2nd iced coffee of the morning...

That sounds really good.  I'm going to have one when I'm done in the garden.

Cold Brew, I hope.

I started making cold brew with Starbucks packs last summer and I'm totally hooked.  I just add a tiny amount of French Vanilla syrup and then the cold milk.  So good.

I had a couple of bananas that were overripe ~ so I made a loaf of Banana Nut Bread (with cashews and macadamia nuts) ~ served warm with butter

Don't know about Shelby but I have been cold brewing my decaf for the last couple of years...course I'm an old hippie and still make sun tea.

Us too!

[lindag]

I still make my iced tea the old-fashioned way.  I think I gave away my sun tea container when I lived in Portland....never  enough sun!

Made a little extra effort this morning as last night the partner made dinner for our sort of anniversary. 

 

Pre-baked a hash brown crust (with butter and cheese) in my 8” cast iron, then lined it with a layer of prosciutto. To that I added mixed mushrooms sautéed with thyme, a basic quiche custard (5 eggs and a glug of heavy cream), and a bit more cheese. Garnished with some strips of the Fresno chilies (which I bought to try to clone Sriracha Panich).

 

Came out very well, if I may say so myself. I think it was 20min @ 400F for the crust, and 20min @ 350F for the custard, both w/fan in the BSO.

 

Leftovers should make a nice “light” lunch with a salad.

Interesting that your 8" cast iron skillet with handle fit into the CCSO.

This was in the Breville (BSO) -- my CSO is on the truck for delivery as we speak!

 

That said, I just checked it against one of these TeamFar pans that @JoNorvelleWalker recommended for the CSO, and it fits entirely inside that pan. So it should fit in the CSO.

 

Sadly it's an oldie -- unmarked WagnerWare, I think, that my dad bought in college. So hard to source.

 So does mine.

Breakfast, second sitting.    (First was dry cereal and coffee around 5:30.) 

Easy over egg on fried spaghetti.

[Okanagancook]

My pasta loving DH would love that... 😃

[Margaret Pilgrim]

 

In our house, we consider leftover potatoes or any kind of sauced or unsauced pasta "resources".   

[liuzhou]

Stornoway black pudding* with poached duck egg.

 

 

 

* Possibly the only such specimen in China. Hand smuggled from Scotland by yours truly.

 

[lindag]

Breakfast today will be 1/2 an onion bagel, toasted and buttered alongside some watermelon cubes (pre-cut at the grocery store) with a bit of salt, of course..

I never expected to see this in your feed.  LOL

Breakfast this morning was ditto:

I really need to make pancakes more often.  They reheat so well.

[rotuts]

Ill call this a late breakfast , during the heat wave

 

TJ's made it , but I used to and the Rx is included 

 

I add this here as some might not follow the TJ's thread

 

if there isn't a Tj's near them :

 

 

I also got a tub of this :

 

 

Chicken Curry Salad

its delightful !

 

this is a different container

 

 

chunks of chicken , tender and moist  some raisins , grated carrot for crunch  green onion,  cashews

 

touch of honey   .   delightful !

 

I make something similar , but never added a touch of honey nor gratred carrot.

 

Ill try to remember those additions

 

in a lettuce wrap on a hot day   :  nice indeed

 

and make-your-own :

So, it was finally disclosed that it was @suzilightning who sent me the Spam:

It smells funny.  Perhaps sniffing was not a good idea:

 

I fried it crisp:

Um... It WAS nice and crispy on the outside. And the flavor was fine. But the texture inside was NOT good. It was mushy. It was seriously like a slice of porky mush in a crispy sleeve. Not for me.

 

Served with an egg, some good Italian multigrain toast, and the perennially disappointing apricot.  It looked so lovely.  And it had a decent fragrance.  But, as always, it was dry and tasteless.  I don't think I've had a good apricot in at least 50 years.  ☹️

 

[Shelby]

Maybe you'd like Spam more if you diced it?  Get more crispy bits that way.

[rotuts]

@Kim Shook

 

id try the canned.

@caroled just suggested that.  I might try that since I was ok with the taste.  But, you know, bacon actually exists.  Do I really need to work that hard to eat something that I'm "ok with the taste" about? LOL

[rotuts]

@Kim Shook

 

your points are well taken.

 

SPAM is  more like ham.  Bacon is more like bacon.

 

Ive often been puzzled that the two are so different.

 

as far as I can tell , they come from the same animal.

 

I doubt their are BaconPigs and HamPigs.

BaconPigs, HamPigs, and LongPigs.
