Not a failure, but a very near miss

I wanted to make eggs benedict for breakfast this morning, but I was absolutely not no way going to make it the traditional way with a full cup of butter. I made it with about 2/3 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup of butter, and three egg yolks.

It was weirdly bitter. mckitterick is not a fan of bitter foods, so I started throwing stuff in. Extra cayenne, salt, curry powder and a wee bit of turbinado sugar to remove some of the zing.

It sure wasn't hollandaise, but it was pretty good. The yogurt I used was the last of the stuff I was using for a starter yogurt, plain non-fat and a week old. If I try it again, I'll use fresh whole milk yogurt. I don't know that I'd serve it over eggs next time, but it was good with the asparagus.

It must be a theme. Global Cafe had California Eggs Benedict on the breakfast menu. Green chili sauce!

It sounds delish.

I didn't think about mexican-izing it. Hm! Maybe next time!

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

OOh, and they did it with turkey instead of ham.

Green chili makes EVERYTHING better.

Dear gawds, ESPECIALLY Rafael's at the Global Cafe. I've bought containers of it to bring home and cook pulled pork in it.

I hope you are feeling better today. I didn't sleep well, and got up in the middle of the night, and felt even worse. I still felt kinda weird this morning, but am okay now. Wow, whatever that was, it lasted longer than I thought food bloating you should last.

P.S. That aside. I had fun going out last night and meeting your friends!

I'm feeling better, but I did have some early morning unpleasantness. No More Ingredient! Boo, hiss.

[royal-spice.livejournal.com]

Ingredient was the culprit?! Unbelievable! I thought that was one of the "cleaner" places to eat in town. :/

Chris was fine...I think maybe it was the spicy tofu. He had the chicken.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Just another reminder to say no to soy, eh?

[bestill.livejournal.com]

Normally, I have NO problems with soy. So I'm not sure exactly what caused it.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

But I like tofu. It's a nice treat once in a while. I usually don't have this reaction. And I know bestill doesn't, either.

I love the photo in this post! One of the quotes that make me smile EVER so much ;)

If the whole human race lay in one grave, the epitaph on its headstone might well be: `It seemed a good idea at the time.' - Dame Rebecca West (1892-1983)

Watching the Food Channel or the Food network is like visual masturbation for me.
