What is the remaining 30% ?

 

What I thought.

Water, salt and yeast (allergens and and preservatives) according to the ingredient list. Which doesn't quite add up, to my mind.

Breakfast yesterday before a long walk in the woods.

Egg and chilis, cheese, slow roasted onion and arugula wrap with blueberries and orange.

It's been snowing heavily since dawn so a comfort breakfast (I like soup for breakfast). I'm hoping for enough snow to break out the snowshoes.

Pot barley, black bean, collard vegetable soup with toasted cheese on ciabatta.

Spam, Kimchi and Cabbage Stir-Fry from Korean American with a fried egg on top. I bought a can of Spam a while back with the intention of making musubi.  Today was the day to open it!

Over in the egg prices topic, @Anna N noted that we should all be getting fresh eggs these days and this is clearly the case here.  Our local farmers market was cancelled last week due to the deluge so I picked up some eggs at Trader Joe's to get me through.  I usually only see this sort of tight white with the farmers market eggs. There was only the tiniest fringe of loose white that curled under on the right side.

It was quite good. I sliced the Spam pretty thin so it crisped up nicely. This would work fine with bacon or ham as well.  I also added a bit of water to the pan at the end to incorporate the browned bits and cook the cabbage down a little more.

Marmite® on Toast

I like Marmite® on toast occasionally, but it has to be just a scraping. Sometimes I will mix it with butter before spreading it.

Maple-candied spam from Korean American with egg nog French toast made with the milk bread with maple syrup from the same book.  Probably the last persimmon of the season on the side.

The spam was to be sliced @ 1/4", baked on a tray @400°F until lightly browned can crispy, then drizzled with a mix of maple syrup and garlic powder before going back into the oven for a while. 

I think my slices were on the thin side.  They were shatteringly crisp!

OK. You know that I love almost everything that you make so I can say this with impunity I hope.

I am in a sugar coma just reading this.

As I said in the 2023 lunch thread, I’m a goober – I posted my update at the end of the 2022 thread instead of here. 

 

@liuzhou – the buns are a favorite in our house, but very few places do really excellent ones.  We are lucky enough to have Peter Chang here in my town and he used to have a noodle and dumpling shop right next to his restaurant, but he closed it.  I’ve been missing those buns ever since and recently discovered that he’s serving them AND soup dumplings at his restaurant now.  I have informed Mr. Kim that we need to visit SOON!

 

@Duvel – those eggs are perfectly perfect! 

 

@Ann_T – I hope that Huey continues to improve and that the charges don’t climb too much higher.  Vet bills, especially emergency ones, can be so high!

 

All of those lovely, gooey yolks are making me wish that I had fried or poached my eggs this morning!

Those appear to be homemade pickled jalapeños?

No, they are the pickled, fermented jalapeño slices from Trader Joe's.  Made in Turkey of all places.  I haven't seen them in a while and suspect they may have been discontinued so I guess if I want more, they will be homemade!

The view after our latest snow Too bad it'll be gone by Sunday. Turned out to be a perfect day for a long hike on snowshoes.

Breakfast was , in a throwback to university days, chili, quesadillas and oranges and blueberries. Back then it would have been cold chili.

I had some home cured back bacon so played around with sandwich combinations:

No. 1: Eggs with herbs and chilis, back bacon and arugula on ciabatta.

No. 2: Egg with chili, back bacon, aged cheddar, tomato and arugula on ww bread.

No. 1 won for the bread and No. 2 for the filling composition.

Kimchi-braised short rib cheese toastie

I was thinking the leftovers from the kimchi-braised short ribs with pasta that I posted over on the dinner thread might be an excellent pizza topping but with no dough handy, I decided to pilot the idea as a toastie and it passed the test.  Expect to see that pizza (or perhaps a focaccia?)  in the future!

Did you happen to see @Duvel’s recipe and technique for an emergency pizza crust?

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!
