This chapter is "Eggs
& Cheese" and those things do often appear together. But
this recipe lacks cheese, an oversight I was prepared to downgrade it
for. The taste - especially the generous helping of green onions, and
the salt & pepper I didn't measure as I added them to the eggs -
makes up for it, though. I did add some West Indian hot sauce,
because the stuff I have is amazing with potatoes, though I made sure
to also evaluate this dish without such additions.
The recipes I planned
before my shopping trip Thursday evening included a bit of my
attempts at efficiency, with some ingredients appearing in multiple
recipes. The broccoli that went into both Thursday's salad (carried
over for Friday's lunch) and the Asian Noodle Bowl is one example,
the bacon that appears here, in the broccoli salad, and in my plan
for tomorrow's supper is the other. My cupboards are pretty small and
pretty full, and my need for a chest freezer increases daily, but
this kind of planning is helping. This simple little thing, that I'm
sure many other people do as a matter of course, is a fairly large
departure from my typical grocery shopping habits, in which I just
look for those items I've consumed recently, and restock.
Part of the motivation
for this project is my low-level lack of satisfaction with my typical
diversity of meals; I had around half-a-dozen meals that I would eat
regularly, with most of those being very easy to prepare and taking
little time. I don't think I ate poorly (with the possible exception
of last summer, though not in terms of quality, just quantity - I
need to eat more!), but this project does seem to be leading to some
appreciable widening of my daily intake.

You are a dynamo and an inspiration. I can't read these posts and go back to being unproductive. Way to go my love!
