What Cathy Eats at home.

mmm-yoso is not on vacation.  Cathy apparently has nothing to do but take photos of food and post them for your perusal.

Hi.  I take photos of everything I eat.  Here is a box of citrus I got from a Dear Friend this year.  All grown in her yard.  Oranges, tangelos, blood oranges, lemons, mandarin oranges.  Thanks, Mrs. B.!

Then, I cook at home.  In college I had a roommate from Jakarta and, of course, we did not eat cow.  But I learned to crave,  and still do, chicken livers sauteed in butter and broccoli, with sesame seeds.

One weekend a few weeks ago, we had hamburger, but only hot dog buns, so I improvised.

Ah, then there are simple things- sandwiches.  Sometimes, I just *have* to have Braunschweiger on white bread with mustard and raw onions.

Or, some rare roasted beef with slices of homegrown tomatoes on fresh rye (from Panera) with a mix of horseradish and Kewpie .

Always, with a good sandwich, I have to have a good cup of coffee, whether its made with a French Press or just a couple of espresso shots with milk foam.

OK, the photo was taken at Starbucks, but I make fancy art on the top of my coffee foam at home.

Well, I try to make each meal somewhat special, anyhow...

Then, the other day, The Mister made a pork loin roast, rolled with garlic and prunes...or plums, as they are now called, or sometimes he uses

dried cherries, raisins or whatever dried fruit we have at home at the time.

BUT, at this time of year, my most favorite snack is,

Oh, yes, Peeps!

Of course, you must properly eat the little fine sugar coated marshmallow treats.  First, of course by delicately separating and individualizing each Peep, who was conjoined with his/her siblings in the package, and then the next step is, of course, eating the eyes.

Heh heh heh..

Next, you impale a single, eyeless Peep onto a bamboo skewer.

Hold over an open flame, roast the Peep and then it is prepared, ready for eating.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter.  Remember,  Peeps are on sale now!

aah! the poor little peep!

The citrus looks good. I just bought a sack of really really good blood oranges from the citrus people at hillcrest farmer's market.

Eh, the Peep was blind, didn't even see the flame coming, Lynnea. When I finally finish up the citrus I have gotten from friends, then I suppose I will have to actually buy some. Haven't been to the Hillcrest Farmers Market yet this year, good idea. Thanks.

Love the burger dog concept, you for got the chilly! ;-)

[Cathy]

Hi Bill- You are right, sometimes we do have chili with burgers,but it really was an all improvised night. Definitely always we have chili with hot dogs, else it doesn't taste right.

[mindless]

now you just need some graham crackers to box in the peeps...

[Cathy]

oooh...little prison cells for the blinded peeps....

[Wandering Chopsticks]

And some chocolate too so you can make Peeps s'mores. :)

[Cathy]

Ah, WC...using the actual Peeps Prison Cells as a platter for the chocolate enrobed burnt goodies, of course. How efficient as well as tasty!

[April]

I've never liked Peeps.. hahaha.. but they look a little tastier burnt!

[Cathy]

Hi April. The char broiled Peeps, as with all char broiled foods, are excellent. Plain Peeps are kind of boring...you know, except for the eyes. ;)

[Merry Strong]

I have been thinking about using my leftover Easter Peeps, in a S'more. YUM!

[Cathy]

Hey Merry- You have leftover Peeps? Sacrilige! I have to wait and buy the old ones and then open and hide so they can dry out! I usually eat the eyes fresh, though... Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I love your site!
