Cheap Eats

I love the cheap mainland prices. Have I said that before?
I was in shock upon finding a 38 cent box of mac and cheese.

No more cup noodles for me this summer!

At first I didn't have much money, so I got said 38 cent box of mac and cheese, hot pockets, bread, eggs, you know, the basics. Which of course in my book also includes stuff to make cookies, the chocolate ones in particular :)

Oh. I made some green chili stew this week too, go check out the post on that to see how I made it :) It's awesome to make a huge pot of it and then when you get home at two in the morning from work each night, to just warm it up and eat.

Then again, I haven't been too hungry coming home from work. They like to feed me there, that's what they say my job is. Since I've been there I've been able to have mushroom risotto, duck with an orange sauce, mashed potatoes, countless truffles and chocolates, and the best of all, soufflé. This would be the reason right now that I can't bring myself to eat anything else right now. They gave me an entire chocolate one, and plus some of the vanilla one.

5 diamonds indeed.

Did I mention they let me take home any extra bread every night? From olive loafs, to whole grain, to herb brioche.

Speaking of the herb brioche. I made a grilled cream cheese sandwich the other day with it. It was fantastic. That's all I got to say.

And another thing I like to make. As my family calls it, humpty dumpty eggs.

Here's what you need:
Slices of bread
One egg per slice of bread
Butter
Round cookie cutter (or whatever other shape you want)
Frying Pan
Flipper thing...you know what I'm talking about :P

1. Use the cookie cutter to cut out the middle of the slice of bread
2. Heat up the frying pan and melt a little butter on it (just to keep the eggs from sticking)
3. Place the bread with the center missing in the pan, and then crack the egg into the middle of the hole.
4. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the egg if you like.
5. When most of the egg white has turned solid, so however it is that you like your eggs over easy, flip it over
6. It will only take about 30 seconds to finish cooking, then take it out of the pan
7. Butter and fry the piece of bread that was taken out of the center. You can use this to dip into the center of your over easy egg :)

And that's it!
It's really easy and it's a great midnight snack too :)

Yours 'till the cookie crumbles!
