This was a food weekend for me and the Airman. It seemed like every event worthy of note was centered around food in one way or another; if we weren't eating it we were talking about it, if we weren't talking about it we were being taught how to make it, if we weren't being taught how to make it we were watching it, and so on and so forth. So, in honor of all of you food focused out there like me, I'll tell you about my weekend, not day by day, but dish by dish.
1) Scrambled eggs with pan fried German sausage and a side of Ezekial toast smothered in grape jelly - The Airman and I had this for breakfast Saturday morning. This may sound like the old tried and true breakfast that everyone has had, blah blah, but it is the meat that makes this meal. A short description: It is one long sausage that you first boil and then slice up before you throw it into a pan. This is where the magic happens. Frying it in the skillet not only browns it but allows the, I kid you not, pockets of cheese in the meat to begin to melt and ooze all over the place. THIS IS HEAVEN and so should be treated with the proper respect; any leftover cheese must be mopped up with your toast, no exceptions.
2)Homemade Sushi Rolls - The Airman had an Asian friend of his over to teach us how to do this. As far as I can tell there are only Two rules when it comes to sushi making. (1.) Make sure you get the right rice, that would be sushi rice, says so right on the package. And (2.) make sure everything is as fresh as possible, especially the fish. I may live in Florida but there is no good fish markets close by, so the Airman and I played it safe with some vaccum sealed imitation lobster and it tasted great.
3) Chocolate and Butterscotch Spiked Rice Krispie Treats - This is my go to desert in a stitch because it is basically rice krispie treats with chocolate and butterscotch chips thrown in with the krispies. I made them for a movie night over at a friends house where we were watching "Julie and Julia". I had a good laugh at the part in the film where one lady says rather derisively, "marshmallow fluff! What is that?"
