How do you like your eggs?

[stevej37]

^^^ Sounds great! Although I don't think I could eat a whole stack that way.
My stomach isn't real big.

I'd like to meet up with you for coffee one day, Steve. Just coffee. No breakfast.

[stevej37]

^^^ It's funny, but when I was working every day...I never ate any breakfast. Up and off to work.

When retiring, I started eating breakfast. Hash browns every day..eggs...sausage whatever looked good.
Seven years into retirement and I weigh the same as before and I feel better...esp in the mornings.

Probably helps that I am only 5'9" and 150

Has your lunch and/or dinner changed from what it was before?

Do you snack other than the 3 meals?

[stevej37]

^^^ I have no urge for sugars. Never any soda's or cake, candy.
I usually eat the most in the lunch time...bad to eat a big meal at night time...no snacks.
I'm very active...metabolism is a big factor for me.

Quail eggs - sushi

Youse guys don't know how lucky you are.

Eggs over easy, hollandaise, Caesar salad, (proper) scotch eggs. All of the good stuff I guess.

Short of chalky yellow, yolks eff me up. That sucks so hard - all the cool kids saying "yolk is God's sauce".

For sauces at home, I can pasteurize them for an hour at 130F and I'm good. In the free world, it's "over, hard" at the diner.

Must be some sort of poultry protein I'm sensitive to. Even rare duck will get the GI system into lockdown until all of the offenders are shown out.

At least it's not a "swell up and die" allergy, but it sucks...

We are blest for sure. When I read about the restrictions people live with in various threads here on PPOT I am reminded of how easy I have it. I have my challenges, but fortunately food restrictions aren’t among them. I live to eat. You guys who live with limits and stick with them have my respect and admiration.

This morning's breakfast was a poached egg over corned beef hash made with brisket leftovers from Wednesday:

I had to think long and hard about all the ways I like eggs.

Scrambled - sometimes just an egg with some shredded colby cheese added once the egg proteins have set up. Sometimes with green onion and tomato and cheese.Sometimes I'll fry a little chorizo or sage sausage and add the egg and scramble them together. Sometimes with sour cream, cream cheese, or buttermilk whisked in before the protein sets up, a slice of goetta on the side, toast or English muffin and jam.

Sunny side up - fry a few of slices of bacon, enough to render out some grease. Set the bacon aside an drop in the egg and cook the top by spooning bacon grease over it. Great with a biscuit and honey.

Poached in a skillet. Just a little olive oil in the skillet, drop in the egg, add some water and slap a lid on it. Good with cottage cheese on the side with an English muffin and jam.
Also works with a patty of farm sausage, a banger, goetta, or any kind of sausage really.

Over easy - I just get lazy and flip the damn thing over and get it done. It's ugly, but as we say in Ohio, "It'll eat." Goes with cottage cheese a patty of farm sausage, a banger, goetta, or any kind of sausage and toast or English muffin with jam.

Boiled - when I don't want cereal but I'm really feeling lazy I'll smash a boiled egg with mayonais, a little salt, and lots of black pepper. It only goes with a slice of homemade bread with lots of butter.

Where are the pun threads ?

Breakfast this morning. Hard boiled egg with mayo and pepper, homemade bread with lots of butter. Glass of juice - 2/3 grapefruit juice, 1/3 water.

I eat a lot of eggs. And small batch bacon which is significantly better than regular bacon.

Over-easy on heavily buttered toast is a favorite.

Before I had it removed, wild ducks used to frequent my pool. On at least a half dozen cases they would leave unfertilized eggs on the deck. What a thrill to find a beautiful blue egg on the deck, and my word, delicious!!!!

Where's the meat? That plate is just begging for some Johnsonville Sausage Strips.

Made a Spanish tortilla for lunch today. Olive oil, butter, sliced potatoes, sliced onions, eggs, a little cheese on top. Started on the stove, finished under the broiler.

Would have thrown a little parsley at it, if I'd had any laying around.

I don't think any egg conversation could be complete without the omurice guy from Kyoto:




Japanese eggs:
BTW if you haven't tried Japanese mayonaisse, it's fantastic.

Mmmm, Spanish tortilla, yum! They are actually pretty easy to make. We sometimes add breakfast sausage to them as well. They would also be good with a little ham or bacon.

I lived in Japan twice when I was a kid, once as an 8, 9, 10 year old and again when I was 13-15. I don't remember every hearing of or seeing omurice. I first saw it on youtube a couple/few years ago. I'm super curious and would love to try it.

[rusnak]

^ I would bet that demiglaze is amazing. "Omlette rice" ( probably "omu-ret") is the first thing I ever cooked as a kid. I was 10.
