Broke The Yolk

This dreary weather has me wanting to chew things like a teething baby! I’ve been munchy all day. And getting that funky feeling again. No endorphins? No coffee? Rain? Ahhh!

My leg injury is much better today – but the other side of my leg is really bad! It doesn’t feel like an injury – it feels like a compensation cramp of sorts. It’s like the tendons are all scrunched up because I didn’t really extend my hamstring all the way yesterday in fear of delaying repair. It relaxes after I walk on it for a bit so I’m hoping that it blows over and my whole leg is much improved tomorrow. Matt’s leg massage during a post-dinner House Hunters helped. [yeah, I watch it a lot. I’ve seen every single one!]

Tonight was an "eat what you want" night and we pulled together a bunch of leftovers:

Tomato sauce, roasted veggies, freshly made WHEATBERRIES (!!)

IMG_0861 (640x427)

Plus EGGS. The world’s easiest dinner item.

IMG_0863 (640x427)

PLUS a canned soup that I’ve had in my pantry for AGES. I’ve planned canned soup on our menu for about 4 weeks in a row and we always end up eating foods in the fridge first. Tonight we combined them all! Amy’s sent me this soup to sample and I have to say it was one of the best canned soups ever (and I really don’t like canned soups!) I was tentative about the smell, but the taste was great! Really sweet.

IMG_0864 (640x427)

Garlic Gold also made an appearance. Another food I am surprised I like so much! Because it’s all the good part of garlic – roast + butter and none of that sharp onion flavor.

IMG_0865 (640x427)

So what did we make?

Eggy Soup!

IMG_0879 (640x427)

Amy’s soup mixed with homemade tomato sauce, leftover roasted veggies and wheatberries topped with a fried egg, goat cheese and fresh basil from Karen’s garden.

IMG_0872 (640x427)

After using Justin’s 28 mm lens this weekend, I pulled out the stock lens that came with my Rebel to try to capture some wide angle shots. The frame is great, but the photos just aren’t quite as crisp as my 50mm lens.

Stock lens on left. 50mm on right. Can you see a diff?

IMG_0873 (640x427) IMG_0875 (640x427)

My bowl was handmade by a family friend, Mark Latta of Hillsborough!

IMG_0878 (640x427)

Broke the yolk!

IMG_0884 (640x427)

To drink I mixed POM and water. Didn’t want boring ole water tonight.

IMG_0871 (640x427)

IMG_0867 (640x427)

Matt shared a bite of his egg + tomato sandwich!

IMG_0882 (640x427)

Might have a bite of dark chocolate for my inflammation.

And now I’m going up to take an Epsom Salt bath!! Remember I used to write about Epsom Salt for my public relations job!! They are so good for the muscles – all that magnesium!

    Hahaha at first I was like dreary weather and appetite? But then I thought about it and you’re right–I get super munchy when it’s icky out. I also get the munchies when I can’t workout. Funny how that works, huh?

    BUT perhaps you’re munchie because it’s POT DAY!!! 🙂 🙂

    I LOVE Espsom salts! Seriously, I sing the praises all the time. People probably get tired of hearing about it I talk about how great it is that much! Sorry about your leg. I hope it feels better soon! I am a House Hunter’s addict myself. Can’t help it. I love looking at homes!

    As for dinner, we did the egg thing too only on a polenta pizza crust! I love eggs for dinner! YUM!

    I’m off the caffeine too, so today’s been a joy. Lulu is currently complaining that her juice is in the “wrong” sippy cup. I’m so munchy that even your eggs look good. Praise God, GLEE is on tonight. We need some glee up in this joint. (And I’m not referencing the date on that one). Let’s all just put this day behind us.

    I second your positive vote for the Amy’s tomato bisque. It is hands down my favorite canned soup. Mix in a little yogurt or some decadent goat cheese, and you are in business. Of course, your concoction looks great!

    I have not used my stock lens much at all, I can’t seem to get good shots with it. Much prefer my 50mm. I really want a fancy pants macro lens but that isn’t in the budget for years to come. 😀

    I LOVE that soup. I didn’t notice that it was very sweet, but my husband did. I made it for him when he had strep throat recently, and he didn’t even eat it bc he said it was too sweet. I couldn’t believe it! Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich (or some form of it) is one of my fav. meals.

    That’s my favorite canned soup. Ever.

    Growing up my mom always made Campbell’s Tomato Soup with grilled cheese sandwiches, so it was hard for me to make the switch… but now that I have I could never go back. The Amy’s brand has such a homemade flavor… so tasty!

    This is going to be a really stupid question, but is there a certain cooked-enough point that makes an egg safe to eat? I know a person is not supposed to eat raw eggs, so all I ever do is scramble, but I’d like to try something else. (I remember runny yolks from childhood breakfasts.)

    Embarrassing that I don’t know this. Ha

      Anyone in foodservice would tell you to cook an egg until the yolk is totally solid. Unfortunately that’s not very fun! I’m willing to take my chances…

    I was actually talking with some photographers (friends) last night about the rebel and they suggested I purchase the body only and not get the stock lens. Do you agree? Trying to figure out my best option if I am going to make the SLR plunge.

      April 21, 2010 at 10:38 am

      Unless you’re going to buy a fancier wide angle lens, I would get it. Sometimes the 50mm just doesn’t work (like with people you have to stand realllly far back.) Have you played with both? You’ll see what I mean when you get them. So unless you’re going to buy both a 50mm AND a 28mm, then get the stock lens.
