Breakfast yesterday morning.  Campari tomatoes on toasted rye with store-bought Caesar dressing. Not sure if it was the breakfast or the anxiety-producing news that came just before. Either way breakfast and I agreed to disagree.

Taking a page out of @Ann_T’s book. Lamb stew for breakfast along with a couple of slices of a purchased baguette from my freezer.

Hungarian lecho -

I had to look this one up and not one of the ones that I found looked anywhere near as interesting as yours. Thank you for posting this.

I've made these before.  I found they had a tendency to stick to the plastic wrap.  Did that happen to you, or did the butter rub take care of that.  A friend and I both had this issue and decided to spray the plastic with a little Pam next time.  I don't think I've done them this way again since!  🙄Good intentions!

garlic mushrooms in sour cream over toasted baguette slices.

 

 

Those mushrooms of @Anna N's have been taunting me since she posted them on Saturday.  

Sadly, no mushrooms in the house.  

Happily, I remembered that I'd roasted up the last round with some rosemary and garlic in preparation for something that was never made. 

Even more happily, they were in that super cold region of my fridge and aside from being almost frozen, seemed OK. 

I reheated them in a little oil and a splash of sherry, finished with a splash or two of whipping cream and piled them on toast

I think I could eat another plate of this!

No issue with sticking but I spread the butter very carefully all over.

That sounds similar to what I did.  The website I found the method at suggested 2 1/2 minutes.  At that point, I basically had a bag o' snot.  I think I finally settled on 4:45 to 5.  I'm wondering if anyone has tried the Splendid Table (ATK) method of making poached eggs sous vide.  I think I'll ask on the sous vide thread.

Curiosity got the better of me and I had to look up the ATK Method. 167°F x 12 mins then 1 minute in an ice bath. Fridge cold large eggs. Will definitely order my lab Assistant to attempt this one very soon. 😂

The recipe is from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook Bread Illustrated.  Unfortunately I cannot find the recipe online.  ATK keeps their recipes behind a paywall and are pretty diligent about making bloggers take their recipes off their foodblogs.  They want their $69.95 a year for online access!  That said, if you like to bake, I highly recommend Bread Illustrated.  I have made about 75% of the recipes in the book, and have only had one clunker (which was probably due to operator error). Here is a link to the book:

Here it is.  Sometimes ATK recipes appear on The Splendid Table website or on the PBS affiliate websites.
