Heh. I'm cheap! (but not easy). Vision Direct has the promo. You still need to spend a minimal amount, but it's a pretty good deal.

Eggs under easy, corned beef hash, roasted garlic bread and chunked tomatoes.
The corned beef was leftover from St. Patty's and reserved frozen for hash.
Soooo good!

I ended up bailing on dinner. We cleaned up all our leftovers except for yesterday's soup. Now I get to start all over again tomorrow!
Nice legs!
Actually, those look good and I'm not a dark meat eater. Just plain ol' bottled dressing? Would low fat work? I don't like oil (ie: greasy) dressings on salad so I never buy or make full-oil dressing.

I like my yolks runny so I prepare the eggs on a griddle at medium high heat "under" a pot lid until the yokes become slightly opaque and very warm to the touch.
Not to be confused with Kylies Down Under over easy method which might be the same as my Up Over under easy.
Hmmmm, something to think about yes?
BTW your legs look very good.
I don't suppose there are any leftovers?

That's similar to the way I learned to make steamed eggs (easy poached) from my great Aunt who owned a lunchroom in the 1940's. I get a small frypan super hot, melt a touch of something (usually Smart Balance since it cooks like butter but has no cholesterol) and slide the egg(s) on, then quickly pour a small amount of iced water down the side of the pan and pop the lid on. The steam cooks the whites so quick the yolks never get cooked. Then I slide them onto a plate for Himself. If they're for me I flip them and cook them until the yolk is rock hard! Learning to like it a little moister...

That's interesting. I'll have to try that.
Why ice water though?

HotHot pan + very cold water = lots of steam! I suppose regular tap water would work, but I always grab a cup from the cupboard when I start, put lots of ice cubes in it, then cover with water. By the time the eggs hit the pan the water can't get any colder.

Thanks for the tip. Ill add that to my slowly expanding cooking repertoire.

I should hope a 1/2 cup (120ml) portion of ice cream which contains .4 egg yolks, 10 Tsp. heavy cream, 6 Tsp. milk, and 2.5 Tsp sugar would not cause heart problems.Sounds luscious but reading it made my heart seize up just a little - and not in a good way!

If I get my act together early enough I'll send Himself out to put them on the grill, otherwise I'll use my cast iron grille and hope I don't set the smoke alarms off again.
There are certain things I make where hubby knows ahead of time to disable the smoke alarms. He just puts them back up once I'm done cooking.

Spaghetti. I am on a low carb diet so mine was with shoe stringed zuchini that was slightly cooked in salted water.

But the problem would be the "1/2 cup portion". Not known for my restraint.
I know, I know, "all things in moderation". That mantra got me to lose 40 pounds even with a small bit of real ice cream. (Then we moved but the mantra got left back home.
) Not as good as YOURS, mind you, but real.

We can't disable ours! They run both on battery and are hard wired. The only way we could be sure they stay quiet is to take out all the batteries AND kill the power to the house. There just has to be a better way...

Sensitive? I say annoying! They are foolproof so that the fools who wouldn't use them are safe. Unfortunately for those of us with a lick of common sense we have so many hoops to jump through it's barely worth it. I suppose we could close the doors to the basement and each bedroom, but that leaves the upstairs and downstairs hallways exposed. We would have to check each circuit to see which breaker controlled each detector. I think I'll sear the chops on the stovetop and have earplugs at the ready next time!
