The steak and eggs turned out good. The problem is, I flip eggs like Blair’s cousin Geri. I decided against the Liver and onions last night. I wasn’t in the mood to cook. Maybe later this week.

You don't need a block of knives. You need a good pairing knife, a good chef knife, if you want to fillet a fish a good filleting knife.
Kitchen work really isn't that hard. I'm not that clever, if I have it worked out, ya know.
No love for a nice serrated bread knife?

The fried fish.

Apparently I can't spell, it's "bream". We pronounce it "brim" though. You should try keeping the fins on while you fry them, they too taste like potato chips.

Man, the wife is in the lab today, son is at daycare....maybe I'll bust out the crappie poles and try to catch some for dinner on lunch.

Just put jalapeno poppers in the oven. Stuffed with cream cheese, smoked turkey and lightly seasoned with Lawry's.


Wrapped them with bacon then tossed them in the oven.

silentsinger @silentsinger I want to make Scotch eggs tomorrow. Never made them before. Any tips. I'll take tips for a mustard sauce as well.
Oooooh!!! Up to you quantity of sausage meat to gubbins ratio but I use a lot of spring onion, fresh thyme and sage
boil the eggs, let them cool, roll in flour then moukd the sausage meat around them, plop into a beaten egg, them breadcrumbs. I don’t do my own breadcrumbs, Progresso’s are fine.
I put Mazola vegetable oil in a wok to deep fry, hot it up to 375, reduced it to 350 and fried them off 2x2

how flippin cool is it that you’re making them?!

Oh and salt and pepper

good way of knowing if you have the seasoning right is to fry off a tiny bit of the meat as a taster

Do you slightly undercook the eggs because they have to fry?
Yes. I can't help you out timing wise because it was guesswork for me the other day being I screwed my first 4 up, had to throw them out and start again. I've actually done them in the oven before but only as hard boiled. First time I've nailed a yolk with Scotch eggs was the other day.

Cool. I know 5 minutes on my stove at my elevation will get me a gelatinous yoke, so I should be good.

At your elevation? What's we on about here? We ain't conquering Everest, we're just making tasty eggs!
Lol. Water boils differently depending on atmospheric pressure. I'm at sea level here in Florida. Fucked up a few meals in Utah at 4,000 feet elevation.

Oh man you've got me off on one now. I hadn't ever thought about that with cooking, just sprinting and which part of the world tennis is being played oxygen performance wise :D
