I laid in bed this morning for an excessive amount of time because all that I have to do today is do some studying, meet up with a friend for a birthday, and see Fantastic Mr. Fox for date night with my terrific beau. What a life. This is why I look forward to exam week every semester.
I finally made it out from under my covers and shuffled into the kitchen--no coffee! I am out! My favorite coffee I buy through EarthFare, from a roaster in Charleston, SC, Larry's (my second favorite coffee is Turtle Creek out of northeast Columbia, but I haven't yet figured out how to get it now that I don't work at a cafe that carries it) and I gave the rest to a friend for emergency exam studying and I totally forgot. What a bummer.
In light of my coffee disaster, I still had it in me to make breakfast for my roommate and me. I pulled out frozen asparagus and spinach (getting frozen spinach is the only way I can make myself eat that awful, nutrient-rich green. Raw spinach makes my stomach hurt!), some greens from Crooked Cedar Farms in Blythewood (I think it was a mixture of arugula, baby kale, mustard greens and rape), a vine tomato, cheese, and my fresh eggs from Butter Patch Jerseys (which are INCREDIBLE by the way. I only have one left.). I cooked the veggies in some butter and then threw in the beaten eggs- I had no real aspirations for an omelet but it came out like a messy frittata, so I will call it a scramble.
In a cast iron, I diced two new potatoes and threw them in with butter, salt and pepper- cooked on medium high heat for about 15 minutes and got the best hashbrowns I have ever had. Meg and I enjoyed our breakfast with apple slices.
