Food Thread: Look! Ova There! It's Breakfast!

I have been on a scrambled egg kick for the last several weeks, and a better combination of tasty and easy would be hard to come by. Three eggs, whipped hard for about 15 seconds, then into a non-stick pan on low heat with tons of butter that has been allowed to release most of its water (you'll know when it stops bubbling madly). stir in random directions with a spatula for about 15 seconds until it looks like it is thickening, then lots of grated cheese (I prefer a sharp cheddar) and continue to stir until the eggs solidify and the cheese is incorporated into the eggs. Salt, pepper And hot sauce if I am feeling playful, and it's done!

I usually play with the heat a bit if it is taking too long, but the trick I think is to avoid high heat. That gentle cooking keeps the eggs tender and creamy, which is just how I like them. I am not a big fan of large curds (is that the correct word?).

There is something immensely satisfying about a perfectly cooked egg...or three in my case. Yeah, I like to eat, and the wonderful texture and cheesiness and creaminess of gently scrambled eggs is hard to beat for an early-morning pick-me-up while the coffee is filtering. If I am feeling really peckish I will cook some bacon, but that requires planning and patience, something that is in short supply during most mornings.

No...no quotations, because the translation from the original Chinese is terrible. It is so obviously a bought-and-paid-for PR firm pimping for the communist government of China. But it illustrates the game plan of the commies and shows how ridiculously behind the times we are. They are purchasing access to markets and technology with this sort of trade group or NGO. It makes sense, because they have a billion and a half people to feed, and they aren't great at doing it in spite of abundant land and water.

There is nothing off limits. For the Chinese, everything is part of the battle space...even food.

From commenter "Bill," who is clearly proud of his granddaughter's baking prowess!

She came back from France and decided to learn to cook. That is a peach galette made from their O'Henry peaches.

The French do a good job with this kind of dessert, probably because it's hard to screw up when you use a ton of butter in the crust. And that is by no means a criticism. I think that buttery crusts go marvelously with fruit; particularly tart fruit.

What's the American equivalent called?

Well this is interesting!

I had a lucky accident preparing tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. It usually takes all day to reduce to the desired thickness, and the walls are dripping wet. I froze excess tomatoes last year. When I thawed them, a lot of water separated from them. I poured it off, blenderized them and had sauce ready after an hour of cooking. Tasted much more like fresh tomatoes than sauce that simmered all day

38 I bake a bunch of thick cut bacon on broiler pans. Eat the outside crispy pieces that day. The rest goes in the fridge and I have my own pre-cooked bacon. Plus the large batches give lots of bacon fat to save for other cooking.

54 I've been test-driving some extra anejo tequilas lately as possible candidates for fall and winter after-dinner drinking.

And I learned something disappointing while doing research:
Tequilas as a class (like rums) have a problem with companies using additives to jazz up the flavor.

I suppose that doesn't exactly shock me, but as much they charge for some Extra Anejos - what I want is a EA tequila that's tasty because of superior barrel management and aging of a quality distillation. Not some slop that's been goosed up with sweeteners and chemicals. As a for instance, if you drink an EA and it tastes really sweet and has a cake-like flavor- that probably additives you're tasting.

A website called tequila matchmakers has a list of tequilas and distillers who don't use additives if that's a concern for you.

I cut up sharp cheddar and ham and add to the container. Put a baggie over the top and a uncracked egg on top of that. Then crack the egg in the container and zap for 40 sec, stir and zap between 20-30 sec depending in ingredients. Easy travel to the office and cooks fast.

Traditionally you coat the eggs with sodium silicate to block up the pores (water glass) to get them to store all winter when the chickens don't lay, but generally you can leave them out for a while without worrying about them, and if you do want to store longer coat them with crisco or lard. If you have sealable containers that will work OK too.
The problem is that the moisture evaporates in your dry cold fridge and they get thick and then go bad.

Your Gramma probably broke each egg into a saucer to check that it wasn't rotten and that the yolk stood higher than the white before adding it to her batter. It is good to check with elderly or farm eggs.

However one rotten egg will ruin that 4 egg cake, especially if it is the last one you add to the batter without checking!!

Freezing tomatoes to release water sounds like a good idea.

My Mom started adding tomato paste to Grandma's famous chili sauce recipe to reduce cooking time. Turns out looking brighter. Tastes best if the tomatoes, bell peppers and onions go through a meat grinder instead of a food processer.

Jalapenos added for some members of the family.

109 English muffin, bacon or sausage, egg and a slice of cheese... just like McDonalds, but better. The keys are to do the sausage on the thin side and drop the egg into the skillet while hot, break the yoke, and form a circular blob so it'll sit on the muffin. Melt the cheese if you want on the egg or the muffin.

