Tina's Pic Story - 'O'

Oval Eggs

Oval Cats

Oval Roma Tomatoes

Omelette (tomatoes, potatoes, onions, peppers, mozzarella)

Tina hosts the fun photo meme Pic Story. Here, we provide the pictures to match the meme theme she kindly provides - which this week is the letter 'O'

I chose as one theme Oval - a unique shape that is seen here in three ways: Eggs, Sleeping cats and Roma tomatoes. Not pure ovals, but very close! I did choose one more 'O' which here is an Omelette that was made from the proceeding Ovals: eggs and tomatoes. Hopefully we have not become Overwrought nor Obsessed with the 15th letter of the alphabet!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Les œufs

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and we endeavour to locate shadows in any venue, outside and inside. On a cold day outside, the changing lighting was pursued inside.

Sometimes shadows are big and bold - or for one dinner last week, very slight...I like eggs cooked a certain way, and that is full of things that mask the egg taste says Patti - no doubt. One way of preparation we rarely do is the frittata. Instead of the usual egg scramble cooked on the range, this finished cooking under the broiler. 

The EB egg and half-and-half texture is fluffy, the potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and onions soft, the mozzarella melted perfectly. Paired with an inexpensive ($3.99) Portuguese red, an elegant meal, complete with shadows from apéritif to desert...

Tina's WW - Dinner to follow

Something is about to be made for dinner - the random ingredients on the plate suggest something - so we guess and guess (a frittata actually)...see Tina's WW

Ruby Tuesday 2 - Eggsactly

Ruby Tuesday 2 arrives this week, with a tantalizing, terrific and tasty
ruby. 

We like eggs in this house. Patti and Allegra prefer theirs fried. I do not...

Instead, I prefer to make scrambles with potatoes, tomatoes, cheese and so on. (Patti notes that I add all the rest to mask the egg flavor...she knows me pretty well :)

That said, we all agree that we cook the brand that is stamped with the famous (in the US) EB, is the best basis for cooked eggs. Of course, the initials 'EB' stand for Eggland’s Best - the Pennsylvania company eggs that taste better. The company touts, and hey, we agree!

On Saturday, we used five of these to make a dinner frittata. Naturally, the red plate and macro red egg stamp were perfect rubies for today!
