fancier than my food has been for a while.
This is a breakfast-stuffed-pepper on a bed of fried tortillas. It’s stuffed with scrambled eggs, peppers, onions, cheese and mushrooms (and butter and heavy cream, of course).
It has been over a week since I last posted, it’s been tumultuous. At least for me.
This isn’t really that pretty. I miss Jamey and his egg assistance. I had some ground beef and I gently hard boiled some eggs. The interesting part of this is the mushrooms and I think I should have de-stemmed something. It still tasted good.
Chicago! I don’t have enough shelf space for my books so they‘re all in boxes indefinitely. I also have bunches of other boxes to unpack.
But we cooked breakfast this morning anyway. We couldn’t find a pepper grinder so Dan crushed pepper corns with the bottom of a bottle. It was a good breakfast, a fried egg and a piece of thick bacon over sauteed spinach, parmesan and toast.
This was a recipe Jamey came up with. I have a consuming love for eggs benedict but I’d never made them. I will make them again now, but since I don’t care quite as much about presentation as Jamey does, these might be the prettiest homemade eggs benedict I’ll ever be involved with the making of.
The bagel is sprouted grain and has a hand full of baby spinach on it.
I scrambled two eggs with mustard, cooking them on low heat so they became creamy.
After simmering down a cup of wine I poured in some cream (gotta use up the heavy cream before it goes bad), then sauteed a few fancy mushrooms (I really don’t know what to do with these mushrooms) in the mixture. It was too sweet to compliment the sandwich but it still tasted good. I ate the bagel halves separately.
Overall a success, but not a routing. The picture is a close up of the mushrooms because they look weird and I’m still working on food photography.

Sometime over the weekend I decided that I was tired of eating. I didn’t stop eating, I just stopped enjoying it. And the kitchen was messy which is proven to scare me away from productivity. This morning I cleaned but I didn’t cook anything spectacular, in fact I almost cooked something but decided I wanted to leave the kitchen clean instead of messy. This is bacon with some vegetables and rice and almonds.
