You've been good to me old friend. Thanks for the memories!
Breakfast Pizza:
I have seen a lot of these 'breakfast' pizzas on the Internet (meaning pizza's with eggs baked on top) - my favorites being Elina's and Deb's.
The crust is a whole wheat crust from Trader Joe's.... The greens are kale sauteed in a little olive oil with onions, garlic, and crushed red pepper and the pizza is topped with a little bit of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
I started by blind-baking the crust for a few minutes - I like my crust really crispy and almost charred. I then topped the crust with the greens and cheeses. I made 2 little wells in the toppings, and cracked an egg in each of them. I seasoned the eggs with a little salt and pepper (the same way I do when I make myself a sunny-side up egg.
In true Clean Plate Club tradition, this 'breakfast' was actually for dinner....and again for lunch the next day. It was YUMMY.
Vichyssoise, or Potato Leek Soup:
Wow, I made this a long time ago. I had gotten leeks, potatoes, and parsnips in my Boston Organics Box and it was early spring. I wanted to make a soup that could be served hot or cold, since the weather was (and still is) being a little non-committal.
I started by cleaning and chopping my leeks, and then sweating them in a pot with a little oil. Once they were soft, I added 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water....and a now undetermined number of potatoes and parsnips....I cooked until the tubers were soft. Then blended the mix.
I topped the soup with black forest bacon from whole foods, and some chives. Yum!
So I believe that is that last of the canon pictures. It was a great camera, and I did use it nearly every day, so I certainly got my money's worth! My next posts will be with my new Nikon Coolpix 8000. I'm really happy with my purchase so far....!
