bellpeppah flowah powah!

Eggs are a staple in my pantry, and a favorite in my family.  My hubby, the padre de pamilya, isn't "E99y" (read: "eggy") for no reason.:-)  I know there must be hundreds of ways to serve eggs but I am always on the lookout for those simple recipes that still deliver a great punch!  So when a friend posted this on her Facebook timeline, I just had to try it!   Simple things are really the best, eh?   Easy to make, pretty to look at, and because it's tasty, it's pretty easy to gobble up too! ;-p    I wonder how I never thought of doing eggs this way!   I say, "Great job!" to whoever came up w/ this idea first.  I could just imagine him to be one artsy person, wouldn't you?

So without further ado, here's one pretty meal our family had a few weeks ago...



     Bellpepper flower eggs

     ingredients:
          olive oil
          bellpepper sliced to 1" rounds
          eggs
          salt
          ground black pepper

     1.  in a pan, pour 2 tsp of olive oil on medium heat

     2.  pan-grill the bellpepper rounds for a couple of minutes 
         per side to brown them a little and release the juices

     3.  break an egg into each bellpepper round, 
         add some salt to taste

     4.  add ground black pepper to taste (optional)

     5.  cook til the eggs are done to your liking

     6.  serve w/ sidings & soup for a light but complete meal :)

my lesson learned: 
depending on the size of the eggs, increase the size of your pepper rounds so the eggs don't overflow


enjoy!  ^_^

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
