[Domestic Goddess]

[Daniel]

Got some chorizo the other day at http://www.lospaisanosmeatmarket.com/sausage.html in brooklyn. Its a wonderful butcher shop that makes a lot of there own sausages and chorizos. Cooked the chorizo with some local potatoes from up here in Hudson NY.. I had boiled and let cooled. With the water still boiling from the potatoes, I cooked these electic orange unpasturized eggs from a roadside stand. Just put them in the pan and let them steam till done. Added some wild mushrooms that I cooked in butter.. On the side had toasted Sullivan St Bread and some fresh strawberry jam.

Ready for a nap..

Wow! Some amazing looking breakfasts lately! This thread is heating up!

Percyn – your breakfast for dinner is just what I like for dinner and while the egg may be egg porn, that steak is protein porn – gorgeous!

Marcia – I love them, too! And your scrambled eggs are just perfect. I love properly cooked (i.e. – still moist) scrambled eggs!

Tupac – OMG – what a great picture! I just finished breakfast and if that was in front of me right now, I’d be digging in.

Doddie - ??? how did you get your lovely omlette so perfectly square ?

Daniel – chorizo, eggs and potatoes! Sounds wonderful and perfect!

Breakfast this morning was baked eggs w/ ham, chives and cheese, Burnt Neuske’s pepper bacon (not really, it just always looks that way in pictures ), Campari tomatoes and store bought croissants:

Wow..Gorgeous Kim.

I love the weekend - breakfast is probably my favorite meal and I get to have two !

This morning was leftovers - I had some really good, but stale bread from Friday night's dinner and a couple of less-than-crisp apples. I did cinnamon French toast with maple fried apples and some of the Neuske's pepper bacon on the side:

Matt Romero of Romero Farms here in NM feeds red chile to his free-ranging chickens to achieve these amazingly vibrant spicy yolks:

Best eggs ever.

[Jon Savage]

Miso Soup and rice noodles hopped up with a little siracha and fish sauce (I have a miso paste that includes dashi = tasty and quick).

So good I had a second bowl only without the noodles and with thinly sliced onion.

Oh my! So the chile flavor and spiciness actually comes through in the yolk? Gotta mention this to some chicken keeping friends.

My description of them in my blog went as follows:

"The yolks are rich and buttery, with an earthy, haunting depth and mellow sweetness reminiscent of mild red chile."

I guess that's a yes.

Amish sage sausage with yam hash browns and a poached egg.

Oh my god! Those are amazing. I'm imagining the chickens feeling a little bit like I do when I eat szechuan hot pot for dinner, but for eggs that tasty....

[percyn]

Eldereno, welcome to the thread.

Boy oh boy...I was away for a few days and look at all these wonderful breakfasts !!

Now I gotta figure out how to get those chile fed chicken eggs here

[Verjuice]

Two days ago, huevos motuleños at Pasqual's in Santa Fe. I finally got around to trying them, but they didn't do much for me. I ended up eating most of my friend's barbacoa of beef cheeks and about seven cannelés:

Matt Romero's amazing eggs, on the other hand, hit the spot every time. In case anyone's interested, Matt is President of the Santa Fe Farmers' Market Institute and used to be Mark Miller's sous chef at Coyote Cafe back in its heyday. His chickens love the red chile he feeds them, and it's a great way for him to recycle whatever he can't sell or turn into ristras. Percyn, if you know anyone who keeps chickens, I'll send you some of what Matt is feeding his! I cannot adequately describe how extraordinary these eggs are. The yolks are like a delicious spicy hollandaise that sauces the rest of the eggs!

Today, a friend made orange-scented brioche French toast and an egg, cheese and chile casserole from the red chile eggs:

I wonder how those red chile eggs would influence a brownies or chocolate cake recipe. (Chocolate cake can be eaten for breakfast, too!)

[Pille]

A slice of rye bread with linseeds + butter + cheese; a fermented milk and strawberry cocktail with agave syrup; a milky coffee.

[percyn]

For breakfast today we made

Vietnamese Coffee

and Scrambled Eggs w/Sichuan Cold Chicken

[prasantrin]

Teeny tiny cell phone picture (left my camera at work) of today's breakfast--six spring rolls filled with ground pork (not much too them except garlic, pepper, and fish sauce), and one filled with cheese. Fried cheese is good!

Eaten with sweet chili sauce (cock brand, I think).

That is so awesome looking.

[C. sapidus]

percyn, we have that same glass (but you put yours to better use).

Creamy scrambled eggs with chives and Thai chile, on toast.

[purplewiz]

That chive blossom is a beautiful thing to behold. It's still about two weeks too early for the flowers here...I have buds on the plants but no flowers yet

[C. sapidus]

Belated thanks, Marcia. You are a few days closer to chive blossoms by now.

As usual, cleaning out the fridge means fried rice – this time with apple eggplants, an egg, a sprouting onion, garlic, chile, shrimp sauce, fish sauce, nahm prik pao, and probably a few other things that I have forgotten. Held me over until dinner and tasted pretty respectable, considering that I was in a hurry and slammed everything into a screaming-hot wok.

I wants me some chile-fed eggs. Yum.
