Food and Recipe's

I got my new Chinese cookbook in today. It's called "50 Ways to Wok your Dog".
 
Nido Dos Huevos:

1.) Chop some spinach, red onion, jalapenos, and tomatoes.
2.) Cut in thirds lengthwise two strings of colby jack cheese.
3.) Get two eggs.
4.) Spray some EVOO in a pan.
5.) Set down the spinach as a base.
6.) Spread the chopped onion/jalapenos/tomatoes in a circle around the pan..leaving room in the middle for two eggs.
7.) Lay the 6 strips of colby jack cheese in a hexagon pattern on top of the onion/jalapenos/tomatoes.
8.) Break two eggs in the middle.
9.) Cover the pan.
10.) Cook over medium heat for maybe 3-4 minutes...long enough for the cheese/egg whites to melt and fuse everything together..but leave the yolk oozable...(if that is a word).
11.) Slide it onto a plate...add some Huy Fong Sriracha sauce.
 
We went out to dinner earlier in the week, so we're eating at home tonight. We're having cottage pie. It'll be a basic version, rather than the jazzed up version I make.


And it'll still be tasty, and mostly gone by the time the night is through.
 
This is a really simple recipe but pretty damn good.

Scalloped Tomatoes

Put 1/4 stick of butter in a pan and melt it. Saute 1 small onion or 1/2 of a large onion until it's translucent. Add 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar and a shitload of Basil and mix well. Then add 2 14 ounce cans of Stewed Tomatoes along with 4 slices of torn bread. Turn heat off and mix well. Dump into a baking pan and cook at 375 for about 25 minutes.

Enjoy
 
Never tried the no salt version...
Love it. When I had to make the switch to a low sodium diet (<2 grams / day) I relied on this while I learned other ways to cook without salt. Roast chicken? Rub it down inside and out with this. Steak? No problem - hit it with this on both sides just before you rest it. Works well on roasted veggies as well.

I guess I'll have to give it a try...

So, it was a two serving version, and maybe a top off later tonight. Not bad at all....

My mom used to make cottage pie a lot - cheap, filling, and damn good when done right. Meat. corn, mash ... Kind of hard to beat.

Yeah.... Over the years, I've taken a bunch of family favorites and tweaked them to my taste preferences (one, for example, was as simple as going with shallots instead of onions, since I generally prefer shallots to onions in dips and dip-style dishes), making them my new baseline favorites. But I still keep the old styles, and still make the old versions.

If it wasn't such a salt bomb I'd be eating New England Boiled Dinner (ham version) weekly ... Ham, potatoes, carrots, onion, cabbage.
