How Would YOU Handle Being Unequally YOLKED?

[Magenta]

My mother used to put sandwich spread in them. Sandwich spread is kind of like McDonald's Big Mac sauce. Unfortunately the good brand she used to use is no longer in production. In fact I could only find one brand last time I wanted to make deviled eggs that way, and it was terrible!

As a kid, I used to put just sandwich spread in sandwiches LOL.

It was kind of like mayo with relish in it. I loved pickles! And mayo .

Yeah it was good back then.

It has changed though. It tastes bleh now. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. An elderly lady at church mentioned you can't get good sandwich spread these days.

I am definitely not a professional. I have never once made a souffle or even a simple roux.

I just like combining flavors to see if they turn out the way they turned out in my imagination. Usually they do. Sometimes I get surprised.

Speaking of which: Never, ever, EVER put anise extract in boiled custard. Black licorice and egg should not be combined, I discovered.

So we are staying at the double tree in Danvers mass, the breakfast was very good......even their scrambled eggs lol.

I put anise extract in my pfeffernusse.

I had a cheese, mushroom, and onion omelette for dinner last night .

I laid it over a small, thin, toasted pizza round, and cut it into triangles to eat like a pizza .

Smashing! Cheese, mushroom, & onion are my fave combinations in an omelette...and other things as well. I'm always loading up on mushrooms and onions in the produce section.

Yum! Yes, mushrooms, cheese, and onions are wonderful augmentations to eggs. I used to put celery
in my omelettes as well, but have not bought any for a while. Zucchini, also. I have had to stop buying
mushrooms by the box in an attempt to save money, because I can never eat them all before they start
to go bad. Now I buy 4-6 at a time, if even that. If they are large, 1/2 a mushroom is all that is needed
on a pizza, for instance. Last night's omelette had a whole, medium sized mushroom in it, and two
types of onion: red and white. The cheese was a mix as well, of shredded marbled Farmers.

My daughter and I used to go out for brunch on a Saturday back in the days when she only worked
until noon on that day, and we would almost always get an avocado, cheddar, and bacon omelette.
They were quite yummy as well! That same restaurant had a full spread all-you-can-eat smorgasboard
on special Sundays, and we went for that a few times, but had to stop, because the tendency is to
over-eat to "get your money's worth." .

I likem a little glossy but not slimy and definitely not done to the point that you can use it as a frisby.

I really dislike browned, crunchy whites! .

Nutmeg would've been the more conservative spice to add.

Yes! I always grate nutmeg on my homemade egg custard. It's a must for me. Nutmeg is a fave. I keep it stocked up. I add it to a lot of recipes...even meatballs.

Omelettes are so wonderfully versatile. I've even made tuna omelettes. I got the idea from a bodybuilder on yt. I found that it was a tasty omelette.
I am a big zucchini fan and use it in a lot of recipes.
I like all-you-can-eat smorgasboards....but, as you said there is the tendency to overeat. Then I feel miserable and like I need one of those motorized carts to help me get outta there lol

I don't think the issue is how you eat your eggs but how many eggs you have.
If you have one egg and your friend/date/spouse has six I think that's a bit unequal.

Yesterday I ate seven for breakfast.

Maybe that's why I'm still single. It would be hard to find a woman my equal in egg consumption.

Picture the scene:

You're sitting down to a beautiful table setting, just about ready to enjoy your classically cooked ham and cheese omelet, and it's looking something like this:

But as you begin to sliced into that folded half moon of fluffy goodness, the person across from you is digging into a plate of eggs so runny, they might as well have been served in a soup bowl:

Obviously, the two of you are UNEQUALLY YOLKED?!

How would you handle this situation?

* Would the differences in egg preferences bother you?

* Would you try to talk the person and convert him/her from their heathen ways?

* Would it affect how much you were able enjoy your own meal?

* Or would you ask for a sample, because you too like eating eggs that double as soup?

* NEEDED DISCLAIMER * -- Here in Singles, we've had threads by the dozen (and much more) discussing being unequally yoked, which we all know is a very serious and Biblical topic. If anyone else wants to start a current thread about that subject, please feel free.


This thread, however, is about just having a little fun discussing what would we would do if we find ourselves in the company of someone with whom we are unequally yolked. (Admittedly, I'm also curious as to whether people will answer this thread without reading the OP and just assume its about yoking, which might be amusing.)

So in the spirit of the thread...

How do YOU personally like your eggs?

And what are the other ways of fixing eggs that you consider to be totally heathen?

Bon appetit!

I like eggs prepared every way, even raw, ala eggnog. My favs are fetta cheese, spinach, onion omelets. But I'm also a hashbrowns/fried potatoes fan... so when browned string hashbrowns fried with onions soak up the yoke of an over-easy egg, I'm a happy camper. Hardboiled eggs with salt and pepper, or egg salad are great.

I don't think I've had soft-boiled eggs; and I've had poached maybe once. Poached has a nice texture (and who wants over-cooked eggs?), but if I'm cooking bacon, sausage or hashbrowns, or with butter, I like the extra flavor in fried eggs.

I am not much of one to buy magazines, but many years ago I bought one that had many different
cheesecake recipes in it. I used to love making cheesecakes LOL. My fave from that purchase was a
white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry topping, but there were savoury ones, too. I am not sure
of the occasion, as this was many years ago, but I made two cheesecakes to take to some "event" -
it was among friends... we used to get together as a group for dinner often. Anyways, people hear
cheesecake and they automatically think sweet, but one of my cheesecakes was a salmon cheesecake
with dill. It went over like a lead balloon haha. But my white chocolate cheesecake was a huge hit any
time I made it. I called it a heart stopper as it had a kg of cream cheese, a pound of white chocolate,
a cup of butter, and four eggs in it. I modified the recipe so it had a crushed shortbread and chocolate
wafer base, and put the raspberries under a sour cream and melted dark chocolate topping .

As much as I look at recipes, I'm am surprised that this is the first time I've heard of salmon cheesecake! I'm now looking at salmon cheesecake recipes. It actually sounds interesting.
Your white chocolate cheesecake sounds amazing

Salmon is not acceptable in cheesecake even in an alternate universe where the only foods are salmon and cheesecake.

 

[Mem]

I, too, was prompted to investigate salmon cheesecake recipes. Most of them could barely garner 10 reviews, but I saw that one of them was a only a couple of hundred short of 2k reviews that amassed a collective 4.9 stars!

I would go for a slice, drizzled with Cholula and maybe fresh jalapeno rings to make it more enticing.
