Breakfast 2020!

[BeeZee]

Trader Joe's lentil and ancient grains soup (found in refrigerator case). Cool and rainy morning so I felt like soup was going to hit the spot. It is good, but looks like barf, so you'll not see me post a photo.

Didn't have any bacon for my baguette sandwich, so subbed pork cutlets (salted and peppered).

Looking at your baguette I was tempted to say that bacon was overrated but that would be a whopper. Still your meal does look good. I am very curious about the little fishes. Are they a pattern on a plate?

No, it's kitchen paper / paper towels.

 OOOH that looks really good.  Would much rather have the pork cutlet than bacon.

Brunch.

Jachnun, haminados eggs, grated tomatoes with mint and schug, plain schug.

Broccoli slaw with a thin coating of mayonnaise, lots of lemon zest, lemon juice, some mint.

To the unfamiliar, jachnun is a buttery (or, sadly, more often margarine-y ) laminated dough made with date molasses (though it's not much sweeter than a dinner roll). It is then placed in a sealed pot and baked overnight, so that it develops a dark brown color and distinct flavor (butterscotchy, a bit like rugbrod). Actually, the one pictured is not the most successful one, the lamination of the first few was too thick.

I am always happy to learn about something new such as the jachnun but I confess it is the broccoli that is calling out to me.

Jachnun is one of the most well loved dishes in Israel

But the broccoli is definitely tasty as well (and faster to make):

1 broccoli (300g), blanched, sliced thinly

Handful of chopped mint

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 tbsp mayo

zest of one lemon

lemon juice ,salt and pepper to taste

@shain

 

Thank you so much.

A couple of days ago - IP eggs and Dave’s Killer raisin bread:

 

This morning was a rare breakfast at home on a Saturday for the two of us.  Mr. Kim chose fried eggs (cooked too hot, too fast) and bacon:

Still ended up with runny yolks and he was satisfied.  I chose cinnamon toast with Dave’s Killer raisin bread and bacon:

I about burnt the toast, too. 🙄

About burnt is the perfect toast!

[MokaPot]

@robirdstx Your breakfast looks really good. Did you make that hash brown patty or is it something that we can buy from the store? It reminds me of the McDonald's hash brown patty (different shape, though), which I really like. TIA!

Thanks, store bought in the frozen food section.

47F here at 8am. Could not sleep so started crockpot of lamb shank at 3am with plenty of liquid. So  lamb broth for breakfast. Meat and veg on "hold warm" for rest of day. Really really good. The gross looking yellow blobs are squirts of ballpark mustard - ran out of Dijon.

Ever since I saw @liuzhou's pan fried pork, I've had a craving.

Had planned to make it last night but Moe wasn't hungry so I made it this morning.

I butterflied two small boneless pork loin chops and pounded them thin.

 

Pan fried, with enough drippings to make gravy. 

 

[rotuts]

@Ann_T 

 

although everything you make and paste looks Sooooo delicious

 

Im especially impressed w your consistently fine  Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

 

I never peeled , just ' cleaned '    I thought that improved them noticeably.

 

do you peel ?

 

if you do , try it once w just cleaning and de-divoting the bad spots

 

love to hear your opinion 

 

 

[Ann_T]

@rotuts, just I always peel for mashed potatoes.  My mom was the worst cook and her potatoes were always lumpy (as in uncooked lumps).

I hate lumps.  And have never been a fan of potato peels.  The only time I don't peel is for french fries.  

 

And I use russet potatoes for everything. Mashed, scalloped, fried, baked, etc...   And russets always mash up smooth.   

 

For a large quantity I use a ricer, but for just a few potatoes I use the old fashion masher.  Presidents Choice brand.

Bought a number of years ago.  Also works great when making refried beans.

 

 

Not sure if it shows well in this picture, or the one below,  but the masher is blade like (but not sharp) and the bottom edge is just slightly tapered and rounded. 

 

 

 

[chromedome]

I have the same one. It's actually meant as a pastry cutter (and is the best I've ever owned), but certainly works well for mashing too.
