Thanks!  I saw him mention emergency pizza crust the other day but I didn’t try to locate the source info.  The bowl swimming in a sink full of warm water sounds a bit scary but I will keep it in mind!  


Any warm place will do … I am just the practical type 😜

Scrambled eggs with ham and swiss, smothered with green chile sauce.  More shredded swiss on top of sauce.

 

Green chile sauce was:

2 cups frozen green chile

2 cups water

2 tbsp Knorr Pollo con tomate bouillon

1 tbsp garlic powder

1/4 cup dehydrated onions

1/4 cup celery powder

1/4 cup dehydrated carrot shreds

 

3 qt Instant Pot on 0 minutes, natural release.  2 tbsp rendered pork fat mixed with 2 tbsp potato starch to thicken.

 

4 eggs with about 2 tbsp of heavy cream were blended, but then I blended a bit of the above green chile sauce into the eggs too.  Scrambled with swiss shreds mixed in.

The ham was the Costco sliced Danish ham, diced.  Cheap and good and I think it loves to mixed with eggs.

 

Everybody happy with breakfast.

It's raining here and this tangy breakfast hit the spot.

I also had a tangy breakfast today.  Broccolini with peanut gochujang dressing from the second Ottolenghi Test Kitchen book, Extra Good Things.

The book recipe includes the broccolini, which gets steamed, then tossed with lime juice and olive oil, peanuts roasted with a coating of brown sugar, soy sauce and olive oil and the dressing made with peanut butter, gochujang, lime juice, fresh ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chives and makrut lime leaves which I did not have. I steamed a few lonely shrimp from the freezer along with the broccolini and tossed some noodles with thinned down sauce so I could call it a meal.

On Saturday, Jessica and I went down to Petersburg (about an hour south of us) to a bakery she’d heard about.  It was called Buttery Baking House and it was definitely worth the drive.  Capicola and Brie croissant:

A giant ginger cooky (spicy with ginger and super chewy):

This morning:

Grilled ham, cheese, and egg sandwich.  My favorite preparation of a breakfast sandwich.  Much better than just putting the ingredients on toast.

Winter Squash Risotto with Chewy Rice Cakes and Raw Brussels Sprouts Muchim, both from Korean American

890F8699-3BA0-4390-97CB-05A18025C6F3_1_201_a.thumb.jpeg.aca46cf62e6586aac3d3558b1a755e9c.jpeg
I thought the risotto tasted fine but if I'm in the mood for risotto, it's because I want something smooth and silky or I want to make arancini so this strikes out on both counts.  For me, the chewy rice cakes are an odd addition to risotto and you can't really make arancini when with those rice cakes in there.  Glad I tried it.  No need to do it again!
Since the Brussels Sprouts Muchim is a variation on a fruit muchim recipe,  I added some chopped apple after I took the photo and I liked it better that way.   Either way, it's a nice partner for the soft, rich and relatively bland risotto and added welcome crunch, acidity and heat.

A few breakfasts: 

I wanted fishcakes, beans and eggs unfortunately I didn't have any leftover fish so I took the lazy man's route.

Fish sticks, beans, eggs with chili and herbs, toast with apricot jam and blueberries.

Kind of an embarrassing breakfast but I'd intended to make these Crispy Yangnyeom Chickpeas with Caramelized Honey from Korean American for a cocktail snack last night.  Didn't get around to it so I thought I'd get them made and set aside for later but I kept nibbling away until they were gone.

The julienned scallions perked up in ice water are perfect with this and I ended up making more to finish up.

I can see that as a "just one more handful - oops all gone". Question - I'dbe tempted to use a different jam as I dislike strawberry ones. Do you think a switch to apricot would lose something?

Now serve that over naan with a runny egg on top and Bob's your uncle.

No, I think you could use anything you like. Maybe avoid (or purée) anything that has big chunks of fruit that won’t break down in a few minutes of cooking. I was very tempted to go with that ginger preserve from Trader Joe’s and will likely try that next.

Soft boiled eggs (actually steamed) with toast for dipping.

I LOVE the way this is served!
My grandkids love to have Dipper Eggs with Soldiers, but I would prefer serving this way. Thanks for sharing - quite elegant breakfast!

I managed to mess up my eggs and my toast this morning! But when all was said and done they still tasted just fine.

Loaded Western or Denver sandwich (bacon, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, shredded Tex-Mex cheese ) on toasted Carbnaut bread with spicy ketsup = brunch

Looks great. Always a (light-hearted) debate between my Ontario born and raised husband and I as to the name. I have always called it a Denver sandwich and he has always called it a Western sandwich. Whatever you call it, it's a great breakfast. Another difference is that he likes his with ketchup, I have always had mine with HP.

After seeing @Dejah's sandwich, I was going to make a similar egg sandwich.  Maybe tomorrow.  For today, I was lazy and had the same thing I've had the last few days, beans on toast!

Rancho Gordo Mantequilla beans tossed with Vivian's Red Weapons on toasted sourdough. Pecorino Romano to nibble along with.

I am not sure to whom I owe the inspiration for poached eggs on hash brown patties. It might have been @Kim Shookor perhaps @blue_dolphin.
