Today in the valley, our temps will be escalating to a high of 75 degrees... and, my cats are already laying in the sun on our screened-in back porch from which I will soon be writing my articles...
While I have attended the CIA nor do I have any plans to attend, I do play around on a daily basis with cooking food... I have gotten into a pattern of making a modified omelet pie about every 4 days... I take a frying pan into which I put olive oil, black pepper, and sea salt. Then, dice several green onions, 2 vege sausages, bell pepper, and mushrooms... while that is cooking slowly with a lid, I pour two packages of instant grits into a bowl and let it soak up the water. I crack 3 eggs into a bowl and scramble them up to fluff them up with air.
Once the stuff in the pan is done, I put the grits into the microwave and blast it at full power for a minute... then stir... another thirty seconds... add 2 slices of cheese... another thirty-second blast... then stir and set aside. I pour the air-infused eggs into the pan on top of what is already in there and cover.
When the eggs are well cooked, I turn off the heat and pour in the grits/cheese mixture, and spread it out... I cut it into 4ths and eat 1/4 with a toasted English Muffin that may or may not be covered with sugar-free strawberry jelly.
The total calories per meal are 350...
I am not a chef and I don't pretend to be a chef. I am a retired individual who has been forced into cooking because his wife has refused to cook after she retired... my creativity comes from necessity... this is what I do now... and the last thing I want to experience being retired is boredom...
