Scrambled eggs, take the umpteenth
Saturday, June 27th, 2009 07:09 amI am back to cooking! Not sure how long this will last. I stopped cooking for a while because of work stress leading to lack of time, but work seems better these days so I may have more time to play! Last time I cooked, I ended up with bland fried rice. I meant to post about it, but got distracted, oops. I'm still not sure what I should have done -- added salt, maybe?
Anyway, on today's menu: sleeplessness at 6 am on a Saturday morning, hunger, scrambled eggs.
Woke up way too early, and too hungry to fall asleep again, so I decided to cook myself some light breakfast. Cereal didn't appeal to me; wanted protein of some sort. Easiest thing on the menu, eggs :D Doh :D
( procedure, and pictures! )
I think I forgot the salt again, or maybe I was depending on the cheese for salt, and when I switched I forgot to account for it. Hmm.
Also, one thing I'm slowly learning is that I need to have everything prepared beforehand, instead of rushing about for forks/plates/ingredients while one set is cooking. It may make sense to multitask while something is cooking on the stove, but since most of what I'm doing right now is only on the stove a very short time, it makes lots more sense to just have everything ready to be dumped in.
Anyway, that's it for today. Basically have reinforced the lessons that:

Anyway, that's it for today. Basically have reinforced the lessons that:
- egg is good
- egg with ingredients is good
- perhaps I need to learn to use salt
- preparing stuff beforehand would save me a lot of rushing around!
- turn off the gas stove. Don't forget to turn it on, too.
