Recovery Mode
As a recovery tactic from this weekend’s stollen adventure, I took today off from work. A lovely day, really. Mom and I went shopping, I took Chappy for a walk, did some knitting . . . Nothing particularly exciting. And there’s not really anything to take pictures of for you, either.
We had "Idaho Sunrise" for supper, though. Yummy and easy.
It’s something I got from Marion Cunningham’s "Supper Book" cookbook. Basically, you bake a potato at 450 degrees. Then scoop out the insides, mash them with some milk, butter, salt, pepper, restuff the potato. So far, fairly basic, right? But THEN, break an egg into/on top of the potato, add a little pat of butter, and put back in the oven for about 10 more minutes, until the egg white is set, but the yolk is still soft. To eat, you stir the egg into the potato and . . . yum. Easy, yet reasonably nutritious (grin)

That baked potato sounds yummy, but it’s got nothing on that stollen below. Yum.Mee.
Aw. Cute pic of Katy and her amber eyes. It must be nice to sleep in a room inspired by them.
Hmmm. I’m not really sure about that baked potato. You’ll have to try harder to convince me.
You had me until the egg bit. I’ll trade the egg for some cheddar cheese. Love me some twice baked potato.
I would be game to try that potato. As long as ALL the white is set. Can’t do runny whites. Euw.
my mom made something similar, only she used left over mashed potatoes in muffin cups. i LOVED that stuff. unfortunately, i won’t be making it here, mark hates eggs. we usually have potato patties when i have left over mash.
I was OK until I hit the runny egg part, yucky
Hmm, even I could make that.
That potato sounds fantastic. . . if you replace the egg with cheese! (Sorry, not an egg person.)
Your card came in the mail yesterday and it was a lovely surprise — thank you very much!
I’ve never heard of that kind of potato dish, but it sounds very nice.
sounds like you had a great day off! I will have to try the potato, sounds very good.
Yeah, I’m with the “no egg” folks! I do twice baked potatoes with goat cheese for holidays and company now and have even converted the husband, a definite Mashed Potato guy!
I’m with the others. You had me until the egg
Glad you had a nice day off to recover from the stollen!
I HAVE to try that baked potato with egg - it sounds so incredibly yummy - and what great comfort food too!
Oooh. That sounds wonderful.
