Today, I can finally eat without making myself sick. Breakfast was
creamed eggs on toast (recipe follows, I didn't bother googling, just
did it myself). Lunch was: Chili and cornbread; cabbage cooked with
beets and onions; and crackers topped with Drunken Goat cheese and
marinated roasted tomatoes. Yummy.
Thanks to everyone who was sweet to me while I was sick. I appreciated
it.
Serene
Creamed Eggs on Toast
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4-1/2 onion, diced
salt
freshly ground pepper
2 heaping tablespoons flour
1/2 tsp. each dry mustard and curry powder
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped coarsely
6 slices bread
Put the milk in a small saucepan and place on low to heat. Meanwhile,
in a small frying pan, melt butter with oil on medium-low heat. Add
onion, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion
begins to be translucent. Add flour, mustard, and curry powder, and
cook, stirring often, until the flour taste is gone and the mixure
just starts to barely brown. (Meanwhile, toast the bread, and cut
into triangles if you want.) When the roux is barely browned, add to
hot milk and whisk over medium to medium-low heat until you get a
thickish white sauce. Remove from heat and stir in eggs. Serve over
toast triangles. Serves three.
