Wait, curry ketchup on eggs actually sounds AWESOME. I hadn’t even thought of that.

Curry ketchup is even better.

Eggscellent!

Ketchup is a key part of Om Rice (Japanese fried rice omlette). It works well because it blends with both the egg and the rice inside 

I don’t like ketchup on eggs but I do put hot sauce on eggs so I don’t think Id fault someone else for putting on ketchup. To me the consistency of ketchup  is too thick to put on an egg and the flavor would overpower the egg.

It’s relatively easy to make yourself too. Just buy a whole head of cauliflower and use a box grater on the “medium” side to grate into the rice size pieces. May have to squeeze out some liquid but you can skip that if you want. Then you just sautee then cover to steam. Add whatever you want in.

Rice has a long shelf life and doesn’t need refrigeration. Perishable produce like cauliflower costs more to compensate for any that goes bad before getting sold.

Escargot is one of those things that the process of making it at home (specifically the sheer quantity of butter involved) make you kind of not want to eat it.  At restaurants, that stuff is out-of-sight/out-of-mind.

Now playing

I suggest everlasting syllabub. It’s an old (like, 300 years or so) dessert that usually uses orange juice and quite a bit of lemon zest.

Cut it up and let it sit in gin or vodka in the fridge for a week.

I’m just sad that no-one names their kid Fanny any more.

As a Swedish American, I’m always confused about people who drag their trees out before January 13th (Tjugondag Jul), which is the designated day you start taking your Christmas stuff down.

My kid spend six hours starving, finally learned how to use the can opener with her last ounce of strength. I handed her a jar of Marmite and she spent six hours trying to use the can opener on it. My how we laughed!

Americans can’t really make fun of this since it is more effort and planning than our own Federal Government has put into the logistics of distribution and administration of the vaccines.

I was absolutely sure that was going to be a parody.

Wow.
