Un-Bento #15: Breakfast of Champions

Poached egg on low-cal toast with fake butter; approx. 175 cal.

if there's one good thing my old stepmom ever did it was making this for breakfast 


it freaked me out at first mostly because of the runny yolk i just couldn't get around it not being cooked


i'm slowly getting over that 


mostly because uncooked yolks are freaking delicious

mmm yolkssss

now i bet you would like to know how to make this masterpiece of cooking wouldn't you

I BET YOU WOULD

WELL SCORE

poached eggs on toast

ingredients

an egg

two pieces of bread OR JUST ONE IF YOU ARE A SISSY

butter for your toast

vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

1. get a pot of water alllmost boiling but not quite
2. when there are bubbles all along the bottom put in a little splash of vinegar but not a ton (you want the egg to hold together not taste like pickles)
3. stir in the vinegar and make sure the water is moving in a circle (this wraps the bits of egg around the middle when you put it in see)
4. crack the egg into the water
5. turn the heat down and let the egg cook for a few minutes until the white isn't clear anymore BUT DON'T LET IT BOIL unless you like a potful of vinegar-smelling egg foam (hint: you don't)
6. YEAH TOAST
7. scoop out with a slotted spoon or a fork or something and put on a paper towel to drain
8. put between pieces of toast

9. devour

Un-Bento #10: I'M ENJOYING A TREAT DERRICK

The latest Hanukkah cookies.

s-so our family is roughly as late as three late things and we are having our Hanukkah party tomorrow night

we have a big yankee swap every year and being in college i don't really ever have much to contribute so i thought i'd make up a box of cookies and truffles

oreo cheesecake truffles

i know you're interested now

Sad naked truffles. :c

they're made by food processing a package of oreo cookies and mixing the whole thing in with an 8-ounce glub of cream cheese

roll them into balls and refrigerate for a short period of time until they stop being greasy and falling apart

they are delicious

e-especially after you cover them in chocolate and or more oreo crumblies

anyway here's a dreidel cookie for funsies

and the recipe for extra funsies:

delicious non-denominational sugar cookies

ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or less if you use salted butter)
• • • 3/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

1. preheat oven to 325 degrees F (~165 C)
2. combine the flour and salt in a middly-size bowl
3. cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until it's super fluffy and awesome
4. add the egg and vanilla and beat until well blended
5. scrape down sides of bowl and add the flour mix and then beat it until it's combined BUT DON'T MIX IT TOO MUCH (it will seem like it is too dry and not mixy and terrible but do the next part anyway)
6. gather the dough into a ball then make the ball into a disk and refrigerate until cold (like an hour or so)
7. roll out dough on a floured surface or between two pieces of parchment paper (rubber spacers make uniform rolling easy)
8. use cookie cutters to make fun shapes and then bake for 13 minutes
