This morning's fare: Biscuits (non-homemade, Pillsbury's frozen) with a ham slice.

Fritos have a strong corny taste that verges on hominy and they're oily.

Where's that urp emoji?

This morning's breakfast was waffles with syrup and fried eggs on top and a side of link sausage.

Quite a spread for a little guy!

I'm sure Chum did her part.

I steamed my eggs over simmering water on the stove top for 12 minutes (two different times) and the eggs were not done. How long should I have cooked them?

Does it matter if rack is on the bottom or middle?

Mine were mean (like that) as well although I've always been appreciative of that. There's very very few things I don't care to eat and will try most anything new. I feel sorry for those I know who are picky eaters when I know that they haven't ever tried many of those things they think they don't like. Some will try something once and never again not realizing that foods prepared differently by different people can taste very different.

Me either....I don't know exactly what it is but, while I like almost every other salty cracker or crisp, I've never liked Fritos.

I remember my brother going on a Boy Scout outing in the 50's when the boys had to provide their own food within a certain dollar amount. One item he took was Kraft mac 'n cheese at $0.07 cents a box. How times have changed.

Today's lunch is a chicken caesar (sp?) salad I picked up at Papa Murphy's...great salads for $5....got a pizza too for tonight. After my acupuncture treatment.

My potato salad made from the rescued garage-stored potatoes that had turned to stinky slime did not agree with me ( I'm guessing that was the issue). It disagreed with me and my body *cough* dispelled it ...probably TMI. Said potatoes seemed okay so I don't know. So I made a Shrimp Louie for dinner with the rest of my lettuce. Must not have been my day because my steamed HB eggs didn't get cooked long enough and were relegated to Mr. garbage disposal. How many things can go wrong in one day?

I was impressed with that too.

Cooks Illustrated best-rated half sheet pan is Nordic Ware's at $14.97 (price listed when tested).

I was equally impressed with the Teamfar lasagna pan that I got recently. I'd definitely look at their line if I were looking to replace my half sheet pans. Also, the W-S Gold Touch pans are unbeatable if you don't mind paying a bit more.

I managed to salvage enough of the potatoes from the garage disaster to make my potato salad. I used the iPod method to PC the potatoes with the eggs for five minutes (longer because my eggs were cold and Jumbo size). Quick released. One egg was perfect, the other cracked open during cooking. Additionally, the potatoes darkened some during cooking.

I decided this morning to prepare a potato salad to have this evening. I store my potatoes in a basket out in the garage . I dumped the potatoes out of their bag and thought I'd gag from the smell. Said garage gets pretty hot in summer and I should have stored the potatoes in the garage fridge but I didn't. Memo to self: When it's hot, keep potatoes in the fridge lest I die from the disgusting smell of rotten potato that will linger for a good long while.

The top shelf of my side by side freezer is used exclusively for a tray of big ice cubs, a bottle of gin and a bottle of vodka..

Like most of us, they got wider as they got older.

How wonderful!

Yakisoba noodles (purchased) with sttr fried chicken fillet and vegetables and a little sweet soy on top. Really good for a hot evening.

I personally like it so much they'd have a hard time getting me to leave.

I watched an episode of ATK on Saturday that featured Farmhouse Chicken Noodle Soup. It was prepared in a Fissler pressure cooker, however, I'll use my ipot. It looked SO good that'm dying to make it. Just have to wait til our temps drop about 40 degrees and get back to the 60s F. Maybe next month.
