Eggs Floren-tata

This one was a collaborative effort.

Classes are getting better. I actually feel like I know what the hell my degree is about (informal modes of communication between peoples that inform and mold their communities) and I'm getting through my readings and homework. The skies have been pretty sunny (shocking I know) and the other the day, when it WAS raining, I danced around. I listened to my iPod at the bus stop and danced around in the rain. That is the sign of happier Jenny.

I'm in shock. I'm not supposed to like it. I'm not supposed to be having a good time or making friends in my program (by the way, there are some lovely people in my program). I'm supposed to be angry and miserable and frustrated to the point of throwing myself in front of bus or something. But no... strange as it may seem I was in a tired but good mood yesterday when I got home. I'd given my first in-class presentation that I'd had to make stretch for 30 min and my discussion questions went over well.

Dinner.

My man and I went grocery shopping the other day. The is important because it means that we have (drum roll) INGREDIENTS! That's right folks, I have eggs in the house and milk and spices and cooking oil and other things that normal people have. Huzzah! And do you know why I was able to get all this lovely stuff?
1. Tues are student discount day at Sobeys apparently (whoohoo!)
2. This week was buy one get one!!
I'm not kidding! We bought four cans of diced tomatoes for $2! YEAH!

All this to say, we cooked and we invented.

Originally I was going to make eggs florentine for dinner because we had spinach, but then my man collaborated.


Eggs Floren-tata

Ingredients
4 eggs
several handfuls of spinach
three diced potatoes
half a can of diced tomatoes.

First, put your iTunes on shuffle, tie on that apron and have a little dance around your kitchen. Then heat your oven to somewhere around 400 F, dice and spice those potatoes and put them in the oven (on a cooking sheet).
Dance a little more. If you're lucky, the cute boy playing video games in the other room will come and dance with you while you wait for the potatoes to finish cooking.
I was lucky :)
Next, mix those eggs! Don't put the in the pan yet, though.
Right, heat up a frying pan and wilt some spinach... and because wilting spinach makes a giant handful of spinach seem like nothing... wilt some more spinach!
Add half a can of tomatoes and let simmer to cook off that water.
Add potatoes. (You've danced. They're cooked.)
Add eggs.

Dance some more, because you're happy.

There you have it. Eggs florentine, please meet eggs fratata.
