Awesome post. I love all of these ingredients and am so anxious to try it. I am very fond of a quiche served at Sweet Lorraine's in Berkley Michigan. Instead of using pastry they use hash browns as a crust. I really prefer extra crispy hash browns, so I'll try that with you're suggested recipe.

@Ariane...LOL @Engineergirl...Iv nevr tryed nec and altra, were cin I bye it? o_0 My five are: eggs, cheese, onions, evaporated milk and pasta. If I could add another five they would include: jars of pasta sauce, kidney beans, frozen ground beef, crackers and peanut butter. (can we live w/o peanut butter???). If I could add another 5...I'd be filling a whole pantry and might be banned from further posts, so I won't. Darn, I'm getting awfully hungry. Sorry, I lied, I have to add butter to my staples.

I've never heard of this but it sounds wonderful. I love lamb. Will certainly try this. Cooking with Fire: DIY Doner Kebab Guardian UK Flag this comment	2/13/12 7:19 PM
@claudette49. Wonderful idea. I've used a melon scooper before to make the ice cream balls and rolled them in toasted coconut before placing them on a tray like you do before freezing. When ready to serve, I place several in each glass and then slightly drizzled with melted chocolate. I love the idea of flaming them. But using such small balls probably wouldn't work as well. It's kind of a go between, using small balls with the toasted coconut and sauce, or larger scoops that when flamed, will warm the coconut a bit and not melt the ice cream too much. Of course the visual presentation of flaming them sounds awesome and very romantic. How To Cook a Steak: 15 Recipes for a Weeknight Valentine's Meal Recipe Roundup Flag this comment	2/13/12 7:09 PM
@Judiau. Thank you, thank you! I usually like to cook my veggies to a bit on a firm side. I hate overcooked and lifeless vegs. You have totally answered my question. My beets are not cooked long enough!!! I now remember that when I cooked them longer while roasting them it was a breeze to slide the skins off. If microwaving, they'll have to cook a bit longer. I also like the tips on rubbing them with paper towels. Makes a lot of sense. What's the Best Way to Peel Beets? Ingredient Questions Flag this comment	2/10/12 7:28 PM
I love a poached egg served on top of very crispy hash browns mixed with a little bit of caramelized onions. I often make a batch of hash browns and freeze in individual containers. Also make a lot of caramelized onions and freeze them in ice cube trays, then transfer the cubes to a zip lock. Makes for a very quick and satisfying dinner when time is short.

@Margaret - I prefer baking them on the rack but the salt on the potato can bake onto the rack and also drip to the bottom of your oven, making a bit of more cleanup later. How to Bake a Potato in the Oven Flag this comment	2/7/12 8:15 PM
A wonderful improvement! I painted my tired old dark cabinets a few years ago. Used white oil based paint because I thought it would be a harder finish and the color would hold up well. They came out very nice but yellowed very quickly. Is it better to use latex? Wes & Kayla's Repainted Rental Kitchen Kitchen Spotlight Flag this comment	2/7/12 8:08 PM
Wonderful post. Braided Spaghetti Bread? What a great idea. The frittata sounds fabulous. I came up with a recipe inspired by the Frittata Al Forno served at Brio's Tuscan Grill. It's made with angel hair pasta, cream, eggs, Parmesan and Fontina cheese, bacon, onion, Alfredo sauce and spinach. Sometimes I'll add artichoke hearts. It's to die for. After reading this, I'm inspired to try other frittata recipes with spaghetti. 15 Fresh (and Unexpected!) Ways to Serve Up Spaghetti Flag this comment	2/7/12 7:31 PM
To the posters that had the egg explode: If it exploded and you ended up with egg all over the inside of your microwave, maybe you didn't cover the cup before turning on the power? To the posters that prick the egg before microwaving: Doesn't the egg yolk run into the whites while cooking? Just wondering. I haven't tried this technique yet but will soon.
