I assume. Never been. But it sure sounds nice, doesn't it?
Monday's dinner: Scrambled Eggs with Chicken, Ham and Potatoes, from Food & Wine.
Two versions; one made with Serrano ham and roasted chicken for Matt, and another using Lightlife Veggie Ham and Veat Chicken breast for me.
slices of onion, cooked till brown. Add strips of red pepper, cooked till softened. To this add the meats (or faux meats), till warmed. Then add an egg/milk/kosher salt/pepper/parsley (which we didn't have) mix; cooking and gently stirring until the eggs are just set. Toss in some roasted potatoes, cook till eggs are as you like them. Serve with hot sauce.
Good stuff. Matt said it seemed like true comfort food. And very filling. I liked it, but honestly? I would skip the red peppers if I made it again. They just didn't seem to do anything for the dish. Not much flavor, and the sudden change in texture...well, it wasn't for me.
But a good, and fairly quickly prepared, meal. Matt has lots and lots of left-overs.
I hope to have the EoMEoTE round-up posted Wednesday; I'm working on it right now...
Also, Blog Party, The Big Game Night edition, is coming up soon! Get those hearty, bite-sized dishes and 'manly' drinks ready...it's looking to be a good one.
And if anyone out there has pull with Ronald at IMBB?, could you put in a good word for the event? I've twice written to him, to get Blog Party on the events list...but still nothing. Thanks!
- The Best $17.60 He Ever Spent
Even though Matt is a carnivore, he doesn't actually consume a lot of meat. The majority of the animal-based foods he eats are chicken. Some sausage here and there, maybe, and occasionally, smoked salmon. It's something that just happened; neither...
- Parmesan Chicken With Balsamic Butter Sauce
A surprisingly simple dinner dish: Parmesan Chicken with Balsamic Butter Sauce. We never buy whole chickens, so as always, we cut up chicken (and Veat) breasts; reducing the baking time. Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, and oregano for the chicken's...

Yes, I've been away. I was dealing with some Blogger problems; I couldn't even access this blog. Kind of hard to post when faced with a 'you don't have permission to view this address' message, eh? And then...well, I made Creole...

I'd wanted to do a big breakfast for Christmas day. That just didn't happen. I did manage to pull something together for New Year's, though. One of my favorite things, Breakfast Pocket Sandwiches. Onions and bulk pork (or veggie version)...
