This is one of those classic recipes, maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe not but it’s one I grew up on. Basically, this is a slice of bread that you make a hole in the center of. Then you butter it up, toss it into a fry pan and then crack an egg in the center. Cook, flip and Wa-La. .. But like any recipe (an especially one involving eggs), there’s a right way and a disastrous way to do it. Here’s the right way…by the way Di was visiting this weekend and she loves the things.

Just came back from the kitchen. Have a lot to do this morning then Di’s coming over to visit, so I needed something easy to make. It’s a cold New England day this morning so I was in the mood for something warm and basic, no frills, honest food whatever you want to call it. Took some fresh fish (wild and not farmed or course) out of the frig. Took out my stainless steel steamer. Added water and set on high heat. While this was heating up took a little organic canola oil and coated [...click to contimue reading...]

My friend Diane is trying to cut down the amount of fat in her diet and wanted to know how best to make a hard boiled egg as a substitute for fried. Here it is: Shopping List: Spring Water (enough to cover the eggs in your saucepan & fill a cooling bath) Organic Eggs Recipe: Place Spring Water in the Frig 8 hours before to cool down. If you don’t have 8 hours just add some ice. This is for the cooling bath. Place the eggs in a saucepan. Add Spring Water until the eggs are [...click to contimue reading...]
OK ready for this?.. Seems that Sean O’Connor has inventor something called the Batter Blaster (that’s Batter not Bladder). This thing, food product or whatever, shoots out ready to cook pancake batter from an aerosol can. Sort of like a Cheese Wiz concept except for pancakes. This labor saving product hopes to alleviate us from the grueling task for measuring flour and other ingredients and the exhausting mixing which follows. And to it’s credit, reportably delivers USDA-Certified Organic Batter…But, and this is an unfair statement because I don’t plan to ever be buying any, I [...click to contimue reading...]
Just about everyone was into organic food back in the day. Well this book is supposedly the best of the best from regular people. Some recipes no doubt handed down through the generations. Here’s a couple that are new not so much for the recipe but in what seems like an unusual combination:
I use to be a big believer in prepping and cooking huge batches of vegi’s and storing them to “get it done”. But I’ve been getting away from this for a couple of reasons..First, it’s pretty daunting washing, peeling & cutting so many vegi’s. And even though I’d try to work some music and social aspect into it, it was still about 3 hrs work for the amount of cooking I’d do (I love vegetables). So it took a quite bit of time time at a single setting (and there was that argument the chef’s knife had with [...click to contimue reading...]
