Eggs again. :D This time I mixed in cheese.

Picked some peaches a few days ago.

For breakfast this morning, I had a big bowl of Wheaties with a cut up peach on top.

I'm concerned about bbro's cholesterol levels.

I'm worried BigV might have gone blind.

Breakfast tomorrow: Almond milk and a banana 'cuz that is what is on my list of allowable foods. Not very filling, but I surprisingly love almond milk and actually switched to it a couple of years ago. I still get cow's milk every once in awhile.
Oh! and I found out you can use almond milk to make pudding. I wasn't sure you could in case it was some protein or something in the milk that made the pudding thick or that it wouldn't taste gross. But it works and tastes yummy! I have found that french toast made with almond milk tastes pretty nasty though, not sure why.

I poke holes in the white stuff so it spreads out thin gets cooked all the with out the yolk having to cook any longer. Turning it is hard to describe, my mom can flip it with the pan, but I have to use a spatula, I'm not as daring. When I flip I just make sure to get the spatula mostly under the yolk (choosing the 'right' spatula is important" and then I barely lift the egg just enough to get the white part turned, then I pick up the pan and tilt it at an angle so that I can lay the yolk part down gently. Only let it cook a few more seconds, maybe poking the white part again, and then slide the egg gently onto a plate!
Maybe I should make you a video of it...

LOL - My cholesterol is just fine.....well except for my triglycerides, but that's for another thread.

I had a sandwich today.

MTP - like the pricking advice but not having anything to do with the flipping. Oh no.

Like circumcision, it's not often done over here.
Or is that pricking advice again?

When I fry eggs, I put a lid over the top of the pan. That way the steam lightly poaches the top of the eggs while the bottom is fried. The best thing is if you have a glass lid because then you can see when the eggs are just done, but the yoke is not cooked.

ZenGum 08-06-2011 07:28 PM

Exactly how I do it. AUSSIE SOLIDARITY!

Sundae 08-07-2011 04:46 AM

Never thought of that.
Hmmmm. Will consider it, thanks.

Another lovely shake for brekkers this morning.
Gag.

I'm going to take my son (younger) out for waffles. While he is eating his waffles, I will be illuminating the many ways things will have to Change Around Here IF he continues to live here. Example - my water bill went from 150.00 to 60.00 after he moved out. I'm not asking him to pay the water bill - just to be aware of the water bill. And the fact that meals don't make themselves nor do dishes play in hot soapy water at night and magically appear in the cupboard the next morning!! He's 19, he's on scholarship, he works and maintains his own car, but come ON. Throw out your pizza box once in a while, would ya? Sheesh.

So. Waffles.

You've got a solid play right there, to be followed by Waffles the musical then the film adaptation. James Franco plays the unsuspecting son of a woman who is about to rewrite the rule book.

Trilby 08-07-2011 08:06 AM

griff, that is awesome!

It's relevent, it's relatable, it's got James Franco --- I think we've got a hit!
