Half of a leftover (from dinner) red-skinned sweet potato, reheated in office micro, little swipe of butter and dash of cinnamon. Nice on a rainy day.

Along with his other produce, a sweet gentleman used to sell baked sweet potatoes, kept hot in an insulated chest, at our Civic Center Farmer's Market, until one day when he didn't.   He said that the health department had stopped his doing that because he had neither a commercial kitchen nor permit to sell prepared food.   Stupid, stupid, stupid!     These morsels were a wonderful winter breakfast treat.    Stupid....

Aha!  Never thought of adding blue cheese to egg salad.    'Open a new window; open a new door..."   

 

My thought exactly. And I have some decent blue in the fridge....

 

Don't ask. Eat it.

Fatoot samneh but made with sordough bread and a duck egg. Still good but better with pita.  Must replenish.9BAF4853-432C-400F-9F05-E22B4F9C3BC0.thumb.jpeg.7cdee40d37bbd8ae4ba68eb3a60a74df.jpeg

Bought some new (to me) English muffins at Wegman’s.  They are nice and tall – almost 2 inches thick:

They were certainly craggy – I had great hopes that they would take the place of the Wolfermans that I used to be able to get at our now defunct local grocery store, Ukrops:

But they didn’t taste very interesting – just kind of stodgy and bready.  Guess I’ll leave the Wolferman’s gift card on my wishlist. 

 

The above popped up when I went to post today's breakfast, so I'm guessing I never posted it anywhere.  I can't find that I did.  Sigh.  

 

Today was more toasted stuff with stuff:

Strawberry jam on wheat and butter on sourdough.

All this talk of blue cheese in egg salad reminded me where I first learned of the combination, the EGG SALAD SANDWICH PERFECTA MUNDO over on Luna Cafe.  I followed that recipe except that I forgot the onion.  

Sounds so good. I have a sneaking suspicion I might have attempted this before. Regardless, I shall be attempting it again! Thanks.

I see that I mentioned it at least once before in a "Favorite Sandwiches" thread but it's been a while!  I don't usually put greens on an egg salad sandwich but using arugula on this one is really good!

Kinda shepards pie.  Roasted duck covered by left over potato salad (don’t knock it till you try it) heated in CSO 350 steam bake for 25 minutes.  Egg on top becaue it is breakfast.

Leftover sirloin baseball steak from lunch at The Keg yesterday. Served on rye toast and seasoned only with a little salt.

The last of the lunch leftovers from The Keg. Prime rib on toasted rye bread which was slathered with horseradish mayo. A little horseradish mayo on top also.

More fatoot samneh made in the A4 box. I wouldn’t normally post this since we’ve seen it enough times now but today I made it with a different pita. This one was labelled as Lebanese style and was much less doughy than the ones I have been using. And I used commercial ghee instead of my homemade.
 

The dish made this way was also good but given my choice I prefer the thicker bread and the flavour of the homemade ghee. Yeah, I know. Not very scientific. Never change more than one variable at a time. But I was making breakfast not conducting an experiment. 
 

I forgot to add that after I tasted it I decided to add even more variables and sprinkled it with Trader Joe’s umami powder!

Recipe or process?    These look as if they were cut out rather than use of crumpet rings.    Fabulous in any event...

 

The recipe is from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook Bread Illustrated.  Unfortunately I cannot find the correct version of the recipe online without a paywall.  ATK is rather persnickety about protecting their recipes.  I've been baking a lot from this book and have generally had good success.

The plan: duck egg perfectly scrambled with some aged Trader Joe’s raw cow’s milk blue cheese on toasted rye bread. (The cheese was part of a gift of some lovely cheeses from TJ’s). 
 

The final product: a sort of omelet frantically forked apart so blue cheese crumbles could be intermingled. 
 

The culprit: inattention caused by the  urgent need to Google Jacques Torres’ chocolate chip cookie recipe.  You know who you are @Kim Shook

In the end it was still quite delicious and I finished up the last of the Sugar Bomb tomatoes which were just starting to get wrinkly. 
 

P.S.  had absolutely no intention of making chocolate chip cookies today or even in the near future.
