re caps or hats indoors, I hear your angst, Captain.   But I am so old that I realize that my standards and expectations are quaint.   What is, is.   And I may as well enjoy it.

That's a good story. I usually order soft scrambled eggs if I'm not sure about things. It's behind a paywall now, but there's an old article from The New Yorker called "The Egg Men" (Burkhard Bilger) in praise of egg cooks.

Its off topic but its sort of relevant

Click on the link. When it comes up with the paywall message, go to the address bar in your browser and insert a "." (full stop ) after the .com ( report.nyt.com./sssss.ssss.xxx/.xxxx.....) leave everything in place.

Do a reload page (usually the circle thing with the arrow) and usually no paywall.

Be kind first.

Be nice.

I'm just surprised there was rye toast available.

I would think so, too.  Except just about everywhere I've ever ordered breakfast (and this is mostly in the American south) has had rye bread available.  Including the little cafe in my grandparents little town in NC.  I wouldn't think enough people ordered it to make it worth their while.  I know they don't keep it in the freezer, because when I've ordered a sandwich, the bread is soft and fresh tasting.

My rye experience as well. The most old school diner like my local offers it  up as routine. https://www.restaurantji.com/ca/lomita/hot-n-tot-/

That was nice the cook went to special effort to make poached eggs. I'm just surprised there was rye toast available.

Both poached eggs and rye as a bread option were on the menu.   Probably, or obviously, not frequent orders but not just an off-menu whim on my part.   Realize also that in normal times tourists and their tastes bring  major chunk of change to these small towns and businesses.

I made these for Mr. Kim’s dad and stepmom.  They are something called “Breakfast Platter Muffins”.  It’s a recipe given to me by @Sunny Simmons Steincamp who used to post here years ago.  Eggs, cheese, sausage, onions, S&P.  That’s it.  You can dress them up with vegetables, different meats, etc.  They are very good and reheat well.  To be honest, they are excellent on top of a large biscuit and smothered in sausage gravy😊:

My breakfast today:

IMG_2497.thumb.jpg.c304220c9c07c14f1d308f3ddf0648ac.jpg

Sausage, and fried egg on toast (one of my favorite ways to have any kind of egg).  I must have been truly hungry because I ate every bite!

I am always on the lookout for things that can be fed to our unruly and wildly irregular once-a-year firewood party. These look like they might be a good item. Is this a recipe you can share? (If not, I'll understand. Been there, done that, kept the secrets.)

Finally got around to trying Wylie Dufresne’s Scrambled Egg Sandwich that I mentioned upthread and @liamsaunt shared here

IMG_2609.thumb.jpeg.47f79b12a285aedc24500ed505ccdee0.jpeg

 

IMG_2610.thumb.jpeg.090743168d241fb0967be0e201fd0162.jpeg

 

As @liamsaunt noted, it is indeed very rich and I also only ate half though I'm considering going back for another bite 🙃

It held together much better than expected - I was sure the eggs would squish out all over the place but they did not. 

I nibbled some pickled onions on the side but I think it could benefit from a smear of something spicy on the bread. Maybe I'll saved the other half for lunch and dip it in tomato chutney.

I like that sort of breakfast

 

I cook my rice now  ( Basmati Daawat ) in the iPot

 

Pot-in-a-Pot pressure-steam

 

then add various mix-ins  for Not-Fired-Rice

 

I always add  scrambled eggs and always make enough for at least 1 qt in the refrigerator

 

add-ins vary 

 

but the key is the extra qt for the next day :

 

makes an excellent breakfast !

 

room temp in the cooler months

 

cold in the summer.

This recipe is almost identical to the one I use, but yours look so much nicer.  Could it be the difference in pans (I just use a standard metal pan)?

Thank you. I don’t know. I have only ever made mine in the silicon pan.

I lightly sautéed the jalapeños in the chorizo grease and then added them to the cooling meat.
