A Sunday Nosh
After blowing up at my housemate I realized something; I was hungry. It wasn't a bad blow-up, two passive-aggressives getting on each other's nerves is not going to lead to much in entertaining drama. It was, though, just enough out of my usual groove that I knew something was up.
Dinner was 14+ hours ago, and calling it "dinner" is to insult the meal. Supermarket fast food that got tasteless after a few bites. The inexpensive champers was better, but even that got old fast.
Fine. Hungry. Eat.
What?
A look into the fridge revealed a few mushrooms that were gettting pretty shriveled up. So, heated up the everyday cast iron skillet, drizzled in some light olive oil, chopped up the semi-dry fungi and sauteed. Oh, the champers I didn't finish last night? Dumped some in, slapped a lid on to keep in the steam. Presto! Sauteed mushrooms in olive oil and white wine.
Dusted in some garlic powder. Those who insist on using fresh garlic don't live in a place where 2 bulbs for $1.00 is considered a fantastic sale.
Cracked two eggs over the mushrooms and scrambled. Grabbed some of the cherry tomatoes I accidentally put in the fridge, diced 'em up and tossed those suckers in. Turned off heat. Grated up a little Parmesan cheese. Put the egg, mushroom and tomato mixture in a bowl, then topped it with the cheese and some of my homemade salmon caviar.
Found the last slice of edible whole wheat bread, put a little butter on it, ground some black pepper over the whole shebang and dove in, fork first.
I usually don't cook on Sundays. On Sundays the microwave is my friend. But a nice meal on a cool fall morning is a treat. A few moment to savior the good stuff, especially made sweeter if some of it is the direct result of your labor.
Have a safe and productive Labor Day Weekend!
