Breakfast for dinner

Nov 27, 2007

I tend to suffer from dinner monotony, which means I find something easy and tasty and I make it at least once a week. This month it's Giada De Laurentiis' Italian Egg & Pasta Scramble. Beyond the eggs and orzo, the ingredients include pancetta, asparagus (or any green veg really), and smoked mozzarella. The beauty of the recipe is that I substitute like crazy and it's quick and easy. I didn't have pancetta a couple of times I wanted to make it, so instead I used bacon, another time ground turkey. I couldn't find orzo in one of the stores I was in, so I used some other pasta laying around. Really, I love all of her recipes, but highly recommend this one (particularly if you're a breakfast food fan).

Sorry no photos of it, was so hungry tonight I inhaled before I could consider immortalizing it.

Now, I like BBQ and all, but...

This grosses me out. It probably shouldn't since I eat meat, but this does. Anyone else?

Many books just stack in purgatory on my night-table, but I was quite pleased this evening to actually finish this one!

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Michael Pollan

You might want to skip this one if you don't want to think about where your food comes from, and whether that's a good or bad thing. Pollan starts with the question - with all the foods available to us, what should we eat if we consider health, environmental, and ethical factors? This is a thought-provoking examination of how food economics, the farm industry, and the new world of organic foods co-exist. As a lifetime meat-eater it was also interesting to read the chapter on the ethics of eating animals. It's didn't sway me, but did give me pause, and I'll certainly look at my choices differently. Pollan's writing style is quite descriptive, elegant, and researched, which made it an easy read.
