@Ann_T, will you and Moe adopt me?

Kayb, :D

 

Another postponed dinner becomes breakfast.

Roasted a little presalted Sterling Sliver Top Sirloin roast for breakfast. Roasted at 500°F for about 30 minutes.  Took it out of the oven at 118°F and it rose to 122°F

while resting.

Moe put in three hours at the workshop early this morning and came home at 8:00 for a roast beef breakfast.

Dinner left me some asparagus and potatoes, so I cut them up and added a bit of roasted red pepper and

a little chorizo, and fried it all together. Then I threw a few eggs in there and called it hash. It's not, but

it was tasty.

Homemade wheat bread, toasted. Normandy butter.

And a frittata made with leftover spaghetti Amatriciana.

The colours of your hash are just amazing.

Smörgåsbord of leftovers for breakfast, aka "refrigerator clean up." 

The last wedge of spinach quiche, chicken on toasted sourdough made with the last of a roasted chicken thigh and some leftover potato and asparagus salad on arugula:

Anytime you need your refrigerator cleaned out, please call me.  That meal looks wonderful  When I try that, I end up with three sad peas, hal fof  a very limp tomato, something that might have started life as a sausage and that damn jar of pickles that no one likes very much.  If it is a good day, I can scrounge up a heel of bread to hide the mess in.  Trade me?  Didn't think so!

It is strange that beef dip isn't really a thing in the UK, given our national gravy obsession. Or poutine. I only got to try it a few times when an exchange student just over the border with Montreal, but I loved it :)

That hard boiled duck egg has an interesting contrast in texture.  Did you do something to accentuate the differences between the yolk and the white?  It looks as though the white was soft enough to carve smoothly but the yolk was set enough to be craggy and jagged.

 

I'm admiring your toast, by the way.  :smile: I do love a good olive bread.

I boiled the egg by putting it in cold water, bringing it to the boil. After one minute I removed the pan from the heat and let the egg sit in the water about 10 to 15 minutes. As the water cools the egg continues to cook.

 

The olive bread is nearly finished. Time to make another loaf, soon.

Wait wait wait, is that a little hand holding your egg???  That is so cool!

 I was trying to figure that one out and I think you're right! It is cool.

I was inspired by the smoked salmon cream cheese English muffin @Anna N had for breakfast yesterday.  

IMG_2753.jpg

 

Having neither salmon nor English muffins, I mixed up a smoked trout spread with cream cheese, crème fraîche, capers, shallot, red bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice and smoked trout.  Sliced and toasted a rosemary roll and roasted some asparagus.  

I would never try to roast such skinny asparagus in the oven but 10 min of steam-bake in the Cuisi oven did them up just fine.

Ah! My little hand things! Thereby hangs a tale.

I bought these two a while back. I was in a local kitchen supply place - not a very good one - looking for something else when I saw these. They amused me, so I bought them.

 

I had no idea what they were intended for. Conversations with Chinese friends on Chinese social media sites came up with as many answers as friends. Everyone had a different idea - some plausible; most not.

 

I remain 90% convinced that they are used in tea ceremonies to hold tea strainers. I'm 99% sure they are tea related. The section where I found them is very tea related - although they have no strainers that size.

Anyway, I was boiling my egg this morning and realised I don't seem to have unpacked any eggcups (it's only eleven months since I moved home) so...

 

Glad you enjoyed them!

One of the neatest things I've seen in a while.  I like stuff like this.  I would have (very wrongly) guessed they were chopstick holders lol.   Thank you for telling us about them!

Yes, chopstick rests was one of the many answers and I have used them as such. Versatile things are hands!

Well, shipping is included and Shanghai is ~7,250 miles from my doorstep; so the price isn't a big surprise. :)

I don't like tea but that would make me tempted to drink it lol.

Or eat a lot of boiled eggs.

They ARE cute. If I weren't on a mission to get rid of "stuff"....
