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.

On review, I would add salt and pepper at the egg-scrambling stage. (I didn't for the first one we made because there is salt and pepper in the Northwoods Fire mix.)

And you are an Excellent Student. ;)

Yeah, good idea -- if you're going to add it it may as well go in with the rest of the herbs or spices.

Thank you! MMM FRITTATA. I also now own the ingredients for one of the things in Cookbook 1.0: some kind of ground beef with zucchini and garlic and tomato. (Hence the garlic press.) The student is trying new lessons! I have some time tomorrow night and may be able to make it then; I will let you know how it turns out.

[edit: I also have cauliflower for the mashed garlic-butter-cauliflower thing! Almost forgot.]
