Greens, Eggs and Ham

By now, you all know about my unhealthy obsession with kale. Or should we say… my “healthy” obsession. And this recipe combines roasted kale, runny egg yolks and pork products. I will eat them on a boat and with a goat. I will eat them with a small country who will brunch at my table because I can make a ton of this at one time. However, I would take this recipe one step further: I would toast some English muffins, make a microwave hollandaise sauce and just complete the kale benedict right then and there. Oh, and instead of ham, I would substitute pancetta. The amazing pancetta funk just sends this thing right over the edge. I probably just added about a million calories but… some things must be sacrificed on the altar of taste my friends. Say… I like Kale Eggs and Ham. I like them… I like them Sam I am.

Starbucks Pumpkin Scones

OK, so if you’re in the group who thinks “Ah, scones. Those dry stuffy British teatime staples:” I need you to try these. The pumpkin in it (I used some frozen roasted pumpkin I had in the freezer) keeps it from being dry. It’s like I had never tasted a scone until I had these. Oh wait. I have had these before. At Starbucks. For like $4.00 a piece. And I just made them in my kitchen and gobbled them down my greedy little throat. So take that Starbucks. I got your number AND I got your recipe. As a special note, I added currants to mine. Please do so. You won’t regret it.

Currently following a recipe for banana bread and I hit this little gem: “Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.” Back it up. Ain’t no way. I don’t care what it does to the recipe. I’d need a few more days in the gym a week (more than the current “zero”) to pull that off. We’re just going to whip out the trusty hand mixer and make some magic. Shut it Martha Stewart, Sara’s in the kitchen now.

The two sick kids and sick husband (3 sick kids) are all put to bed. The rain is slowly dripping outside the window and the dim kitchen light is affording me just enough luminescence to put away the dishware from the six or so feeding frenzies that happened throughout the day. I could do the smart thing and go to bed. But the deafening silence is so delicious. I could stay up stupidly late to let the silence wash over me in waves as I enjoy doing tasks without whining from any and all family members. I could be smart… But we all know what I’m going to do here. There’s always coffee.
