vneckandacardigan: Over the weekend I was talking with some friends about our favorite foods (because what else would we talk about?). And while I love nutella, and Mexican food, and roasted chicken… I really think my answer is pizza. I just really love pizza. I could eat it every day, in all its variations.  Who’s with me??

sporkme: Oorroomas (Pork) Curry Well, not really, because I made this with chicken.  I’m still a bit weird about curry, I don’t usually love it, but after having a Sri Lankan curry a couple weeks ago that blew me away, I found this recipe from the Spicie Foodie and gave it a try, replacing the pork with chicken.  I googled some recipes on how to make your own Sri Lankan curry powder, and while I have very little idea of what I did, it was worth roasting and smashing up some seeds in order to get a really nice flavor.  I’m going to make more of this mystery powder to have on standby so I can try this with pork next time.  10 points.

darkchef: Fried Eggs with Bacon Bread Crumbs Ingredients 4 eggs 4 tablespoons flour 1 beaten egg 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs 4 strips of bacon canola oil for frying Cooking Instructions Boil eggs in a small pot of water until they reach soft boil stage (about 3-4 minutes, I used an egg-timer). Then remove eggs and place in a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs completely cool in the ice water which should take about 10 or 15 minutes. When cooled, peel the eggs by gently tapping them. There will be one side of the egg that is easier to peel. There should be part of the egg that does not come out of the shell easily. For this part, use a spoon to get inside the shell in order to help remove the egg from the shell. Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a small saucepan. While that heats, place the flour, the beaten egg and the breadcrumb in 3 separate bowls. Cook the bacon until it is dark red and crispy. Then chop the bacon into small pieces (or put it through a food processor) and add to the breadcrumb bowl. Coat each soft-boiled egg in the flour, then coat with the egg. Dump the breadcrumb/bacon mixture onto the egg, trying to get as much of it to stick and coat as possible. Then re-dredge the egg in the yolk and dump more breadcrumbs/bacon onto the egg.  I find it easiest to take a handful of breadcrumb mixture and drop it onto the egg rather than roll the eggs in the breadcrumbs. Place one egg at a time in the hot oil. Turn the egg after about 10-20 seconds to brown on all sides. Remove the egg to a paper towel and continue with the rest of the eggs. Serve while warm. whaaaaaaat?