Milady Jo and I need to go to the grocery store.

You know what they say, don't go to the grocery store when you're hungry? It's been a long time since breakfast.

So, we're going to have a late lunch somewhere before shopping.

But, it's going to be a while before we get out. So, we're having some slices of smoked gouda, and blue corn chips. Needs a nice red wine, but I'll be driving.

That's my existential cuisine report.

What works for me is a good sear using a very hot cast iron pan. Then the whole thing in the oven to finish

I set oven to 500deg. You need a blazing hot cast iron pan. You can just heat it up in the oven then put it on the stove top. I season the steak with nothing but salt and pepper.

One minute per side sear on the stove top.

Then the whole thing in the oven for about 2-3min, then reach in and flip then 2-3 minutes more. Take out and let it rest for a few minutes. you can cover it in foil if you want.

Eat.

199 If you're lucky enough to have an H.E.B. grocery store in your area, then go to one and purchase the Whataburger brand sausage. Same orange & white "branding" as the store architecture.

Slightly less "bite" than Jimmy Dean sausage, but with a subtle, deeper and broader flavor. And a Whataburger "Taquito", ordered at the store with sausage, egg and cheese, is amazing.

Eat it there at the store though. Or, you'll have a lapful of the drippings if you try to dine on the fly. You *want* that table and tray 'twixt the food and your pants.

I bought a big bottle of olive oil, not reading the label well enough, and it was some mixture of olive and canola oil. It was the same brand I normally get my extra-virgin and the label looked very similar. I didn't like it for anything but pan-frying but also I didn't want to waste the money. Took me four months to use it all and now I'm back to the real stuff.

216 Pretty sure if you buy corn oil in the store they had better not have any soy in it. Anything that just says vegetable oil is probably soy, but they might use canola if it is cheaper that month. But they put soy in tons of stuff. redC4 has said that most choc. chips have soy lec. Guittard sp? brand uses sunflower Lec. instead according to their label, so if sensitive to soy I would try them, before buying specialty soy free chips.

Moki, I was shocked when I actually started reading labels.

BB, it's easy. I poach chix breast in water with lots of cumin, garlic and pepper flakes. Let cool and drain. (I actually have some in the freezer now.)

I use a few cans of stokes chicken green chili and simmer with chicken stock, cumin garlic and whatever else you want.

When cool, slice chix into strips. Grate a bunch of sharp cheddar, jack or whatever you want.

I use a flour tortilla, put chicken, cheese, diced onions, roll up and place in 13x9 dish with sauce on the bottom. Top with more sauce, diced onions and cheese and bake.

Not great for leftovers. Best hot out the oven/broiler.

223 Making your own Worcestershire sounds like a real project, if even to find the numerous ingredients. Could be fun.

The tricky ones are tamarind and fish sauce made from fermented black anchovies for the umami. Find out where your best Oriental market is for the first and you can also pick up lots of other wonderful ingredients that you won't find anywhere else. The best fish sauce by far is made by Red Boat in Vietnam and is not commonly available except (believe it or not) in the Asian food section at Walmart. Don't tell anyone outside the horde. There must be a Vietnamese buyer for Walmart down in Bentonville Arkansas.

230 I’ve recently taken to having zabaglione for breakfast. It’s a lot like making scrambled eggs (if you make them over a double boiler) but you have to separate the yolk from the white and use separately.

And if I have wine leftover from the previous night, it means wine for breakfast, as that’s the most common flavoring for zabaglione.

I’m sure I’ll get tired of it eventually but that day is not today.

236 I got lazy and didn't want to stand there over a pan stirring the eggs and winding up burning them anyway.

So; I spray some PAM (or any other lubricant) into these 1" deep plates I got. They're the size around of a regular plate but with a side at the rim that goes up about and inch.

Mix up the eggs, put in some milk to make them smooth and sprinkle some onion powder on them then into the microwave for 3:00 to 3:30 on high and let them cook themselves. At about 2:45 open it up and stir things around cause some of the egg will have wound up in the center and is not cooking as well. Finish the time and there you have perfectly scrambled eggs without the smoke alarm going off or getting an oil spit on bare skin and standing there waiting while they cook. You can be doing something else for that 3 minutes.

I tried regular plates but the eggs sometimes would spill over the edge so I got these other dishes. (can't use metal of course)

Now I'm eating eggs for often and I like that.

