twins...

sometimes, when you are cooking, things happen that you couldn't plan or make happen if you wanted to. this is one of those times. as i was making my breakfast this morning (a grilled egg and cheese sandwich for those of you who don't already know that this is my current addiction), i cracked the egg into the pan and was greeted with a neat surprise...TWINS!!! yep, i got a double yolk egg.
it looked cooler before i broke the yolks, but, hey, it's my breakfast and i really couldn't call a timeout on the whole cooking thing while i ran to get the camera so i could take a picture. so i just kind of broke it. but you can tell there are two.

being me, i just HAD to google to see if this was good luck or bad luck. i didn't want to. really, i didn't. what if it told me something i didn't want to know? but like the proverbial train wreck, i just had to. well, the result is that i am just as unsatisfied as i was before i looked. some say it's unlucky, some say it means you will come into money, some say a birth...of twins (and this could be lucky or unlucky, depending on your perspective). so all in all, the only part of me that is satisfied is my belly. that sandwich was good because i do, after all, make a mean grilled cheese sandwich. combined with my excellent egg making skills and, well, it is pretty much breakfast perfection.

spinach & cheese fritatta

I can't take too much responsibility for this recipe as it is a weight watchers one. for the most part, unless something is just really obvious, i tend to follow recipes closely the 1st time and decide from there what needs to be changed. since i have been delinquent in my postings and this is an older dish, i can't remember if it is turkey bacon or fakin' bacon (since we do both around here) but, judging by the curls in it, i think it must be turkey bacon. i wish i had made potatoes this morning since the plate was a little empty (note the grapes - just as in my art, i apparently dislike negative space on my plating as well). anyhow, this dish is not too terribly interesting, but i was pretty proud of how nicely it came out on my 1st try at fritatta so i figured i would post it. although i think my next one will be better because one of the highlights of being without electricity for 7 days is that i am now the proud owner of a cast iron pan so i can properly melt the cheese on the fritatta in the oven.
