Craigslist Friday

I’ll be gone all weekend, so a two tiered post.  The first is a recipe I made up that I really enjoy.  The second is my new bad habit for Fridays.  So, if you’re allergic to eggs or hate food, scroll on down to the bottom to see this week’s ad.  Also, since I’ll be gone, feel free to make your own awesome ad for the Antholgy here.  Link it in the comments.

One:

Ingedients:

4 eggs.  One small green onion, sliced (discard most of the leaf).  One clove garlic, sliced.  One quarter cup diced or sliced mango.  One tablespoon brown sugar. Teaspoon of salt.  Two small slices of medium (sharp if you’re adventurous) cheddar.  Black pepper and red pepper flakes.  Cooked bacon (optional).

Begin by beating four eggs with your altitude specific amount of water to get a thin omlette.  in a buttered pan, cook omlette as one does such things (it’s all in the wrist).

Melt down a tablespoon of butter over medium heat and put in a small sliced green onion and the clove of garlic.  Add the teaspoon of salt.  Saute for a couple minutes.  Seperately, dice or thinly slice about a half cup or mango and very lightly press in a towel to remove some moisture.  Place mango in the butter and stir for a few minutes until the mango starts to settle and lose some sizzle.  That means most of the water is gone.  Add the brown sugar (trust me here) and stir until it begins to bubble and froth into a caramel.  Once the fruit is evenly caramelized, remove pan from heat and allow mixture to settle.

Fold into your omlette the small two small slices of cheddar, pepper, and bacon and pour caramel over the top.  Serve after the cheese has begun to melt.

Two:  The real fun of Fridays!

  1. 1. Now I’m hungry.
    2. Text message replies to your ad would be the go.

  2. It was very good. I’ve been wondering for a while how a more savory caramel would taste. I’ve had spicy caramels, usually just chile flakes or powder in a ruun of the mill salty caramel, but this was new. The garlic sort of rounded out the sweetness and the onion added a little pique with the peppers. It was good stuff. The bacon and cheddar just puts it over the top. I’m wondering how that combination would work on something like salmon. I’ll leave out the cheese for that one, but the rest seems like it would be pretty good.

    I already got spam off the ad. Which is funny all on itself.

  3. Casey/RH,

    Much enjoyed the Craig’s List Faux Ad. Much frightened by how much it actually mimics real conversation these days.

  4. Yeah, I was a little worried at how accurately a stay at home Craigslister looking for a job was portrayed. It sort of scared me that I was capable of such a thing.

    Thanks for stopping by. It took me a second to figure out who “RH” was.