I’ve recently settled on keeping peanut oil, olive oil, and either sunflower or safflower oil on hand, whichever happened to be cheapest when I ran out. Peanut oil for frying (if I’m not using lard), olive oil for salads that need flavoring, and sflower oil for salads that don’t, or baking if it needs a liquid oil instead of butter.

242 Making tortillas from masa flour is pig-easy. Add water until it's sticky enough to form into balls, then press flat between wax paper sheets with a tortilla press or a heavy smooth-bottomed pan. That's it.

They are a bit more fragile than the commercial corn tortillas; don't know why.

256 Speaking of beef heart...kinda-

Last time, the delightful and adventurous Mrs naturalfake and I were in Japan,

we were in an out of the way area at an out of the way sushi and robot bar on the bay.

They had just gotten in some very fresh fish including a tuna's heart. We'd never tried tuna's heart before so we gave it a whirl.

It was delicious. They had a great light dip to go with it (probably a kind of ponzu). And just barely seared the outside of the strips.

Everything was good there but the heart was the standout of the evening.

Yes, but it won't be quite as abrasive before it dissolves. Try regular salt and a tiny bit of corn oil or vegetable oil. That will work and the salt won't dissolve as quickly.

Helena, it's called Cafe Morro. Look for the yellow vacuum-packed packet at Dollar Tree, and possibly, as olddog suggests, Dollar General.

You only get 8 oz. in the packet, but at $1 apiece, you can have a pound of excellent coffee for $2.

311 English muffin, bacon or sausage, egg and a slice of cheese... just like McDonalds, but better.

Melt the cheese if you want on the egg or the muffin.

323 >> I have a confession to make. I don't like olive oil.
Posted by: JuJuBee at September 12, 2021 05:50 PM (UsshY)

I never did either but kept trying different ones. For salads I use a brand called Mavra's Greek olive oil. It's got a good flavor. (It's expensive so I wasn't using it in cooking as much as on my salads, but I'm liking it so much that I think it's worth it to cook with it too.)

324 I have been looking for peanut oil for months... none to be found here in Kentucky.

OK... periodically some off brand shows up... but rarely.

Huzzah! Easy too, because the temp is low and there less of a chance to burn or overcook the eggs!

339 I'm a bit more a purist on scrambled eggs than CBD - no cheese, just real butter and a splash of milk. Super fluffy and delicious.

Restaurants seem incapable of making really good scrambled eggs. A lot of them are acceptable, but I don't think I've ever had any as good as I can make myself.

343 I went through that bread-baking learning curve, neverenoughcaffeine. We're at exactly a mile high. I tried to switch to Wheat Montana. Did not work for me. Better luck when I switched back to King Arthur. I switched to a different brand of yeast. Loved RedStar at sea level, now I use Fleischmann's. I don't let it rise as high but have more risings. Here's my method: I put the bowl on my dryer, cover it with my daughter's old baby blanket, and turn on the dryer for twenty minutes. Punch it down, repeat 2 or 3 times. Oh, and I bake it at at least 25 degrees hotter.

Hope this helps.

347 Tomato Sauce... I have never been a fan of cooked-all-day sauce. I like a fresher tomato flavor. Run your tomatoes through a food mill, or food processor. Strain pulp through a fine china cap or a colander lined with cheesecloth. Collect all the liquid. It is full of flavor. Pour the liquid into a pot big enough to hold all of the sauce you are going to make and boil down to a syrup. Add the pulp and whatever other ingredients you like in your sauce. Simmer until it is done to your liking.

348 I had a lucky accident preparing tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. It usually takes all day to reduce to the desired thickness, and the walls are dripping wet. I froze excess tomatoes last year. When I thawed them, a lot of water separated from them. I poured it off, blenderized them and had sauce ready after an hour of cooking. Tasted much more like fresh tomatoes than sauce that simmered all day

I have not parboiled a cabbage for Galumpki/Galumptsy(stuffed cabbage) for years. I freeze the cabbage whole straight from the store and when I thaw it (takes about 24-36 hours in the fridge) it peels and folds very easily - and without scorching mu fingers. I also usually freeze the fresh mushrooms for many dishes, as the freezing releases HUGE amounts of mushroom flavor (save the liquid from thawing) and allows for a firm 'cooked' mushroom texture in very little time in dished such as soup or stroganoff. This allows me to add the mushrooms in the last 5-10 minutes of the cooking process which allows them to habe some nice texture at the end.

349 215 Back before my now 16 year old daughter thought I was an idiot, indeed she worshipped me as some sort of superhero, I'd make her breakfast for dinner - cheesy scrambleds, bacon, french toast (with powdered sugar), and fresh squeezed. Offer her that now and it would be, *loud sigh* "like, that's like breakfast, not like dinner."
