Slow Food


Anyone who follows my current addictions on the right has probably noticed "slow scrambled eggs." I wanted to post it just before the weekend, when I hope things slow down a bit for you, so you too can discover their marvelousness. Hmm. Lusciousness? I think they are amazing.

Have three eggs at room temperature. (I've tried making this with fewer eggs: disaster). Beat them with implement of choice. Add a pinch of salt. I also like to add chives and tarragon. Over your pilot light or very low heat melt one tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet. Pour your eggs in, and with the heat on low, continuously stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan. (I like to use a silicon spatula). Slowly, slowly they will turn from liquid to a light custardy texture. And then they're ready to serve.

CO, this photo's for you.
AH, ask and you shall be answered...

  6. You can always make amends for your transgression, RC, by eating a pie! Besides, it looks like you have company when it comes to overlooking national holydays: our local goddess. I better not say more, else there bee more self-flagallations.
