I know I post a lot about food. But I just thought I'd share that I've been expanding my horizons. I am now not only the family baker, I have now decided to not lead my family to obeisity and take on the role of family chef instead(at least on the weekends). I specialize in breakfast foods, but that doesn't limit me of dinner foods. I have made over easy eggs, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, a vegetable frittata, the classic grilled cheese, crepes, deviled eggs, chopped salad, and dessert of yogurt parfaits. They have all worked out wonderfully, except that the frittata took 2 hours because we only had an extremely large skillet, and because of the skillet size it came out very thin. I also can't shape crepes for my life, so they came out as oblong ovals. The cheese to bread ratio was a little off on the grilled cheese. The bacon could have been cooked a little longer. I forgot the granola in the parfaits and they came out very yogurt- heavy. (Its hard to mess up eggs, so those were fine) But nonetheless they all turned out delicious and my family has been very happy with me lately. Which is why I choose meal times to ask them about going on a tropical vacation this summer. As I'm blogging, I'm waiting for my corn chowder to simmer. Let's hope this turns out ok because my grandma's eating with us tonight.
