What do you eat when you can't think of anything else?

[KatyCooks]

Boil an egg. Whack a potato waffle under the grill. While they are doing, finely chop a smallish tomato. When the egg is hard boiled, mash it (we don't want any bouncy bits of egg white!!) Mix the tomato and mashed egg with a small amount of mayo and a good amount of freshly ground pepper. Pile on top of the potato waffle and put back under the grill for a few minutes to heat through. Heaven!

I tried cooking under my grill... nothing happened.

What is a potato waffle???

The egg and tomato combination sounds a little strange to me, but I won't knock something until I've tried it.

Just realized, my go-to is Peanut Butter. With jam or banana or nothing but the bread. If I don't happen to have bread at that particular moment - a spoonful of peanut butter is just fine. It's sweet, salty, creamy maybe even celery or something ccrunchy.
If I have celery though it is more liable to be cheese.
If I have cream cheese, bread or bagel. Sometimes just a sandwicch of cream cheese mixed with some relish.

If I can't think of anything else - it is usually because I don't want to get out pots or pans and cook something. Either too hungry to wait or too lazy.

I love celery and peanut butter. And apple slices and peanut butter.

I really don't eat peanut butter very often, but I always keep it around because my son goes through it like crazy. One of my favorite peanut butter snacks, though, is making a folded PB sandwich if I come home from work starving. I eat it mostly just to get something in my stomach and take the edge off my hunger. And I like drizzling the PB with honey. One slice of bread, PB & honey, fold it up and it's a yummy little treat.

The ones I've seen on YouTube are loose hash brown potatoes cooked in a well lubed waffle iron.

Oh! That sounds really good.

I've heard of that - on my bucket list for ages... I'm at a very slow crawl.

I don't make potato waffles - BirdsEye make them for me! (Basically mashed potato, formed into a waffle and then grilled til crispy. Pretty unhealthy and not something I have regularly, but my, oh my, so very tasty! (I sometimes top them with three slices of strong (sharp) cheddar and baked beans instead of the egg and tomato - even less effort and a terrific quick fix.) Also great topped with scrambled eggs. (No, I don't work for BirdsEye.)

I had never heard of putting peanut butter with jelly (or jam as I would call it). Sounded pretty strange in fact! For years, I scoffed at the idea. Then I tried it. And found it really rather good! It has to be good quality peanut butter (I favour a dark roasted, crunchy variety), and I like it with blueberry jam. Quite the snack!

PB&J's (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) are a staple here in the states. You can even buy them frozen. I have one of the little contraptions (shown below) to make my own 'Uncrustables' at home.

I love blueberry jam.

 

[KatyCooks]

Okay, don't laugh, but I always thought Blueberries were only grown in America. And the reason for that is the song "I found my Thrill, on Blueberry Hill". Which I heard in my teens on "Happy Days". (That was WAY before the internet.) When I discovered Blueberries were widely available in Britain, I was amazed! Anyway, they are my favourite fruit.

Ha, too funny. However, I'm glad they exist because I love blueberry anything. In fact, I had a glass of blueberry wine just last night. Blueberries and blackberries. I can eat them like candy.

Yep, that's a good one as well. Can't go wrong with popcorn, for sure.

I make my PB&J sandwiches with strawberry jam. My my mouth likes blueberries, lower gastro-intestinal tract does not.

I am glad they exist too! What a lovely fruit - no peeling, no seeding, no segmenting. Just eat!

Well I am sure you use very good quality strawberry jam CD?

Smuckers. I like it. Don't know if it would live up to British standards.

Smucker's is definitely good. But the best jams I've bought have come from the farmers market. So many different flavors that I can't find in the grocery store. That and they taste better.
