Hungry but with no meat thawed, my bad, I decided to do something with eggs. Fried eggs are great, but not all that tasty. Sure, you can do this and that with them, or add spices (which I have few of at the moment, not yet on top of that game yet), or add them to other things. I have few neat little items in my kitchen currently. Having just moved in this summer, with so many things going on and needing to be done, my pantry has not been stocked as I would like it and have had it. That takes time, years I am guessing. It really does.
Still, I thought about the project while my stomach let me know that my brain was on a short leash. Feed me or the gray matter gets it, was pretty much what I was getting. Still, being slow to act, I let notions come and go, looking at options, and taking my sweet time, until it hit me. Scrambling the eggs seemed like the best plan. But what else? Ah, browning the edges of onion in butter, then laying in the eggs! Oh, and bacon and toast. It turned out perfect, simple as it all really is if that is not the point.
I am, however, quite hungry for meat. Not eggs, not fish, not chicken if that does technically pass for meat, but real meat, red meat. If I do not eat that in large enough quantities and often enough, no matter what else I eat I am left with a huge insatiable hunger. I do prefer beef, but lamb (fresh young lamb, not mutton!), venison, and a few others will do to a degree and for a while. I actually need beef. I suppose I can technically live on the other meats, or even beans and rice. Think zombies and brains, almost literally, then change it to me and beef, almost.
So, the next time I am in town, I am going to stop at the butcher shop. I have been living low and using my money in other ways. Fine, fine, but now I have to get beef and keep it in stock. Roasts, steak, hamburger, stew meat, offal to include brains if I could get it and blood if I knew of a place where I could get it fresh and warm. Yes, I know, odd. But that is how it is.
Well, the eggs worked and it was satisfying given what I have. The onions were a treat in there. As plain as even that sounds, it was wonderful. Bacon does not hurt almost anywhere it is present or however it might be fixed either.
Later.
I love lamb too, pass on the brains and offal though. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you ever end up in the neighy, I'll have to show you differently. It is possible you simply have never had the wrong stuff cooked properly. Perhaps, though, I am simply a bit beastly. Certainly gastronomically.
