Today, at work, there are bagels!

(Yesterday was happy hour, as on most Thursdays at the end of the day around here. I didn't stick around for that.)

I went over to the bagel table, looked at a half bagel someone had left behind, grabbed a plastic knife, scooped up a little blob of cream cheese, put the cream cheese in my mouth, and left. :-)

I am seeing a new reason why "cooking = saving money" didn't seem right for me. (Primary is the "cooking for one and being a complete n00b about it means a lot of waste" idea.) It's astonishing how often I wasn't buying my own food. I knew it was happening but I honestly didn't see how much.

This morning I ate some scrumptious spinach-cheese-onion-smokedturkey frittata. MMMMM. I am going to be addicted to chopping up little bits of smoked turkey into eggs.

Oh wow, that looks yummy - and yeah, I don't have a double boiler, at least not the size to make sauce. I suspect if I looked in the right place I could simply *buy* a jar of hollandaise. It might not be as good as fresh, but when you consider that we're comparing against MY cooking skills here, the jar is a clear winner! :-)

there is hollandaise sauce mix (McCormick (http://www.mccormick.com/productdetail.cfm?id=6311) and Knorr (http://www.dcimports.com/knorrhollandaisesauce.html) are two brands we have out here). still requires stirring, but no double boiler.

here (http://cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com/2008/03/its-springtime-for-vegetables-and.html) is the recipe for the poached egg and hollandaise over asparagus.
