DAILY SNACK
Yesterday morning,
My husband woke up with a hankering to cook eggs benedict.
Not to eat them, mind you,
(He dislikes eggs.)
Just to cook them.
For us.
That’s two poached eggs sitting atop a thin, crispy slice of back bacon,
And a perfectly browned potato latka,
Covered in homemade hollondaise,
With asparagus, fruit salad, and a croissant on the side.
It doesn’t even matter that it took all morning to make.
Dinner was all me, though.
The angel hair prima vera with jarred pesto sauce I whipped up,
Was not exactly blog-worthy.
But I did stumble upon one culinary discovery.
Behold the poor man’s mandolin:
That’s right.
Vegetable peelers, not just for peeling anymore.
