Not sure if perfect is the right word here since perfection when it comes to food and especially eggs is very subjective. I do like my eggs soft and tender and I am a fan of soft-boiled eggs but I’m not everybody so if you aren’t into runny yolks, exit now or stick around and […]
Microwaved Breaky (scrambled eggs and pan roasted potatoes)
Do not stop reading after this off-putting title. Microwaving food has a pretty bad rep, but just because it is associated with heating up frozen dinners, popping corn kernels, making mostly everything put in them soggy or rubbery and on top of that, the evil magnetron that lurks inside produces deadly radiation, it really doesnt […]
Thanksgiving 2012

Best 75 bucks I’ve spent. If you wanna […]

Arepas, Corn Flour Goodness.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arepa The process of making arepas is super easy. I have yet to measure the water to flour ratio, I always add water bit by bit until I hit the right consistency. My guess is one cup of flour one cup of water. Corn flour absorbs so much water. I’ve been seasoning them with salt […]
