Love anything one pot, and Ken's a huge fan of soups, stews and casseroles so that works out well for me as well, ROTB!
Guess what I did last night!! Guess! Okay, sheesh, you are all slow guessers! For the first time my entire 66 years I poached and ate an egg! I'd always revolted against it - what's an egg not fried in butter? Besides, I'd seen those bits of white stringy stuff floating on top of a pot of hard cooking eggs when one had a hidden crack in it, and YUCK! Ken was gone, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and try it. Tastiest bullet I think I've ever eaten!!
This has been a banner year for me!! Asparagus, roasted Brussels sprouts, goat cheese souffle, (had that on the cruise for the first time - YUM) and a perfect prime rib, which I'd eaten many times but never tried to cook at home. Wish I could have my life back and figure out what else I must have missed that I would have loved!! We grew up eating only what Ma liked, and did we get the short end of THAT stick as far as variety goes. Oh, don't get me wrong, we ate very well - casseroles, pig cheeks, chislic, Ma's amazing fried chicken, pork chops, beef and pork roasts, walleye, venison, pheasant , and a huge variety of potatoes cooked every way possible, to name a few! But Ma's idea of veggie sides was sauerkraut, corn, beans, peas, tomatoes, cukes, beets and squash. Never broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, sprouts, or any of that kind of thing. What a shame!
Now I can add poached eggs to my list!!
