strips of thick bacon, 2 eggs over-medium and a piece of toast. If
absolutely necessary I can do this whilst holding an umbrella over my head

not,

Great night tonight! You know that 2-1/8" hole saw I couldn't find last
week? It was under the seat of my car! What the hell???? Must've fallen
under there last September when I moved into the new house.

I had quiche, does that count? Spinach, mushrooms and bacon. To my
amazement, it came out the exact same texture and taste as the quiche I
used to make ... geez ... well over 20 years ago. I was thrilled. Nice
change of pace.

Fascinating!

Recipe? I can't make quiche to save my life. Just comes out
bland/boring.

Quiche is so easy to make. My secret ingredient is nutmeg (same with a lot
of my soups). Just don't ask me to make pie crust. I buy the frozen
deep-dish ones. 5 eggs, lightly beaten, whisk in some cream, sauteed
veggies (minced onion, garlic, sauteed in butter) grated cheese - Fontina is
good or Gruyere, both excellent melting cheeses -salt, pepper and nutmeg to
taste. If you want, add some cooked crumbled bacon. Or add lightly steamed
spinach, well drained, or chopped steamed broccoli. Mushrooms (if you like
them). Pour the mixture into the crust and bake it about 25 minutes.
Voila!

Sometimes when I do breakfast for dinner, I make chilaquiles or
something similar. I tear up corn tortillas into inch sized pieces or
so, and fry in a med-hot pan with a little oil. Add diced onion and
sometimes a little ham, or leftover pork chop, or steak, that's diced
in little pieces. Stir around. When the tortillas get crispy, I add 2-3
beaten eggs and stir around. When eggs are set enough, turn off heat.
Then, add shredded cheese and fold over egg mixture so it melts. And,
in the end, on the plate, I add salsa, sour cream, cilantro, raw onion
(save some from the onion that went in the pan) tomato, avocado, or
what ever is in the kitchen along those lines, but most importantly I
add Tabasco. If I were out of Tabasco, I probably would not make this.

God, I love chilaquiles. I miss having good Mexican food available.

Chilaquiles are easy to make. Karen gave a pretty good description, although
I always include refried beans in mine. But you live in the Bay Area,
right? Are you saying there's no "good Mexican food" around you at all? What
would make it "good"?

Yeah, I'm gonna try it. I cook a lot of Mexican food (lived in San Diego
for 25 years, have lots of relatives in Mexico, so it's a default
setting), but I was talking about taquerias and stuff.

I live in Oakland, where there is *phenomenal* Ethiopian food, but so
far, only mediocre Mexican. We did have some okay stuff in Fruitvale (a
largely Mexican neighborhood) and will go back to try the other places
there, but when the best I've had here is at Acapulco's, it makes me
sad.

("Good" is hard to describe. I know it when I see it.)

Is that the thick bacon you were pissing and moaning about in another
thread? Guess it was good enough for your fat ass, after all.

It makes sense - you miss what you're used to. If she lives in the
Bay Area, the Mexican food is North California Mexico style and if
she's from somewhere else she misses that style. For instance, when
I'm in Southern California, I miss "real" Mexican food... meaning
NoCal style.

I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

Breakfast for dinner is about my favorite meal in the world. Maybe
because it's so hard to enjoy good food early in the day.

Have you tried Zamarono, on International (E. 14th)?

My poor old copy of Julia Child's 'Mastering the art of French cooking'
quiche section is dog eared, stained and otherwise messed up due to my
love of her quiche recipes, of course her quiche lorraine is very good,
but i like the quiche aux fruit de mer the best, shrimp, crab or lobster
are all good but i like the fresh crab quiche the best. Her blue cheese
quiche is very good also. Tomato quiche with anchovies and olives,
onion quiche, onion quiche with anchovies and black olives, mushroom
quiche all are very, very good.

Her recipe for rapee morvandelle (gratin of shredded potatoes with ham
and eggs and onions) is essentially a quiche without a crust and served
from the oven proof dish it is baked in and is delicious.

I think you and my husband are long lost brothers. He *used* to fix
breakfast any time he needed to eat.

Nope, but I will. Should I do it before or after we loosen the budget a
little?

I've always been more of a "dinner for breakfast" sort of person.
Someone has to buck the trend.

Funny, I didn't see either of these messages until Joe Littleshoes
responded. Sorry, -L, I wasn't ignoring you. I'll post the recipe
later today.
