Green eggs and... cheese. Sandwich.

Though I forget the context, I recently saw a dish of scrambled eggs cooked with spinach. The bitter-green taste of spinach nicely complements the seasoned, creamy eggs. I sweated some onions with garlic first, and then tossed in the spinach, which wilts almost immediately (so don't turn your back on it). Then I mixed in a couple eggs.

Spinach and eggs are tasty enough, but to make it a little more substantial I made sandwiches, each with a slice of cheese inside, and toasted them on the griddle.

Note: we have a new oven and stove. It's nice to finally graduate from using the woefully underpowered and pathetic GoldLine USA brand plug in burner set (subnote: if you see a piece of electronics in Israel with "USA" as part of its marketing, you can be sure it is a piece of garbage), but I haven't gotten used to the stove yet. It is electric ceramic, and while it's capable of a lot of heat, it can be hard to control that heat. Vegetables that are supposed to gently sautee instead emerge charred. Butter intended to melt instead hisses, browns, and burns within seconds, emitting fishy odors. So two of the sandwiches came out on the burnt side. And I'll figure out the stove eventually.

Spicy Mexican Eggs and Potatoes

Eggs and potatoes are the two food items we always have around. I wanted to try something different with them so tonight I made Spicy Mexican Eggs and Potatos or at least my version of it. First off, I made my own Fajita seasoning since I didn't have any. I left out the cornstarch, chili powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper since we didn't have any but it still tasted good so edit away. To make the eggs and potatoes I basically followed the recipe only I used a green pepper instead of a yellow (they're cheaper/do yellow peppers exist in Israel?), boiled the potatoes whole (just because I didn't pay enough attention to the recipe), and I let the potatoes fry for longer than a minute to see how crispy they'd get (I like crispy fried potatoes - who doesn't??).

Recommendation: if you're going to try this recipe, dice the potatoes and then boil. Peeling and dicing hot potatoes is a challenge. Also, I basically skipped the heatproof dish under a grill business since I didn't really know what that meant/how I could implement that part.

All in all it tasted good although hash browns with the fajita seasoning and regular old scrambled eggs/omelettes would have tasted just as good if not better.
