Two boiled eggs, cooked just past "soft", and a slice of whole wheat
peanut butter toast. Accompanied by a glass of milk.

Habit of a lifetime, I spoon the cooked egg out of the shell into a cup
(coffee mug). Add a dollop of butter, S&P and sort of chop it all
together with a spoon. That's how my mom made them for me when I was a
tot. She called it "egg-a-cup". The handle made it easy for small
hands to hold.

Now what should I make for dinner...

Well, there's the difference. Stuffed or roasted peppers aren't my cup
of tea. I hope you enjoyed it.

I've always found Mexican chorizo to be very greasy. Of course I was
buying it from a "Mexican market" in west Tennessee. They didn't speak
English and I don't speak Spanish. All I know is it was very greasy.

I prefer Portuguese or Spanish style Chourico. Or Linguica. From
Gaspar's Sausage Company:

http://www.gasparssausage.com/

Publix has Gaspar's sausage avalable. The price is not overwhelming it
tastes very good. I've got a grinder but I'm not likely to undertake
sausage making.

Speaking of breakfast posts, did anybody ever find out how Andy died?

Shot by the husband/boyfriend of a grocery cashier? Food poisoning
from spoiled meat?

I doubt you will find sweet potatoes at your local vegetable stand tomorrow
unless they are importing them from somewhere far away. Isn't that a fall
crop locally? Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's my favourite breakfast. 2 eggs various styles and peanut butter
toast. Got the habit from my type 1 diabetic Dad. Lots of protein and
limited carbs..

Sweet potatoes are in the supermarket here in Texas.

This morning, I steamed eggs and George walked into the kitchen and said
he was in a cheeseburger mood, so we went out for breakfast.

I just grilled some marinated chicken thighs. The marinade was pineapple
juice, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, a little dried dill, cracked
pepper, a few shavings of ginger, a couple of tbs of olive oil and a
splash of vinegar. It smelled so good cooking. I haven't tried it yet
because I'm not really hungry yet. I like to let chicken rest for a while.

I always smile at your memory of egg-a-cup as served by your mom.

heheh....I like your steamed eggs idea but I like George's cheeseburger idea
even better! For breakfast though? You go, George!

Yeah...sweet potatoes are always available in grocery stores (mine too). But
i was saying to Jill that a local vegetable stand in her area probably won't
have them unless they are imported from far away.

On the east coast of the US, sweet potatoes come into harvest time in the
fall. I see also that North Carolina is the largest US producer of sweet
potatoes.

I love those things.

It is more like brunch. When we have shopping or errands to do, I like
doing them early in the day and stopping someplace and having a
combination late breakfast/early lunch.

Yesterday it was cheeseburgers at around 10:30 AM at Whataburger. One
of my favorite guilty pleasures.

I don't know a thing about growing potatoes, sweet or otherwise. I do
know I can usually find sweet potatoes at the vegetable stand this time
of year. Also small new potatoes. Probably some small yellow squash
and zucchini. I'll find out when I go there.

I've tried several zucchini recipes and I even grown them, but neither of us
likes them

Sounds tasty. I've got some boneless chicken thighs. I've got soy
sauce or could use teriyaki. Dried dill, yes. Peppercorns and a
grinder, yes. Olive oil, yes. I only have powdered ginger. I don't
use lots of ginger.

I'd add minced garlic but that's just me. I'm not sure I'd add
vinegar since there is already lime and pineapple juice. <shrugs>

I sometimes find after I've been prepping and cooking things I am not
hungry. I might be craving it when I start prepping/cooking. But once
I'm done sometimes I feel as if I've already eaten.

Thank you, Cheryl. It's a very fond memory.
