07-10 Scrambled eggs with cheese

I remembered that many people are surprised at the way we make our scrambled eggs. So I thought I would add it into the mix here. A few years ago I watched a Martha Stewart demonstration and she used water instead of milk to soften the eggs. I have also read research recently explaining that the proteins in eggs solidify differently at different temperatures. Cooking at a lower temperature keeps the eggs softer and less rubbery. Maybe that's why everyone loves this kind of scrambled egg better than the hotel buffet.

This is hard to describe in just words, as you cook you will learn the best timing.
Heat a skillet over medium heat
Crack egg into hot skillet.
When whites become opaque, scramble egg and add in a couple of tablespoons of water.
Continue to scramble, the water steams up and keeps the egg soft
Remove from heat immediately after there are no clear whites
sprinkle with shredded cheese.
A cheddar blend seems to be the most popular among our eaters.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
