Grape and grain; light and dark; wine and beer; champagne straight from the bottle at one in the morning - between us we hit most of the traditional milestones on hangover highway last night. And if there's one thing that a hangover needs, it's a good breakfast. Success had become imperative - if we wanted to start the New Year off right, and not spend the whole day paying for the excesses of the night before, we'd have to turn this:
into a fair approximation of this:
I'm sure there's laws and whatnot about sharing the recipe online, but there's not a great deal to it - which is why we picked it to be first. Basically you just chop everything up, cook it for a while, and then put the eggs in. Oh Gordon, you make it look so easy on TV!
In truth it was fairly simple, but when you're embarking on a culinary odyssey and hardly have room in your frying pan to add salt and pepper, it might be time to buy a new pan. Point taken.
The cramped quarters meant that the wells for the eggs were more like swimming pools, but poached eggs are just as delicious as fried - if a little harder to judge when they're cooked.
In the end, though, it turned out pretty well!
Hearty, healthy, and delicious - if a bit disappointingly lacking in spice - our hangovers were satisfied, and the year begun right.
Next time, bread and butter pudding!

this looks like something I would make! mostly in that I put chopped tomatoes and green onions on everything these days cause its such an easy way to add texture and color
