brobry's Profile

a little vinegar makes all the difference for me, leaves a little tang on the egg. my egg is boiled high for exactly 3 minutes (my husband likes 4 minutes) then drained on a tipped plate and lightly salted after cooking. that and a sausage, piece of ham, or leftover pork and a 1/4 cup of microwaved frozen broccoli - the perfect low carb delicious quick breakfast!

breakfast is supposed to be a hearty meal. dinner for breakfast makes perfect sense to me. i eat dinner leftovers almost every morning. only when i'm feeling under the weather do i actually eat any "breakfast" food at breakfast. eggs are the exception tho

LOL - everyone has the same crappy hood that i have! no vent, just circulates the smell around a little faster. i gave up on the vent years ago and just open the two windows for fresh air. sometimes the smoke alarms can be a hassle, hence why i'm looking into buying the kind you can mute.

this is one of my favorite veggies! i always keep a jar of kimchi around the house made of napa cabbage. this cabbage is also great in any clear broth soup, stir fry, or light pasta dish.

bring whatever you want to eat that you would be happy eating at room temperature and then just leave your lunch out. in the 3 - 4 hours that pass, your lunch will not go rancid. i eat stews, pasta dishes, meat and potatoes, etc., and it's always delicious.

i dice them up small and use as an herb for things like tacos, soups, etc. as long as you cut the fronds in small pieces, they cook up nicely or add a little anise like flavor to a dish. they also go good in green juices.

tortilla soup - yummy!!!!

tea and pasta with lime juice and parmasean saves me every time

CHEESE LOUISE! the idea of a grilled cheese is quick, easy, and delicious. you can butter the pan like i do, and then just push it (or the bread) around to coat it. i'm a grilled sandwich pro, and i never bother dirtying a butter knife. cut the butter off with the spatula, slather it around, lay on the bread, then the cheese, (and tuna, or ham, tomato or whatever else), top slice, and a lid. before flipping, another dollop of butter, flip, slather the butter around under the bread. et voila - perfect, crispy and delish.

i also never use nonstick. a properly seasoned cast iron pan is fine. any cheese can be scraped off or put on a high heat for a minute and burned off.

i thought you were joking until i read some comments! i cannot imagine my life before no knead bread. i like to eat good food, but i hate spending hours in the kitchen. no knead bread is the best of both worlds! i have a batch going all the time. i've made probably 50 loaves since i found the recipe in november 08, exerimenting with dill, rosemary, garlic, butter, cooking times, seeds, salt, or oil on top. my recipe has been changed to where i have eliminated some unnecessary steps and i time it so i cook it in the morning so it's ready and fresh for that day.

now that i can easily make fresh homemade bread so easily, i could never go back to buying it at the store. it's like someone who's always drank instant coffee and has just discovered fresh ground. you simply can't go back!
